Capillary Fire Valve

[Onoff]

My capillary fire valve on the oil boiler keeps tripping. Teddington appears to be the make.  No problems sourcing them but do I need a 65 or 90 degree one?

 

It's mounted just above the burner on a bracket. No markings on the valve outside it's that old:

Either will work for you but the 90deg ones are needed for Agas AFAIK

Nah, only does it occasionally. Best change it now before we get snowed in though.

65c for a standard boiler. Liquid ones are better than the gas ones that are knocking about but cheaper usually. Teddington are still about too ...

65 .

Cheers all. Noted I can get away with a 2 rather than 3m long one too. Present run is a bit round the houses!

 

I'll lay the new one in a bit of trunking to protect from the witch and her broom!
