Changing CH Pressure Gauge

[brianj42]

Hi All

I have to change the 4bar pressure gauge on the oil boiler. Thing is the house has 26 radiators and I really don't want to empty the whole system. I don't mind water spillage as its in the boiler room.

Can I just de-pressurize the system and do a quick change ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, just make sure the gauge connection is the same as your existing one. Some fitted to Worcster are a different size to most others. Wrap the thread with several turns of PTFE to ensure a good seal in the position you want.
