Hello forum members,
First time posting here, so please bear with me.
My problem: I have removed three radiators to decorate behind them (they are still off at the moment). I have zero pressure on my Vaillant Thermocompact boiler. I have read I need to top up the system to get the pressure back to 1/1.5. After finding the filling loop situated in the airing cupboard next to the hot cylinder tank, I cannot see how to fill up the system. From the two photos of my filling loop, it has only one valve that I can turn with a flat head screw driver. It is the ballafix isolating valve type as I can tell. This did nothing. I could not hear water passing through. Posts have mentioned turning on two valves to let the water in. I only have one as far as I can tell. The valve furthest back has no valve, tap or anything for me to turn.
Also, do I need to put the radiators back on before refilling the system?
Any help and advise would be much appreciated.
