inflating expansion vessels

[apcdave]

Had a devil of a time trying to pump one up using a bicycle pump - is there an automatic pump anyone would recommend? handy but not too pricey??

many thanks

Car foot pump with extra long hose on it.

I have a Regin pump and an angled valve adaptor and it works great. The main problem is getting access to the expansion vessel!

dont get the silverline one they are useless. I got one and it had a double head i had to modify it to use the stupid thing.

I've got a mitchelin foot pump, comes with a really long hose and a lot easier to pump using your leg!

can never get my leg on top of the combi though, is I doing it right?

Ditto. Was told it was the Regin one (which I asked for!) Came wrapped in bubble wrap and was told someone had ordered it but never came in for it. Absolute shiite, 2nd use, the valve attacment broke, Regin everytime (Cue the freebies Mr Regin rep!!)

and you can pop 200+ bar into your expansion vessel if you cock it up!
