Expansion vessel but no pressure gauge

VDFUser22 · 2023-11-20 16:24:13

I have an expansion vessel in my hot press but I can't find a pressure gauge near the boiler or near the vessel. It's not a combi boiler and there is only one storage tank for water in the attic. I've watched YouTube videos about how the system should be installed so this is unusual to me but most of the videos are UK…

I have an expansion vessel in my hot press but I can't find a pressure gauge near the boiler or near the vessel. It's not a combi boiler and there is only one storage tank for water in the attic. I've watched YouTube videos about how the system should be installed so this is unusual to me but most of the videos are UK plumbers so maybe it's different in the UK. Any advice on this? I was planning to drain down the system to fix a rad half hanging off the wall.

Also the immersion tank only has 3 pipes. One at top and then two near the bottom. The gas also heats the water so shouldn't there be 4? Flow, return, and then cold in and hot out?

You need to get a gauge fitted, so perhaps the fitter can explain your unusual cylinder piping.

Found the gauge. It was pointing up at the ceiling over the boiler near the mag cleaner.
