filling
A filling factory was a manufacturing plant that specialised in filling various munitions, such as bombs, shells, cartridges, pyrotechnics, and screening smokes. In the United Kingdom, during both world wars of the 20th century, the majority of the employees were women.
In World War I, a filling factory belonging to the Ministry of Munitions was known as a National Filling Factory.
In World War II, a filling factory belonging to the Ministry of Supply was known as a Royal Filling Factory (RFF), or a Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF). These were all part of the Royal Ordnance Factory organisation, owned by the MoS.
The filling of smoke screen canisters and other pyrotechnic devices was also carried out by fireworks manufacturers, particularly in World War II, but these are not specifically covered by this article.
Water keeps filling up my home water tank from the output valve at the bottom of the tank and not from the top of the tank
Water keeps pouring in from the output valve and won't stop, making the tank overflow 24/24
At first we thought it was the input valve at the top but after inspection we...
If you are qualified to do a Gas Safety check on a property I assume that entails checking the boiler.
If, when checking a Combi, you notice the flexi filling loop in place (Taps closed) would you remove it or leave it be?
Also if you notice one valve open and the other closed, once again, would...
Hi Folks,
Where is the place to order a Vaillant filling loop, please? I looked around on the net but can't seem to find it as a kit. I'm not doing the job but he wants to know what to buy and replace it himself and asked me where to get one. I said I'd have a mooch. He sent this picture. I...
In our sealed Megalo system, when hot water tap is used (say in bathroom shower) the megaflo is taking in some fresh water, I guess to compensate for the water used. The incoming water go via a pressure relief valve [most likely its this one: Heatrae Sadia 8 Bar Pressure Relief Valve -...
Hello,
My tenant toilet has just started to fill up really slow, he has said it takes 20mins to fill the tank, what could be the issue?
He provided a short video that I have attached.
Would be good to know what to look for, or what parts to take when going to take a look.
Thank you good...
On my Valliant eco tec boiler the pressure guage is on red when cold . I drain a radiator to correct to pressure and it works fine and stays in the safe zone . When I switch boiler off the next day it’s back in the red
It could be one of the valves leaking .
Can I take the loop off , which...
Hello all, I want to increase the system pressure to 1.5 bar. Following the user manual (found one online) and some YT videos the filling link should be clearly visible there, but I still cannot find the filling link on my Greenstar 30si compact, or at least nothing there looks like it. It...
Hi so I changed a towel radiator in bathroom from a normal radiator.
I bunged the f&e tank and vent pipe , drained about a pint of water out the pipes.
Altered the pipes to the new rad.
Then removed the bungs.
Gone to bleed the radiator it filled slightly now no air is coming out.
I've...
I’ve noticed on my old Bosch boiler the DCV on the filling loop is fitted to the boiler side of the water supply.
And there is no isolator valve fitted. The only thing stopping it from leaking is the DCV?
IS this ok?
I've been told I need silicone but I'm not sure which one or what type. Also, once it's filled and dryed would it be worth sticking a piece of the same type of plastic on to of the repair holes?
After some advice, had a gas fire removed and now left with the pipe capped and a hole which houses the pipe which was behind the fireplace. How is best to cover this up and fill it please?
Hi all
Moved to flat recently, and the heating is not very good. I realized the pressure is too low, below 1 bar. It is Meibes, product number 10920.26 OH5
So I am looking how to fix it. I am only a DIY'er, so bare with me.
In the diagram you can see the fill loop mentioned, but that is not...
My house seems to be freezing and my double pvc glazing windows were installed over 20 years ago. The window seals have seen better days and there's gaps in between the window frames and window.
Not really done anything like this before as I am not a plumber or carpenter.
Does anyone which...
Hello, I have just had a new boiler with Google Nest installed the engineer was great and explained how it all works but now my radiators soundike they are constantly filling up I have bled all the rads with only water coming out all rads have TRVS installed apart from the bathroom towel rad...
Ive looked at the tech specs and it seems that the REMS has a lower flow rate but higher pressure at 5.5 bar. the Kamco has a higher flow rate so i understand that will be best for flushing a dirty system, however its maximum pressure of flow is under 2 bar. I wish to use a mashine for...
Hi, I have recently had a water board inspection
This is what the report said about the filling loop on our press unit for a biomass boiler….
There is quickfill pipework directly between the mains water supply and heating supply. This type of temporary connection is permitted under the water...
Hi
I’ve got a very slow filling toilet which upon opening the cistern is due to the water coming very slowly out of the pipe and into the cistern.
In the attached picture the cream plastic spout is where the water comes out and into the cistern but it’s just a trickle. I’ve checked that the...
Hi Guys,
The valves on both sides of my Valiant 837 filling loop are letting through causing a constant pressure rise (seems to be a common problem). I want to cap off or isolate the small connector but its not a size I recognise, the part number for the filling loop is 0020010293. Can someone...
