my samco top rad hose is leaking out of the bleed valve ever so slightly, not good.
i inspected the o ring that the screw in bolt sits on and its a bit perished, can i replace it with any o ring thats the same size from like a plumbing shop or summat?
or are they made of something special and have to contact samco?

they are very tiny but you may get them from a plumbing specific shop,well worth a try...or if your mates with a heating engineer?...think the rtoc club shop used to keep them in stock....
John guest speed fit 10mm super seal pipe insert works a treat will cost you 10p from a plumbers shop prise the o ring off and its exactly the same size. Job sorted.
make sure its defo the nipple leaking tho not like mine that was leaking between the insert and the pipe
yeah i thought it could be that but i checked it by wiping it dry and inpecting where the leak came very closely, came from between the o ring and base of the metal insert. o ring has a small split and is a bit flat.make sure its defo the nipple leaking tho not like mine that was leaking between the insert and the pipe
can this small leak draw air into the system?
