Hot water low pressure after Diverter Valve replacement

[picasso]

Would that be clased as ironic ? tony going on about following the regs and then getting it wrong.

To comply with Water Regulations the separate filling loop should have two shut off valves.

One at each end and normally the heating circuit end has one incorporated in the non return valve!

The filling loop attached to the pipework enables the bar to be increased on the pressure gauge.

So that's what it is for.

Right, I fixed my SD card reader.

So a picture of a non complient filling loop then as far as I can see.

Sorry, but that's NOT a new cold isolation valve on the boiler. If he's gone to the trouble of replacing the NRV, then where is the rest of the in-built filling loop?

It's not new, it's a second hand one that he found in his van after searching for a while. He had to make a few modifications to it with the NRV and an accurately-sized rubber washer.

The original installers of the boiler appear to have been a bunch of cowboys. When I opened it up a few weeks ago, after the original leak started, there were 3 nuts and bolts just left inside the base of the boiler.

No you promise to be a pompous git regardless of whether you know more or not
