Vailant Ecomax: Inlet Valve Stuck

[Chestercopperpot]

So i need to re-pressurize my boiler. Done it once before with no problems but i think i did it back up too tight.

I dont want to force it too hard with the fear of breaking it.

Does the black leaver come off so i can use a spanner as i just cant get enough power in my grip to open it or any suggestions on how to budge it.

(you do open the leaver away from you right!!)

The lever will fall off if you force it , no problem a you can use some grips to open/shut the valves , there are two , one on the PRV and one on the back side of boiler , yes they do sieze.

Not sure which one is worse regards fil valves , ecomax or turbomax.

So you can pop the leaver off?

I'm sure a spanner will open it easy, its just the black leaver is so small i cant grip it enough
