no pressure on boiler after replacing a radiator

[goonerwin]

hi,
I replaced radiator and now the pressure is at zero on the boiler, think I have a sealed system I have tried to refill the system but no water is going in.

You have no tanks in the loft ? If so you should have a braided hose under the boiler or in the airing cupboard. Both taps need to be inline with the pipes rather than perpendicular to it for them to be open and water to enter. You will hear the movement of the water once it starts working. Or your pressure guage is faulty.

What boiler do you have , some as above have a external filling point, others are what is called built in , this you will find under the boiler, look in boiler user instructions it will tell you, But letting us know what boiler you have will help.

Hi its a Worchester SBI15, there is a fixed pipe beneath the boiler with a tap to refill the system, I have turned the tap on but the pressure remains at zero and I cannot hear any water going into the system. I have bled all of the radiators apart from one as the bleed valve is worn and cannot turn it.

Is this the large white key ? if so next to it will be a small squire plastic piece that is what turns on the water

 

[goonerwin]

no, the tap is attached to a fixed copper pipe which I think is directly fed from the mains

the same boiler but I have checked and there is no key and the water is fed directly into the boiler from pipe with tap

Ok the brass tap is the mains water , under the boiler you can see the small grey tap the larger black plastic hole need a white key (plastic) that's fits in this slot twists and locks in then you open the small grey tap to fill system, if you don't have key, go to local boiler spares and buy one Proberly around £10.
