    Hot water taps
    Hello ,

    Yesterday, without warning, no water is coming out of any of our hot water taps - be they upstairs or downstairs. No water of any kind - neither hot nor cold. Water is still coming out of cold water taps, and our central heating works OK.

    There hasn't been any cold spells to freeze any pipes, and I have to admit to being confused by this.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    What are you using to heat the water? A water heater, Gas or electric? Or a combi-boiler? Tom

    Please explain!
    If none of the hot water faucets work the that puts the focus on the water heater. If this is a newer heater with heat trap nipples in the hot and cold openings then I would rewplace the nipples with conventional hookups. Regards, Tom

    Hi,

    I meant that no water at all is coming out of the hot taps - not even any cold water.

    Thanks for your help

    If your water heater has heat trap nipples that's the first place I would start to check. Good luck, Tom
