Good evening, as the title says it happens that today I had noticed that water was beginning to drip. For a moment I imagined that it was that the hot water tank had been poked, but investigating better note that, where it dripped, it was x the drain tap. [/B] [b] That tap was never touched, the thing that was given to me by adjusting it and it began to drip more and more. Then I grabbed and closed the stopcock (I put a stopcock in the middle of the flexible where hot water goes, above the hot water tank) and I set out to take out that space of plastic butterfly key, it has a chick and an oring, I noticed If I had something weird and saw nothing, I put the key back and adjusted it to the limit. When I open the faucet that is above the thermos directly water came out to choros, saying that to avoid the mess he had put a hose to drain the pool from the kitchen. [/B] [b] Now leave everything like this because I can no longer see nothing, what I want to know is if changing that chord will have a solution or should change the entire purge, that is the complete set with the plastic thread Thank you Pd: it is a SHERMAN hot water tank a 45LTS Gas

Yes good but it is Saturday night at the moment the only thing I have available or that is by hand is a plug of ¾
And not only that, but also to get things right, I should get a pipe wrench to be able to take out the whole game or the thread that stands out, Try to take it out with the French wrench, but being plastic I will end up rounding the plastic nut .
Suppose that tomorrow I can take out the thread, I could provisionally be able to use a plug, with a clear thread until I buy a new tap. You could cover that drain for a few days until you buy the faucet or direct tap

You can put a lid ¾, with the same thread, and all good. And about doing things right, the manual says that the thermos must be purged from time to time, and you say you never touched it.
Nor do 99.99% of those who have hot water tanks.

Yes, I understand about the puga and that I have not done it, it is true ... When I referred to doing things well, I referred to the issue of tools many times because I did not use the indicated tools, it ended up damaging what you want to repair. What I want to know right now is that if you put a blind plug thread, this would not affect the behavior of the hot water tank. in fact, yes, I would put a blind thread it will not be necessary to remove that plastic nut (which would go inside the original plastic tap) I would replace it with a plug
Thank you

Hello. The bobbin was deflated when closing, the freak broke off, so the loss. To remove the bobbin, place some supplement in the center so when adjusting the key it does not deform and lets you do it with the key if it breaks or you can not remove it use a closing blade and make 2 cuts to the plastic without damaging the metal thread then with a screwdriver trowel you can easily take it out regards

Yes it is. it is slitted, let's say, that is why when I adjusted it it was as if nothing, worse still, more water was coming out of the peak. All this I have realized because I managed to disassemble it, thanks to a neighbor who lent me a pipe wrench to be able to take out that ¾ thread from the chance that another tap of an old hot water tank had, I took it out I put that old one on and Once you put the key that is (half an inch), I put a blind plug with a half inch thread. at the moment you don't have the option to purge until you buy a new trap or directly put a illa tap.
Thank you
