    What would happen when your topping it up and got distracted or called away and it kept filling.

    Water would come out of your pressure relief valve. Assuming you had enough water pressure and valve was working.

    Please follow site and charter rules. "Resistance is futile"

    So the valve wouldn't auto close when pressure reached say 3bar, it just keeps over flowing.

    Does the prv usually have a discharge pipe to the outside.

    cheers

    No, a straight filling loop is just a starlit ball valve with a double check valve, so open is 'open'
    Auto filling valves, may be preset to stop at a giving set pressure.

    Yes the PRV 'should' be piped externally (to a safe location, determined as outside)
