Tribune he no pressure

[levyshane]

Hi all.

Long story short, I had a kitchen tap replaced and since then I've had no heating on the top floor and I'm showing no pressure in the expansion vessel.

Any idea how to repressurise from the pictures below? I've had a play around but with my limited knowledge I'm clueless

In some cases it needs special equipment, had this with father-in-laws house with solar panels, there was no way to pressure from mains water as flow was required to ensure no air lock at apex of roof.

However often there is a removable pipe, and a pair of taps, and you fit pipe, and slowly turn on taps until pressure is reached then off again, in my case I have left pipe in place, and only turn tapes on/off, idea is once pipe is removed you can't get contamination into drinking water supply.

However I can not follow the pictures and see exactly what you have, but would start by looking at that flexible pipe.

Thanks for the reply. A few more pictures attached. If I'm correct the black tap is the cold water feed and I'd need to connect a pipe from there to somewhere?

The valves circled are the filling loop, there should be a silver braided pipe that goes between the valves, you need to unscrew the brass caps and fit the braided pipe.

Perfect. Just what I thought. Thanks for your help.

Now I just need to go get a braided pipe!
