Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the system to cool. High pressure can cause hot water discharge.
- Check gauge: Confirm the current pressure reading. Anything significantly above the recommended maximum (often 2.5–3.0 bar) indicates excessive pressure.
- Release pressure: Bleed a small amount of water from a radiator bleed valve or a drain point into a container until the pressure returns to normal.
- Check filling loop: Ensure both filling loop valves are fully closed, and the hose is removed if required by local regulations.
- Expansion vessel check: If the pressure rises sharply when heating, the expansion vessel may be flat or have failed. A technician should test, recharge, or replace it.
