    Hello, anyone know where I might get my hands on one of these in a hurry?
    http://www.advancedwater.co.uk/prod-140-188-0002.html
    Washing machine decided to wobble about the place tonight on spin and smashed the existing one.
    Is it the kind of thing that would be available in any builder's providers or heating supplies shop or is it more specialised?

    They are available in most plumbers providers. 0-4bar back inlet as per picture or bottom inlet also available.

    Bear in mind that once you take this off the pressure of the system will need to be dropped depending on where it is.

    Thanks, Joey.
    It's under the cabinet where the gas boiler is. There's a 3/4" pipe coming from the boiler pump and it is teed when it comes out of the pump with both branches heading for the rest of the house; one branch has a handle valve to isolate it from the rest of the house, the other doesn't but has a 1/2" pipe teed off it and one of these http://www.advancedwater.co.uk/prod-140-468-0701.html on it. The meter in question is on that relief valve. The pipes carry hot water when the boiler's active.

    Hope that makes sense.
    I'm guessing that when I take off this meter, there'll be a nice spray of water to accompany it. Is that right?
    How would I go about correcting the pressure in the system again like you said?

    I'm sure there's some way to drain or otherwise isolate the system but it wasn't obvious so...
    A faceful of water later the new gauge is in place and is reading about 0.7 bar, which is too low, I believe. How do I top up the pressure? There's an expansion vessel in the hotpress, if that's relevant.
    I did do a search for "pressure" and "repressurise" in this forum but I'm none the wiser.
