Combi Boiler Filling loop

helpless.com

Hi all,

I need to repressurize my heating system as instructed by my combi boiler. Problem is, is that I can't find my filling loop.

Below the combi boiler is 3 valves. In my hot press are 3 round headed valves attached to copper and one flat headed valve attached to copper. No braided pipes to be seen.

Does anyone know where it may be?

the weird thing is is that the pressure gauge is on 1 which i thought should be fine

I tried some of the valves in the hot press to no avail

Not everyone uses braided hoses, so pics needed. You need to upload a few pics somewhere and put a link here. I am not sure if the prohibition on links for newbies still applies on boards, but if it does, use the word "dot" instead of "." to see if you can then post a link.

Above works.

Pressure on boiler looks about correct. However, some need to be a little higher.
Try the blue valve under the boiler. Turn it a little at a time to allow water pass through in a controlled way. If that works, then just reset the boiler and see if it works.

YES, that did the job. Pilot light is back on and the water is heating up. You're a star.

5 of those lights are now red though, is that normal after restarting it?

5 lights should be fine.
If the temperature control dial on the front of the boiler is the same as the picture all should be well.
Water pressure gauge should be approx 1.5 when hot and preferably not above 2.

Rightso all the red lights are gone. Pressure is sitting at a constant 1.5 but now when I put the water to heat I'm not getting any hot water, lukewarm at best.

The pilot light is now not coming on either. Any ideas gents?

How long did you leave the gas boiler on for?
Have you checked if room thermostats are turned up?
What type of time clock are you using and is it in the on position?
