Snapped filling loop tap

[Gilthoras]

Hi all. One of the filling loop taps has snapped off. I think the main black one is still attached, but an additional blue one has come away. Wondering what I should do? Should I be replacing the filling loop or can I get away with just tightening the additional valve tap by hand? The appears to be a little screw that turns...

Get a pair of pliers/grips on it.

You can operate the valve spindle with a spanner. The screw only holds the plastic handle in place.

It is just a plastic handle to provide leverage, they snap off all the time. As said just use pliers when you need to turn it off/on.

Rather than pliers I'd suggest a spanner (fixed or adjustable) as pliers might end up rounding the valve off if you're not careful.
