Do I need a Bypass Valve?

[rob8506]

Hi

Quick question is it worth retro fitting a bypass valve? and if so what would I set the pressure to?

Currently the system (Glowworm EP 60 F) has a gate valve on the bypass.

Thanks for the advice, I have a Honeywell auto bypass valve already will fit when I drain down to put DX 40 in.

Any tips on setting for this boiler?

I have no idea, I walways get the boiler running, turn off the control and open the valve till I feel it get warm.

this is probably wrong and there is probably a better more scientific way and I am sure one of the fine boyos on this here site will tell what it is
