Boiler pressure gauge at 0

[Naureen]

Hi there,
Wondering if anyone can help me with my boiler issue!

Two of the radiators weren’t working so I bled em out. Saw the gauge at the boiler it dropped to 0.

I tried to use valves at filling loop but the water started to come out from one of the valves. I closed it but now it’s dripping..

I must have done it all wrong!

Id really appreciate your help here!

They are a bit prone to leaking, I very much doubt you did anything to cause it. Replace the filling loop and all will be well

It wasn’t dripping before though! So I broke it when I opened / closed these valves?

how can I turn off water that is going to the boiler? To stop water dripping from filling loop valve?

How does one know filling loop needs to replaced?

They all leak they are cheap rubbish, wrap the valve with a cloth, open both valves till the guage reads1-1.5 Bar the close both valves and it will be fine

Just tried that! Pressure gauge needle not even moving a bit! Stays at 0

In your picture, it looks to me that one valve is open and one is shut. They both need to be open. They are open when the handle is in line with the pipe. In the picture, it looks like the boiler end is closed and the other end is open.

In the photo both are off.

If I turn the valve on the left regardless of valve on the right is open or close, Water comes out of valve on the left!

See if you can tighten the left hand hose end.

I tried with opening both! Water continues to come out of valve on the left, pressure gauge needle doesn’t move! Stays at 0

have you touched that valve ? it needs to be open and left open do not touch it

 

[Mottie]

Is anything loose - valve, hose?

Yes that worked but now how do I get the pressure up?

have you touched that valve ? it needs to be open and left open do not touch it

yes please see

All valves need to be in line to top up. When topped up, turn off both hose end valves. Do as Ian says with the gauge handle.

Are you saying, I need to open all three valves? Two at the filling loop and one near the gauge?
