    Annual Vaillant boiler F.75 error

    Milleniumaire, the likely correct long term solution to your regular problem is to install an external expansion vessel. The 637 is a very powerful boiler with a small vessel, and unless you have a small system (and the boiler is therefore overpowered for your needs), it is likely that the...

    "The Vent" ???

    All we really need is a forum where only Dan, Steel, Puller and Dilalio are allowed to post. Then ban them from the plumbing forum. Then the rest of the DIY newbies can post stupid questions without being insulted.

    Cast iron rad
