Filling Loop

[Tinkler]

Need to have a filling loop and gauge to monitor and control pressure down below as boiler will be in loft...is it possible to have one by the boiler (so repair/serviceman can use when needed) and one down below?...the boiler will have its own gauge just need a filling loop there. In order to have a setup below what would the configuration be regarding connections and components?...one installer is telling me that I need a second pressure vessel

then he is talking bo**ocks

you can put a remote gauge and loop anywhere on the system

within reason

Just bear in mind that the pressure shown on a gauge say 5 metres below the boiler will be 0.5 bar higher than on the boiler gauge.

It's a single storey so distance from boiler to gauge and fill loop will only be about 1.5 metres at most.

Aim is to tap off mains and tap of heating return and bring down wall in 15mm as all existing pipework below loft is in 10mm micro... is that all that needs doing connect one to the other using the loop?...where does the gauge go on the setup?
