FAQs
What boiler brands is this gland nut compatible with?
This gland nut is designed for Baxi, Potterton, and Alpha Main boilers that require part numbers 248063 or 248061.
Do I need to replace the entire diverter valve if the gland nut is worn?
Not necessarily. This part is a cost-effective solution to replace just the worn gland nut, restoring the seal and efficiency of the diverter valve.
Is this part easy to install?
The gland nut is designed for straightforward installation and can be fitted by both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts with basic mechanical knowledge.
What warranty comes with this product?

What happens if I use this part on a non-compatible boiler?
Using this gland nut on an incompatible boiler model could result in a poor seal, leaks, or the part not fitting at all, potentially causing further damage.
How can I check if my boiler needs this part?
Check your boiler's manual or the existing diverter valve for the part number. Common symptoms of a worn gland nut include leaks from the diverter valve or reduced hot water/heating performance.
Troubleshooting
Gland nut does not seal properly, leading to leaks.
Ensure the gland nut is tightened correctly. Check if the valve body where the gland nut seals is damaged or worn. If the valve body is compromised, the entire diverter valve may need replacement.
Boiler performance issues persist after replacement.
Verify that the correct part number was used for your boiler model. Ensure no other components of the diverter valve or heating system are faulty. Consult a qualified heating engineer.
Difficulty in removing the old gland nut.
Use appropriate tools, such as a spanner or wrench. If seized, penetrating oil might help, but use caution to avoid damaging surrounding components. Professional assistance may be required.
