FTAO: Heating/Plumbing guru's

[leefer]

If i was you i would call them quickly mate.

They reckon it will be as low as 10 tonight.

 

[woolster]

When you coming to get your bag of plaster?

sorry mate, will deffo get it tomorrow, didnt get home untill 630

[Ginginho]

No worries mate, i'm going out around 7:30ish to play footie

[Don Rogers Shop]

This poor cunts girlfriend is freezing to death and you are discussing bags of plaster?

[Ginginho]

I thought the problem was solved earlier on in the thread with the jumper solution, sorry!

[Chubbs]

OK, so ive been fiddling and found the reset button, this seems to have given me hot water back, but still no heating and pressure is still 0. The radiators seem to sound as if there is water flowing through them, so will keep the heating on for a bit see if anything changes.

[Chubbs]

Heating is slowly comming back too, but pressure still showing 0. hmmmm.

[Ralphy]

Better get a hot water bottle out tonight Chubbs, sounds like it's fucked.

[Samdy Gray]

Probably an air lock in the heating system somewhere. Try bleeding all the other radiators.

[spacey]

What's happening now?! What's happening now?!

[Don Rogers Shop]

It's all gone off Spacey.Some poor bird has pheunomia scuppering chubbs plans of taking her back to poland and ginginho is selling plaster laced with smack.

Pretty sure there will be a low pressure cut off which may stop the boiler functioning when the heating is due on.

Putting water into the system to re-pressure is as easy as turning a tap on and off. On our Worcester Bosch one of the pipes going into it is the water fill pipe. Turn plastic valve on said pipe and it pressures up by putting water in, turn off when 1-1.5 bar. When heating is on pressure will rise slightly so don't over fill or you'll be bleeding the radiator again.

What boiler is it, we may be able to find the water inlet valve from an instruction manual!

[Arriba]

there should be a knob to put more water into the system, thus putting the pressure back up, watch the gauge and stop it around 1.5, the level must have been really low before you bled it

i take radiators off most days, its not uncommon for this to happen

for building the pressure up after bleeding the radiator the above is right.
there should be a tap(or 2 close together) underneath the boiler to do this.loosen the tap and watch the pressure rise then turn the tap off.
that doesn't solve the earlier problem which was mentioned earlier.your rads need balancing.
call a plumbing and heating engineer. i use gv hall.01793852477

i strongly suggest you do not bleed anymore radiators. and yes i can fucking read

Or the stat is stuck closed

[Arriba]

or as its summer the rads are rebelling against being turned on
