Title: Servo pipe
Post by: venom on 22 February 2012, 10:10:13
I've got to replace the vacuum valve in the pipe, can you separate it or not I've tried boiling water but no joy >:( didn't soften it up at all.

If you mean this valve/pipe, easier to replace complete

That's the one, can't find a secondhand one nearby as mine is a two connector valve & Vx don't sell those pipes any more, they now sell a pipe by the meter @ almost £30 just for the pipe :o :o

Some NRVs have no vacuum take off, some have 1 (as per your picture) and some have two like mine & that venom wants.  :y
