Pressure Vessel recharging Baxi 105e

[Chrisneedshelp]

Can anyone tell me where the schroeder valve is on the pressure vessel/storage tank on this 105e, its fitted in a very restricted space so the "angle of attack" would come in dead handy.....

Big beer for help!

Usually located at the back of the boiler, access from the top. Use a mirror to locate valve, then it may be a case of skinned knuckles, so send the kids out of the room
Don't forget to isolate the boiler from the heating pipes at both flow & return, and drain all pressure from the boiler before measuring exp. vessel pressure. Continue to drain boiler if you add air to prevent hydraulic pressure build-up until final air pressure is achieved.
