Combi pressure help if poss.

[Jono]

Ok fl4g71 I'll order that part and give it a go.

 

[Jono]

Part ordered, I'll be playing boilers this weekend

 

[Jono]

Right, boiler front off, identified blow off valve, drained water, can't see the small blue tap to drain off excess into bowl? Got some X100, through which point do I add it? :dunno:
Found the tap now, black on mine, sneaky bar stewards! Just the X100 question, where or thru which point to add it?

In to a rad or tail rail if you have one ........

 

[Jono]

Thanks, just turned on the boiler and it's leaking from the relief valve, guess I haven't seated it properly.

Now seated and all seems okay, no leaks and boiler is running. Just got to watch the pressure now, fingers crossed.

[Jono]

It's coming down after the initial rush of excitement when it leaked...a lot. If all is well by tomorrow with the boiler pressure, then mine will back to normal :-0)
Thanks @tu*

Sorry to hear this, but can you start a new thread to keep me informed.

I love a good plumbing thread.@tu*@tu*@tu*

An update for you Andy. Over the weekend since I fitted the new PRV ours has behaved itself and held pressure.
A huge thanks, mainly to Robsbird :bow: but to all who contributed @tu*.
You saved me ripping up the flooring needlessly h1d1ng2
If you think this is a boring thread.....try a leak or look elsewhere man8um

Great stuff, well chuffed for you. And I add my thanks to the two plumbers on here@tu*@tu* who are a never ending source of good advice for us enthusiastic amateurs who are keen to learn new stuff rather than call the experts in unnecessarily..

Jono, can I suggest weekly updates to start, we can see how it goes and then maybe move to monthly updates.

I am having anextension built shortly with an en suite and hopefully underfloor heating. Should be good thread material. ;-0))

Wast of time and money doing wet under floor heating inless the rest of the house has it or you fit a second boiler to run just the under floor
