Mend Glow-worm 80E Glow Worm Flue Boiler

how do i pressurise my glow worm 80e fanned flue combination boiler?

we were draining the radiators by the valves when the bolier started to make a funny noise, the pressure gague had dropped and the ignition turned off - how do we pressurise the boiler to reignite it? It is a glow worm compact 80e fanned flue combination boiler.

Heh, THANKS Kev. Within 5mins of getting on the Web I found this forum+your answer; located my DW IN valve (replacement below the boiler, the original had had its lugs knocked off, eek)
- turned it on and up came the water pressure to 1.5! Just whad to bleed a little air from the radiators and Bingo - sorted! Thanks to both Chris and Kev for posting question and reply. You probably just saved me a whole lot of hassle, frozen pipes, cold toes and engineer fees.Hope you got yours fixed too Chris.

if it is just a matter of re-filling the tank you need to find the valve on the "main cold water in pipe "which is usually a flat slot-head screw on the cold water pipe coupling.
on my system i have to remove the cover for the pipes which go up to the boiler then turn the screw and you will hear the boiler filling,you'll also notice the pressure guage rising but dont let it rise above 0.5
turn the screw back to stop the water flow when the pressure is ok. be carefull not to damage the screw on the coupling,its brass and easily damaged,,use the correct size screwdriver.hope this helps
