    My parents built their house 40 years ago, copper going into all the rads, however, they've got a bad leak between the boiler and the back boiler beside the fireplace along a gun barrell section, system had to be shutdown pending investigation whether the system is littered with gun barrell sections or all copper.

    The leak is confirmed on a gun barrel section between main boiler and back boiler.

    Hoping this is just one random section of GB and the rest is copper, given it's copper into all the rads, or could there be hidden gremlins of GB under the slab and then joints converting to copper that leads to the radiators?

    This will come out during investigation after new years but coming here looking for some hope lol.

    Pics of back boiler with two GB pipes going in and two copper pipes going up below, plus a pic of a random rad with copper going in.

    What's your question?

    Answer is who knows - possibly there's other gb throughout the system or maybe not.
