FAQs
What is the purpose of the safety valve?
The safety valve is designed to release excess pressure in the system, preventing damage to the components.
How often should I check the pressure gauge?
It is recommended to check the pressure gauge at least once a month, or more frequently if you notice any changes in performance.
What should I do if the pressure gauge reads zero?
A zero reading may indicate a loss of pressure. Check for leaks and consult a professional if the problem persists.
How do I bleed the air from the system?
Locate the manual air vent on the kit and carefully open it to release trapped air. Close it once water starts to flow.
What size expansion vessel is compatible?
The kit is suitable for vessels from 2 to 25 liters, depending on wall and wall fixings.
Can I install this kit myself?
While the kit is designed for straightforward installation, some technical knowledge is required. Consider professional installation if you are unsure.
What if the safety valve is leaking?
If the safety valve is leaking, the system might be over-pressurized. Shut off the system, and call a qualified professional.
Troubleshooting

Check for blockages in the system and ensure the safety valve is functioning correctly. Consult a professional if the issue persists.
System is losing pressure.
Check for leaks in the pipework and connections. Inspect the expansion vessel for any damage. Check the valve seals.
Noisy heating system.
Bleed air from the system using the manual air vent. If the noise continues, consult a qualified technician.
