Can't repressurise boiler

[Ashley Taylor]

Hi all.

I've drain the water from the radiators so pressure is sitting at 0 but I can't find a value to increase the pressure.

I've attached some photos. Its an old combi boiler, Baxi Combi 80 eco.

Some help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m not a plumber but I’d guess you'd remove the two chrome caps (in picture 2) with the valves and connect those two together with a flexible pipe. Switch them off first - it looks like they are open. When connected, open one fully and then slowly open the other until the pressure gets to where you want it. Switch both off afterwards. You should remove the connecting hose and refit the caps but most people leave the pipe in place. I’m sure I’ll be corrected if I’m wrong though!

By the looks of it theres nothing there to do it

I managed to dig out the manual and you hit the nail on the head Motman. I wish I'd read your reply before taking the caps off ‍

Whatever you do don't remove any caps on the front of those isolating valves...you'll have water everywhere. The filling loop kit has not been fitted to the boiler...have a look elsewhere for the loop.

As @Gasguru says do not remove those caps, you will have an external filling loop somewhere, you will just have to follow the pipes to find it

By the sounds of it, it's too late. They'd already done it.
