Filling loop with gauge

[Dan Masey]

Can't seem to fine any local suppliers that stock this type of filling loop. I want to fit a remote one in my airing cupboard as the boiler is in the loft. Anyone know of somewhere that may stock them....??

Hi Jan,

I can see where your coming from - in fact I have just what you want downstairs
in my workshop - later on I will go and get it and get the specification and post back.
PM me on here at centralheatking

I presume you are one of the 64% of combi owners in this country who experience
'pressure loss' and that is why you want a convenient visual check.

API 2006 (us lot) specialise in this problem and have a device WRAS app &
Patented etc which solves your problem - which you share with 64% of over 12m
combi boiler owners/operators in UK.

Dont think so diamond - there is a port on some non rtn valves which is threaded to take a pressure gauge - I have loads d/stairs when I have finished up here will go get it CHk

Btw if you are thinking a gauge fits in where the plastic cap is, it doesn't. That is the test point for the dc valve.

you will have to make something up to fit the valve, as in picture

Dont think so diamond -

I didn't read the ops post fully and you're right regards it not being suitable to accept a gauge. I'd do as Simon F says and fit a separate gauge after the loop personally

So what want doesn't actually exist?

You just need a fitting with a 1/4 inch bsp female to accept a gauge. I have made these up in the past using a tap but I am sure BES have them. I just need to justify the lathes to the wife.........
