Hi again Myser,
Thanks so much for your posts and reassurance. Yes, I definitely closed both taps. The gauge has stopped rising now, it just panicked me as it is now about a quarter beneath the red zone and I wasn't planning for it to be that close.... hey ho. The manual does say there is a built in safety release thing so hopefully it will use that if it needs to...
Thank you so much for your time and advice, it's much appreciated - and I'll certainly check about for leaks anyway just to be on the safe side.0 -
modern boilers have lots of safety devices. pressure too low or too high and it locks out.
if the pressure rises very high a relief valve opens. PRV. thats the funny pipe you see on the outside wall.Get some gorm.0
