Backfilling Worcester

[garash]

I am attempting to Backfill my Worcester Boiler using the Key. I push the key right up then turn to open. Then I turn the white plastic square nut at the side, anti- clockwise as instructed. Why am I getting water coming down/ out? instead of the filling up noise?. I know I am operating the Key and Nut correctly as I have double checked on You Tube.

If you are inserting the key properly,there must be something amiss ,seal missing maybe. Show us a pic of the key.

I am pushing it right up where the grooves become no longer visible

 

[terryplumb]

When you insert the key ,then turn it to lock in place,if you pull downward does the key come out ?

 

[garash]

Yes

 

[garash]

Here it is, in place

 

[terryplumb]

It should be locked in place once turned,and shouldn't pull out unless it's turned first. I don't think you are fully inserting the key.

Ok thanks but it really will not push up any further

 

[terryplumb]

Put the key in ,applying light upwards pressure ,whilst rotating the key. When the locating tabs line up inside the fitting ,it should go up a little further. At that point it will rotate a little to latch the tabs in place.

Thanks! All done now. It took a bit of pushing with my crooked arthritic fingers but was obvious it went right in when I heard it. I've left it in now, permanently!

Never be afraid to push it in all the way.
