Hi there,

I've been having a few problems with my boiler (Vokera 20-80 RS Flowmatic), as we are able to get central hearing but we have no hot water. The water pressure dial is sitting at just about 0.5, so as I faced this problem in my previous home I was able to fix it by turning a valve underneath the boiler. I just can't seem to find the valve on this one! I've tried all of the valves underneath in the hope that it might be there but nothing seems to do it.

I have uploaded a picture of all of the valves underneath the boiler so perhaps it'll be easier to solve. The valves also have a strip at the back naming certain parts, so I'll just list it as it from left to right -

Return Safety Valve (In Front of Heating Return)
Heating
Flow
Gas Inlet
Hot Water
Cold water

Thank you very much in advance for help!

There should be a loop from the cold water inlet on the extreme right to the pipe marked Flow, from below the tap visible in the picture. The loop should have a tap too. I think at one time these filling loops had to be removed, so perhaps this why you can't find it! I suppose it might exist elsewhere, perhaps in a more accessible place

Looked at your picture and the filling loop is not there.
Chances are it is further down the pipework and should be connected between the cold water inlet and the c/h return.

Have now found it!

It was hiding behind the cutlery drawer underneath the counter!
