Filling Links

Filling Links for Boilers are essential plumbing components that connect the mains water supply to a central heating system, allowing safe and controlled filling or topping up of the boiler and system.

About Filling Links for Boilers

Filling links provide a secure and reliable connection between the mains water supply and a central heating system, often including integral check valves to prevent backflow. They are designed to allow users or engineers to fill, top up, or pressurise the heating system efficiently. Available in various configurations, sizes, and materials, filling links are compatible with most boiler types and central heating systems, ensuring compliance with plumbing regulations and safe operation.

Applications

  • Domestic and commercial central heating systems.
  • Boilers requiring manual topping up or system pressurisation.
  • Replacement or maintenance of existing filling loops.
  • Heating systems with pressure gauges and expansion vessels.
  • Retrofit projects to ensure compliance with water safety regulations.

Key Features

  • Available in different lengths, diameters, and connection types.
  • Brass, chrome-plated, or stainless steel options for corrosion resistance.
  • Integrated check valves or isolation valves included in many models.
  • Push-fit or compression fittings for easy installation.
  • Suitable for both wall-mounted and floor-standing boilers.
  • Can be used with flexible or rigid pipework.

Installation & Maintenance

Install filling links according to manufacturer instructions, ensuring secure connections and correct orientation of any check valves. Open valves slowly when filling to avoid over-pressurising the system. Periodically inspect for leaks, corrosion, or blockages, and replace if necessary to maintain safe and efficient boiler operation.
