I have a Baxi Solo 15E boiler. Today I drained down the system to fit two new TRV's. I have refilled the system but the boiler is locking out after attempting to start. I suspect that the boiler has an air lock.
Any suggestions on how to solve this appreciated.
Regards
Peter

What would be the best way to bed down a plastic type frame for a manhole cover frame. The frame is rectangular with rebates to allow the cover to sit in. I did consider a good bed of mastic sealant, but am not sure if this would work. There are no fixings or brackets on the frame.

Hi, When my boiler first fires up in the early morning the header tank overflows. After a while it does stop but I cannot understand why. One clue may be that a few weeks ago I had to drain diwn the system to fit a new valve to a towel rail and this problem has only started since then. Is there a co...

Plumbbob, Thanks for your reply, do you happen to know exactly how the RCM works? I understood that the flow switch on the pump has to detect water movement to initiate the pump. If the basin tap upstairs is turned on how can this happen unless the RCM incorperates a check valve to hold pressure in ...
