NEWBE IN LOCKDOWN , Drip from overflow on hot water tank , it's a pressure system I can see that it's not from the tundush .
But from the other value as I can hear it making a sound, it a some type of knob on it , what should I do ?

It's just a steady drip in the garden!

Any pictures of where its leaking from?

[MarkN]

This pressure value (I think) meets up with the tundish overflow and goes outside where I can see the dripping

[SimonG]

Aye, not piped up right, the 15mm should connect to discharge pipe before tundish.

You will need a g3 qualified person to resolve the issue. Have you ever had it serviced? Supposed to be done annually.

[MarkN]

So is it a fault with the pressure valve

[REDSAW]

see loads not installed correctly.
i wouldnt dismiss the tundish though without taking it off as sometimes can run down the plastic sides and not drip directly into it.
G3 ticket service advised as these can go off like bombs!
