Hello.
Today I have installed a new radiator upstairs. A little bit bigger so I had to make new pipe work.
Before that I flushed as much water from heating system as I could. Only one leg (3 legs downstairs) had valve which allowed me to flush water from radiators upstars, all of them. Only 3 radiators downstairs were still full.
Problem appear when I noticed that boiler is still showing 0.5b pressure
Day before it was normal 1.2B before removing radiator. After I removed radiator one of the radiator valve was faulty and was spitting water everytime boiler stopped heating water for taps. Wasnt spitting much but enough for boiler to drop preasure. I fixed it quickly. And at the end of the day presure was 1B. Next day I saw it to be 0.5B. So I started emptying system and even when I couldnt get more water out preasure was still 0.5B.
When fitting new radiator was done I started refilling system with a key. I filled every radiator and got all air out. I kept on putting more water into the system but pressure gauge as still 0.5B and havent moved a bit. I am affraid to put any more water as I am not sure what will happen if pressure gauge is faulty or stuck but when I tap it with fingers it does wiggle arround so I dont think it is stuck.
I started boiler but only to see if hot water will work. The DHW was lit and burner light was lit for very short time and then went off. No hot water was delivered. I read in manual that it might be because of low water preassure level, but I am affraid to put more into the system. 😀
Do you guys think that preasure gauge needs replacing?
