I’ve watched multiple videos and all seem to have two blue levers under the boiler. Mine only has 1 blue and black.

I need to bleed some radiators but don’t want to do it yet as I don’t know how to re-fill with these two levers.

One of the blue levers on far left is connected to the washing machine.


What is the middle silver flex pipe for?

can anyone help?
John

The valve you need is the black lever on the lft end of the shiny flexible pipe, open it and allow it to fill the system to the required pressure, the close it fully. The job is now done.
 
Hi
Looking at the gas supply pipe work, 15mm supply with a tee, appears to mean a 15mm gas supply feeding 2 appliances, ?

35kw boilers need a good supply of gas, and not have too much pressure drop when on hot water demand.

The thinking is .. a pan on a gas cooker, on low flame , and the boiler fires up on hot water, the pressure can drop, extinguish the cooker ? Leaving the uncontrolled gas escape, (if no flame failure on cooker)

Its the gas regulations, that’s all the comment was .

I did wonder if the gas supply was not to gas regs, be interesting to measure the pressure drop at the boiler , ?
When on hot water demand .
regards
 
Looks like a tee but I’m sure it’s just mortar line.
Probably still undersized though but working fine.

This is quite technical for me sorry I can’t input.

I bought the house it was like this. There are no gas appliances in the house. Stove is electric and oven.
We’ve not experienced any drop in demand when water, central heating on together.
