VAILLANT ECOTEC VUW PRO 24 28 EXPANSION VESSEL 181051

Product Information

If it is below 1 bar, you should top the pressure up. If you have to keep topping the pressure up, you have a problem that needs to be fixed. This is most likely an expansion vessel problem, if so, you will need to recharge it or replace the expansion vessel if the diaphragm inside is split. This means the expansion vessel on the Vaillant boiler might not be big enough and can cause problems with the pressure.

Compatible with aroTHERM air-to-water heat pump hybrid system - Making the perfect entry into renewable systems Open a drain-off valve on the Vaillant boiler or central heating system with a hose attached and let the pressure drop.The pressure rises when the heating is on, so you will not get the proper reading until it has cooled down. They do have manual pressure gauges also but they are useless to most people as they don’t have any numbers on them. Vaillant boiler pressure gauge

If you have another brand of boiler and not a Vaillant, there?s a chance that recharging the expansion vessel may not fix the problem because the vessel has split internally. If this is the case, you would need to replace the expansion vessel, not just recharge it. This almost never happens on Vaillant boilers though. Faulty Filling Loop Letting By There should be one of these types of boiler filling loops under your Vaillant combi boiler, if not then it will be an external filling loop. Vaillant boiler filling loop closed What I have learned and understand so far is that there should be a release of air from the valve when activated when the boiler is switched on or off.

If the pressure gauge is reading zero (or close to zero) your boiler needs to be repressurised to get it working. This is a common fault on Vaillant Ecotec boilers and is caused by the expansion vessel losing its charge. If the pressure drops, it means the water is getting out which should not be happening. Low pressure on a Vaillant boiler If the bag is dry after your Vaillant boiler loses pressure overnight you must have a leak on the central heating system which will need to be found and fixed. If the expansion vessel diaphragm is faulty when the air valve is engaged then water should/will come out?

Total system solution available from one manufacturer – Intelligent controls and accessories availableThis is usually below the boiler but there could be an external flexible filling loop anywhere on the system, sometimes hidden away in cupboards or behind boxing.

To find out which it is, you can tie a carrier bag to the end of the copper blow-off pipe outside. Boiler blow-off pipe You might bet a Vaillant F83 fault code on some boilers when the pressure is too low. Expansion Vessel Problems Having the boiler pressure too high (above 1.5 when the system is cold), means you will need to let some pressure (water) out of the system.
