Worcester 28I RSF Re-pressurising

[craig13]

I've recently bled my radiators and since then have lost all pressure on the boiler. I've read all the other posts about needing to re-pressure the boiler with a plastic key but i am not even able to find the pipe/valve to do this..


This is the post for someone with a similar problem but i can't seem to see anything referred to in it. Anyone any other ideas??

''Look under the boiler on the right hand side and you should see a black open ended pipe with 2 symbols on it (the pipe will be pointing at the floor). An open padlock and a locked padlock. This is the pipe that you put the key into. push the key into the pipe till you feel resistance or it stops. Turn the key to the left (quarter turn) and then push fully home into the pipe. When the key is fully home, turn it to the right (quarter turn).
Once you have done that you are ready to pressurise the system. To the right of where the key is there should be a black plastic nut. Turn this anticlockwise and you will hear the water flow and the pressure gauge should begin to rise. Pressure it to just over 1bar and then close the nut and remove the key (reverse procedure) and hey presto, your system is pressured. Hope this helps, if yours is the same as mine, it will.''


Thanks in advance for your help.

look in faqs, wiki central htg fix and tips, and plumbing fix and tips

there is a detailed description in one of them including pictures for re pressurising Worcesters

I've looked through that and nothing in it seems to apply to mine from what i can see. Is there any way things could be set up differently?

have you looked at this

or do you have a white filling key that you have to fit?

Thanks so much, that's exactly what was needed. I've been peering up into the boiler for the past few hours trying to find a hole for the key!!

Thanks again
