Baxi 105he Boiler Pressure

[crazyk69]

Hi
I had a new boiler fitted about 18 months ago. i have had to top it up because the pressure keeps dropping. i have found a couple of joints that weren't as tight as they should (Compression) so have tweaked them up. i am currently decorating the front room so took off three of the radiators, closing the TRV's and lockshield valves. Have since put them back on, the pressure drop is worse now as i need to top it up a lot more and recently the pressure went down to just above zero (I am in the Army so work away, wife didn't have heating/hot water etc), i told her how to top up. i know that there could be a problem with the expansion vessel. can anyone shed any light please.

Unlikely to have any problem with such a new boiler.

After draining any rads it will take a few days to stabilise and some bleeding and repressurising is needed.

Re pressurise to 1.5 bar and ensure wife checks it daily.

I have squaddy friend who has been in for a few years and served in all the lively places and now wants to leave and join us. hes never been promoted because he keeps being sent off somewhere exciting but says you have to be in the same place for a year to get promoted. Hes shown his assessments and they look quite good.

What Regiment are you in and what do you do?
