Baxi - Replenishing Pressure

[burton1]

I have just takn a radiator aff to decorate and reinstalled. As a result the pressure in the Central heating system has dropped. I have looked at the manual but not clear how to increase the pressure.

Any guidance on what to do appreciated. Can't beleive that it is not straight forward as this is a basic task!!! Apologies not of plumbing background

Thanks

look for a flexi metal mesh hose near the boiler or expansion vessel

is it combi or system?

 

[burton1]

Sorry - it is a combi. Will look for flex hose

i meant what one also.. some have an integral filler.. if its not integral its usually very close by... sometime with a black knob sometimes with a slotted ....erm thingy

It is a Baxi 105e and doesn't appear to have flexi hose! it has taps underneath inlet \ heating returns but not sure I should be touching them!!!

look in the FAQ

Checked all the manuals I have and nothing on this. Talks about filling the system initially using temporary hose!

Is this usually a job that Plumber needs to be called on.

Is this usually a job that Plumber needs to be called on.

In your case, I think this would be wise

hold up....if you can identify the cold water inlet(15mm usually) follow it back from the boiler.. you may get lucky... or post a pic
