How to repressurise a boiler

Alicee

Hello,
So our boiler is coming up with an error (E119 - I think it's a baxi boiler? it doesn't say on it but saw a few similar ones of that brand when googling)

I know it needs filled up however we have 5 different valves and none seem to do anything when you move them about.

Does anyone know what I need to do to get the pressure up?

Below is a picture of what I'm dealing with. (not sure if it'll work but if you c/p the url itself it works)

Sorry, can't get the link to work, but often, there's a fill-in loop of braided pipe between two taps and both need to be turned on to fill up the boiler. (The loop is sometimes removed so look for 2 taps that are close together but have have nothing attached and buy/borrow a loop)

You're missing the braided filling loop Fit one and then re pressure with the two downward pointing valves - don't close any of the ones that are right underneath the boiler!!!

Will do the job. Take off the brass cap on the right and attach one end to the thread and nip up (do not overtighten), take the cap of the left had side valve and attach the other end of the new braided hose.
Open the right hand valve slowly and the sustem will re-pressurise.

Once up to pressure, close off both valves (horizontal tap) and then disconnect the new filling loop. The replace both the caps that you took off earlier.

Ohh okay, thank you very much

Will need to grab a filling loop from somewhere.

Have you looked on top of the boiler for you hose. A lot of boilers I see they've been put on the top.

Alicee, once you have fitted the filling loop, repressurised and closed the valves (don't forget this step) you can leave the loop attached. Then if you need to repressurise again you won't have to hunt for the loop.

Unless the cold feed isolator is letting by (which I suspect it is given that it has a cap fitted) which will eventually over pressurise the system.

Remove the hose and cap the valves.

Also water regs say it needs to be disconnected to stop possible water contamination.
