I already know that, but it was installed before my time here.

So you've had the plumber back, but you still don't have a fill loop?

This post reminds me of three monkeys, only there is a slight deviation of theme

One monkey with hands on ears hears no evil. Poster wants info but only what he wants to hear
Speak no evil. Poster speaks volumes
See no evil. Poster fails to see fact either. Filling loop MUST be there, how else is the boiler to be pressurised

6 pages of accusations and suspicions, negativity and belief TV programmes he speaks of are factual

OP: You said you were away on business? What business would that be? I would like to spend an hour with you discussing trhe possibility of placing a £250 order, most of which is overhead.

Apparently so, I don't have a filling loop connected directly to the cold water inlet valve part itself. However I do have a loop which goes from the middle of that cold water pipe, attached just above a tube marked "SESI", then looping across to another pipe. I'm assuming that's not the filling loop (based on the engineer saying "there is no filling loop") but then again, what is that thing if it isn't the filling loop?

Lol.. Lots of TV programmes are factual - not everything on TV is in the genre of "fiction". Have you ever seen The Living Planet with David Attenborough for example?

Hmmm, by inference you're saying that Rogue Traders is some sort of fictionalized Eastenders-style soap? Well, guess again..

Auditioning for the Rogue Traders soap opera.

So there must now be five monkeys!

The extra ones being:

Monkey number 4 with just ONE ear covered, the other ear listening to just what he wants to hear.

Monkey number 5 with his mouth uncovered speaking those volumes of evil!




A sixth monkey is in the background wondering just how this boiler is repressurised if there is no filling loop!

Can we have a photo?

Probably not, my internal SD card reader is down so I can't transfer across from the camera without hassle.

But it looks like a filling loop, just not sure why the engineer would say there is none. Maybe he was talking about a loop going specifically from the valve itself because this loop is going from the pipe as I described.

It looks similar to this filling loop:

The existence of a secondary filling loop on the pipework doesn't change the fact that the boiler's built in filling loop is missing. Did your plumber fit something to the back of the service valve that was changed? NRV & blank maybe? If not you will get very wet if it gets turned. I guess he didn't fit the grey plastic tap that goes on the valve?

The plumber did show me that there was an NRV attached to the newly-replaced cold water inlet valve, and compared it with the original valve which didn't have an NRV attached.

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!

No.
