Brrrrrr!!! Re-pressurise problem

JLT_3

After being a bit clever and bleeding radiators in new house I'm now unable to find the taps/valves to repressurise the boiler.

It's a combi boiler system and looks to have been fitted say 10ish years ago. Any ideas where these might be located? I've looked directly under the boiler but can't see them. Boiler makes horrible banging noises if turned on.

Should be a flexi type hose with a valve to lift the preasure to about
1 bar on preasure guage.Dont forget to shut boiler down first.

Some combi boilers could have inbuilt filling systems, such as the Worcester Bosch cdi range. These are difficult to explain without knowing which boiler you have.
What make and model boiler do you have ?

A lot of other boilers require a filling loop to be attached as described previously.
We need a bit more info to help you.

it's a valliant, not sure which one though...

Thats it give him some confidence in what he is doing!!!! LOL

Find the model number and ring them up. Order a manual too.

all the manuals are available online. I was hoping JLT might find a number from a badge plate or somewhere, so I could send over the manual.

my valliant fill valve is underneath the boiler to the right hand side at the front, there are 2 holes in a grill underneath and it is the second one in. There should be a small key that operates this, L shaped with valliant on it but the bit that slots in is the same as a smallish normal screwdriver so a screwdriver should turn it and let the water in to raise the pressure for you

by the boiler if you have a flexable hose type pipe it should have a screw (set in a horizontal position) turn this to vertical position using a screwdriver and you should hear the pipes filling. If you dont have this then your is the other type and you have to do it from underneath as mentioned above.
