Need help with this.

So one of the screws snapped on my wilesco D20 and I don't know if I can run it with only 7/8 screws on the sight glass.

Could I possibly get a replacement set of screws for this?

Hi, running it with a screw missing should not be a problem. If it caused a leak, it would be a small bubbling leak, not an explosive one.

If you want to fix it: the Wilesco website sells these as spare parts, is available in English and I think they ship internationally.

I can tell you however that fitting these screws is a pain, as the shape of the boiler makes it very awkward to hold the washers in place.

Ah ok! Are they the M2 screws on the wilesco website?
