Hot water outlet leak on Baxi Combi Boiler

Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.38 PM

I have a slow dripping leak from the hot water outlet of my Baxi 80e Combi Boiler. I’ve replaced the fibre washer but it’s still leaking. Should there be a seal on the compression nut?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

No there should not be a seal on the compression. Please make sure that you haven’t over tightened as the fibre washer can perish quite easily. And when changing the fiber washer make sure the pipe clean and there’s nothing preventing the washer creating a seal. Hope this helped.

Check you've not cross threaded the nut.
