Hi everyone,

I had quite a scare with my Mara X yesterday. It was sitting in standby when I suddenly heard the entire boiler dump its pressure. At first I thought the boiler safety valve had opened, but after taking a closer look today I found that the brass fitting for the hot water outlet had cracked completely.

The problem is that half of the fitting is still threaded into the boiler, and I’m not sure how to remove it without damaging the threads.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
