filling loop lost

[chelseabhoy81]

I have a combination boiler and a pressure gauge which has dropped low now - reads just aobve 0.5 bar pressure. i need to top it back up again but have not got the filling loop. if i buy 1 from wickes or screwfix will it fit? is the size standard?

How long you had the combi? there must be some way of filling it already maybe under the sink?

Make and model may be an idea

Usually half inch silver braid flexi pipe, or some used washing machine pipe 3/4 inch

I filled it now and again over the years by connectin the filling loop to the 2 connection points under the boiler. But was told to remove it every time after filling. But have lost it!!!!!!

Washing machine hose? what do you mean? would that work for me?

Boiler: Baxi Solo HE

Because I read it as the OP didn't know how to fill it, and could be looking for something else.
