FAQs
Where can I find the filling loop on my boiler?
The filling loop location varies depending on the boiler model. Refer to your boiler's user manual for the exact location. It's usually found near the water inlet pipes.
What should the water pressure be in my boiler?
Generally, the water pressure should be between 1 and 1.5 bar when the system is cold. Check your boiler's manual for specific recommendations.
Can I overfill my boiler with the filling link key?
Yes, it is possible. Overfilling can cause the pressure relief valve to release water. Always monitor the pressure gauge while filling.
What do I do if my boiler pressure keeps dropping?
This could indicate a leak in your system. Inspect your radiators, pipes, and boiler for leaks. Consult a qualified heating engineer if you find any.
Is this key a direct replacement for the alternative product 446183?
No, this is not a direct replacement. The alternative is 446183.
My boiler is showing an error code related to low pressure. Can this key fix it?
Yes, if the error is due to low water pressure, using this key to top up the pressure may resolve the issue. Check your boiler's manual for recommended pressure levels.
Troubleshooting
Boiler pressure won't increase.
Ensure the filling link key is fully inserted and properly engaged. Check for any obstructions or blockages in the filling loop. If the problem persists, consult a qualified heating engineer.

Check for leaks in your central heating system. Inspect radiators, pipes, and the boiler itself for any signs of water leakage.
