Hi all,

Our boiler water pressure has dropped and I need to refill to get it to work again but the valve on the water inlet pipe is very odd and I can't find a tool or key to turn it.

Does anyone recognize this and know what and where I can get a key?

Any help, much appreciated.

Hex key will fit but will not fill your boiler.
You have been watching the wrong YouTube that was a combi.
You will have a external filling loop as others have stated.
Have you got an F22 ?
If so what you going to top it back up to?

That's it, they both go on untill it's between 1/1.5 bar then BOTH off again.
If the pressure dropped on its own then you've got another fault but topping up will get it running for now
 
Thanks for the advice all.

I was surprised to learn that those two taps were the filling loop. As you suggested, opening those has brought the pressure back up to normal range.

Much much appreciated we can have a hot shower again..

I will be getting someone out to do a service especially if they spot anything causing it to drop but I appreciate the help from everyone to get us up and working again.

Thanks

Take a quick look around your rads and pipework. See if there are any weeps or drips.

Hi all, Got a strange grating noise when the mains water is running in a property I'm looking after. It's a ground floor flat, with a first floor flat above it, and both share the same mains water pipe, and I believe the stopcock behind the washing machine isolates all water to both properties...

Hi,

 Our heating stopped working today. We've got a Veissmann boiler that's under a year old, and an older Megaflow cylinder, and two diverter valves (all about 10 years old). We also use a Hive thermostat.

 When I boost the hot water with Hive, the receiver near the boiler shows it's...
