Any boiler experts in?

I have a worcester greenstar ri condensing boileer fitted. Recently i removed a rad in the kitchen while i decorated (had shitty wood look panels all over, including behind the rad) I have fitted the rad back on and bled it through but i need to know if the boiler tops its self up as i cant find any valves/gauges on the boiler. All the valves that are around it are already open. Ive had a look through the manual but there is nothing specific about this.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

The Ri is a regular boiler, so chances are its fed from a feed and expansion tank in the loft, meaning it should fill itself on gravity.

If its a Combi somewhere close to the boiler there will be a fill loop valve direct off mains water to fill the sealed heating system to keep it at correct pressure. If a normal boiler its fed from a tank in the loft normally.
Cheers,

The Ri isnt a Combi or a system boiler. Refit the rad, open the lockshield and wheelhead valves and bleed. The system will fill from the header tank in the loft.





If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!
