FAQs
Who should install the filling loop?
A certified Gas Safe engineer should install the filling loop to ensure safety and compliance.
How do I know if my boiler needs the filling loop?
If your boiler displays a low-pressure error, or the pressure gauge reads below the recommended level, you may need to use the filling loop. Consult your boiler manual.
How often should the filling loop be used?
Use the filling loop only when the system pressure is low. Avoid frequent use unless there is an underlying issue that needs to be addressed by a professional.
What should I do if the filling loop is leaking?
Turn off the water supply to the filling loop and contact a Gas Safe engineer immediately.
What are the water regulations regarding filling loops?
Water regulations require the filling loop (especially external loops) to be removed after use. The filling loop must have a check valve or a backflow prevention device fitted.
Can I install the filling loop myself?
No. Installation must be carried out by a certified Gas Safe engineer to comply with safety regulations.
How do I know the correct pressure for my boiler?
Consult your boiler's manual or contact a Gas Safe engineer for the recommended pressure level.
What if the pressure in my system is too high?
Contact a Gas Safe engineer to resolve the issue as high pressure can damage your boiler.
Troubleshooting
Boiler pressure continues to drop.
Contact a Gas Safe engineer to inspect for leaks in the heating system or a faulty filling loop.

Turn off the water supply to the loop and contact a Gas Safe engineer to replace or repair the loop.
