This guide is for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable filling loop for water systems. Its key benefit is ensuring compliance with water regulations while providing easy isolation. A potential caveat is the specific 15mm compression fitting, requiring accurate system matching.

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) Approval means the product has been examined and tested by WRAS and complies with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 in England and Wales, or the Water Byelaws 2014 in Scotland. This ensures it will not waste, misuse, or contaminate water.
The double check valve prevents the backflow of water from the heating system into the mains potable water supply. This is a crucial safety feature to avoid contamination.
This filling loop is specifically designed with a 15mm compression fitting. It is not suitable for direct connection to other pipe sizes without appropriate adaptors, which are not included.
The braided hose included with this filling loop is 40cm in length.
The product weighs approximately 0.79 pounds (0.36 kg).
Installation involves standard plumbing compression fittings. If you are experienced with basic plumbing, it should be straightforward. However, if you are unsure, it is always recommended to hire a qualified professional.
Part L of the Building Regulations relates to the conservation of fuel and power. Compliance ensures that the installed system contributes to energy efficiency, often related to preventing heat loss or ensuring proper system operation.
Ensure the olive is correctly seated and the compression nut is tightened sufficiently. Check that the pipe end is clean and not damaged. If the problem persists, consider replacing the olive.
The double check valve may be faulty or obstructed. Attempt to flush the valve by briefly opening and closing the lever. If the issue persists, the valve may need replacement.
Verify that the existing pipework is indeed 15mm. Ensure the pipe end is clean, round, and free from burrs. Gentle dressing of the pipe end may be required.
Check for any kinks or obstructions in the braided hose. Ensure the isolation lever is fully open. Inspect the double check valve for any debris that might be impeding flow.
