How to find boiler filling loop?
An external filling loop can be located anywhere on the central heating circuit which gives it great location flexibility. In many instances the filling loop will be located on the pipework within 1 meter of the boiler.
Do the boiler need to be off to Repressurise?
It’s important to switch your boiler off before re-pressurising it. If possible, let it cool down for 4 to 6 hours.

Full written summary can be viewed here http://www.newave-education.co.uk/cas… Your combi boiler will require a certain amount of pressure in the system to work correctly which is around 1 and 1.5 bar. Please note that this step by step guide are for boilers repressurised using a flexible filling loops.
How does a flexible watertube boiler work?
The Flexible Watertube Boiler is a five-pass steel boiler with flexible tubes formed and arranged to direct the flow of combustion gases through the boiler.
