Hello,

I have a boile as described in the Subject, I don't know how to fill it
with pressure; I don't see any valve for that below. I don't have any
doc abt that. I don't want to call an installer for that.
The boiler is maybe 10 yrs;

If someone knows abt that please give me very very accurate description
abt how to pop in. The boiler is in a place that I can't easily acces,
I have to use a mirror to look below it, coz it is very close to the
floor.


Thanks

It's more a function of the particular installation than the boiler
itself - maybe you have to engage brain and look a little harder

Thanks for that link;

As for the boiler I found a knob (red) which access to is very tricky,
I'm not sure this is to fill the system; i tried to turn it a bit and
noticed that it was getting hot. In fact the valve is connected to an
earth coming pipe and the other gate of the valve is connected to the
main heaters network pipe in which flows the heated water ( i.e. not
the return water from heaters).

does someone know abt this boiler?
In my room temperature is 13°;

That sounds like it could be your boilers over pressure blow off valve -
you don't want to go fiddling with that.

What is an "earth coming pipe"?

You could probably download the manual for it from the gloworm web site.

Sounds a bit chilly.

Note that many boilers don't have a filling loop built in. So don't
necessarily expect to find anything to do with filling the system on the
boiler itself (perhaps except a pressure gauge). It is usualyl something
extra that the installer adds to the pipework of the system when it is
installed. It ought to be near the boiler - but might not be.

Might look like:

(the hose should be removed when it is not in use - so you could just be
looking for a couple of vavles)

I know we can fill it;
the landlord of this house comes sometime to fill it; he does it with
hands only; no use of any tool;
I think the red knob I found is the right one but I don't understand
why the hot water come when turning it; since it is to fill under
pressure the system only the cold water should flow;
