A detailed look at diverter valves and hydroblock in a boiler - Gas Training Part 2

When it comes to gas boilers, understanding how the diverter valve and hydroblock work is key to ensuring everything runs smoothly. In this video, we dive deep into these essential components, specifically in models like the Baxi GA, Baxi 100, Baxi 200, and Baxi 400. For those of us in the plumbing trade or even the eager DIYers out there, knowing how to troubleshoot and repair these parts can save time, money, and a bit of stress. The diverter valve is what directs hot water either to your taps or your heating system—basically your boiler’s traffic cop. If it starts leaking or malfunctioning, it can create a bit of chaos. Fortunately, replacing a diverter valve isn’t rocket science. With a bit of patience and the right tools, you can have it sorted out in no time. On the other hand, the hydroblock houses key components like the diverter and is responsible for maintaining pressure and flow. Understanding how it operates can help in diagnosing issues before they lead to bigger problems, which is invaluable for those of us who want to keep our customers happy and comfortable.
