Monoblock tap spanner, one of the extension fit in there . Use to always carry one just for this situation, thank me later

[Dave.U.K]

Thank you sir for very informative videos

Or use disconnect integrated fill loop off of ch return and drain through that more control and drains quicker 👍🏼

You'd really wanna turn that after 5-10 years wouldn't you

[stevewrightvr]

I’ve been trying to get my Ho’s for a week but they ain’t answer their phones……🤨

If return valve is closed and cold water inlet closed, undo the cold side of the integrated filling loop, put a small piece of drain down hose (the larger one) and then open the return, much easier to drain than clarting on trying to open that drain off, easy when there’s space but if your limited for space just crack the filling loop

Or get a box spanner, which will have a cross hole, in case you need more leverage to undo the fitting.

Hi ya.. looks like that blackdrain spout has a slot on the end for an oversize flatblade screwdriver...?

[alexzarey]

Hi bud, how do you change those 2 pressure valves if they leak ? Do we have to drain all water ? My boiler had low pressure and when I open valve one leaks

[Skydiver]

It’s a pity that Ideal, and many other manufacturers fail to provide a good design tap for draining the boiler. Or in a location that is easy to get to. If they want to make sure that it’s not mistaken for anything else by the end user then keep the actual tap inside the boiler. I use 1/4 drive long sockets for the small nuts and bolts, but the chamfer lead on them stops any engagement onto this hexagon. If it needs a special tool then it should be given away with the product.

Designed to fail = more money to be made on servicing or replacement. Once you get mineral deposits on that drain all bets are off. More so because it’s plastic.

[martinlouden]

That's a good tip. I'm not sure why there are so many negative comments?

[janice]

Nice clear n good rate too. Most info on these is like flipping Road runner or is USA
I won't be attempting it but good to know.

[davidjohnson]

Can you do a boiler "breakdown" what pipes for what etc which goes to the cylinder, gas pipe, flow& return

[crdz]

Hi Allen have you the chema of this boiler ?

[sidstam]

Does this drain the central heating system (assuming radiator bleeds have to be opened to allow air into the rads to help push water out)?

[jonneym]

The people on here saying 10 years out of a boiler is good. The one in my house was installed 1985 👍

[randomcamerajunk]

Imagine designing an appliance that you fill with water and then fit it with a barely functional drain point. Designed by muppets and installed by muppets

[rayc]

I'm now using the drain point as one of many flue sampling points Ideal have designed throughout their boiler range 😂.
