John Carroll Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Has anyone had a leakage problem with this type of solenoid assembly? these are probably used in other shower makes, the top body part is glued into the bottom part, below is one from someone on another site where the two pieces actually parted company with the shower off, these showers are designed for a static mains pressure of up to 10.0bar.

dpmiller Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 some washing machine valves are similar. I've seen it a couple of times over the years. What kind of supply is it on, is there a pressure vessel and is it charged OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Carroll Posted June 28 Author Share Posted June 28 Its just taken directly off the mains supply I believe but is only used very occasionally but wouldn't think that the pressure should be excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 it's more about pulsations/ fluctuations. The glue/ weld may have embrittled over time too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipe stain can do similar. Age etc - Without the details all a bit meaningless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
