Where is the filling loop on my worcester boiler?

Tommy Curtis, January 2010

I have had no filling loop on my boiler for 4 weeks and have had the pressure on 3 and this has resulted in my pipes bursting is this usual?

top answer from eddie - follow those instructions and you will be fine.

and if you google "worcester boiler charging key" it should throw up some ebay pages - where you can buy the keys if your boiler does not have a key attached to the underside.

As Eddie says "pat yerself on the back for a job well done!"

dont think worcester bosch have the old style filling loop of old but ive cut and pasted a previous answer i gave - the location of what u need to use to charge up sys are on the underside of the boiler but you have to slide/unclip the underside plastic cover on the bottom of boiler where u will find the magic key

I have the greenstar junior 24 -if it is similar the steps are as follows:
Make sure you push the key fully up and turn slightly until you feel that you have engaged correctly - note you can only turn the key a maximum of say a quarter of a turn - what you then need to do is to turn the square white plastic 'thingy' that is next to the key - hey presto - you'll hear water then charging the system!(Unless plumber installed a shut off valve within the supply line outside of boiler).
keep an eye on the level as you fill the system - when upto level turn the square thingy to stop charging the system - turn the key that quarter of a turn and pull out - put things back as they should be and pat yerself on the back for a job well done!
