Re-presurising boiler not working

[surfer-rich]

Hi, hope someone can help?
After bleeding radiators I need to re-pressurise, I have tried fully opening both taps on the loop but nothing happens! The taps I'm referring to are circled in red on the picture. Any ideas or I doing something wrong? Thanks, Rich

I am pretty sure turn one black knob one way and the other one, the opposite way , do it slowly , you should hear the water .

unless they buggered

They both open anti clockwise as you look at them face on unless they are buggered.

 

[DGT plumbing]

Oh yeah, make sure you turn them off properly afterwards.

 

[surfer-rich]

ok, thanks, I've tried every combination of on/off & no luck...must be buggered

If they turn roughly ther probably worn but they don’t look like they’ve had much use. Try turning the right one toward you and the left one away from you

So the connection between the mains cold and central heating is permenant looking at this picture. Is this correct ?

Yes reman ent connection

 

[surfer-rich]

yes, i believe the mains is permanent but i'm no plumber my self so not sure, could it be that there's another tap for the main feed that needs turning on (possibly elsewhere from the picture)? I'm definitely turning those black knobs the correct way, thanks

 

[surfer-rich]

Sorted now, there was another tap on the feed that someone had turned off! Thanks to all that responded.

Though so well done and thank you for reporting back it gives us all closure

A fixed and permenant connection between the heating system and potable is illegal under wras , so how does this arrangement be allowed

The link in between the two tap heads can be removed but I very much doubt that anyone ever does and if they do they'll never find it again, it's in the same place as the fitting and service manual.

Same as a normal filling loop then. I remove and cap externals on a service. Then on the service next year, guess what?
