Question:

re-pressurize my boiler?

How can I re-pressurize my Heatline compact boiler. There are many valves and am not sure which one to use

Answer:

What you do is, the one with the pet-cock valve (or water tap), is the one that you bleed the air out of the boiler itself... When water comes out and quits spitting air, then your ready to bleed the top lines or radiators. Then, you go on the very top line... (if you have a second floor, you start there) and get the radiator that is the highest, and bleed all the air out of there.. The air, once you turn on the circulating pump, will go to the highest place...thats where you bleed the line. (Some people have bleeders installed, while others have bleeders on thier radiators and you have to have a key to do that on certain ones). Your boiler should have an automatic valve for the water to go into the boiler, all you have to do is bleed all the air out of it... I wish you well.. Jesse
go to the relief valve ( the one that's on the side of the tank and it should say what it is , and pull on it for about 30 seconds - 1 minute and this should get rid of the condensation that's restricting your water flow . good luck .
You should have a good working understanding of your system before you do anything. It will be worth your money to find and pay someone to help you. You can ask a lot of questions and do it your self next time. If you have say a munchkin boiler do a google search and find a dealer that installs them. You are dealing with pressure, water and air not a good thing. It is great heat when working properly.
