Sure, the system is cold now so will reduce the pressure now. Thanks.

MANDATE, thanks for your post. The pressure seems to be holding. I'll lower the pressure to 1bar now and check again in the morning.

Ok Andytw, I see what you mean. I shouldn't have raised the pressure to 1.5bar

I have now re charged the expansion vessel to just under 1bar and refilled the boiler to 1.5bar. I then the heating on and the radiators heated up nicely. However, the pressure began to rise. It got up to and held at about 2.4 bar, just a the top of the green phone on the gauge. I have a...

Thanks for the info, ALCPlumbing. Just had a quick look at my gas meter and can only see copper pipe out from it. Can't see any barrel pipe capped off. The copper pipe enters through my front wall and then is routed straight up the wall and into the ceiling and I think it runs in the first floor...

Thanks for your reply. That's what I was thinking.

This is in my living room floor, located about 10 inches from my fireplace. The floor is concrete ground floor. I don't actually have a fireplace, just the empty space it used to be. So I'm assuming this is some gas valve for an old fireplace...?? I'm looking to change my carpet to wood...
