Valve at top of boiler driping water

At the boiler should be a purge setup. This consists of a valve to shut the zone off, and downstream of that valve is a drain ****. Attach a hose to the drain ****, and with the boiler running, close the valve and open the drain ****. (Turn the heat up on one zone at a time if you have multiple zones.) You should be able to notice when the air comes out of the hose by hearing it and the hose twitches and jumps when large amounts of air come out. After the air stops coming out, open the valve , close the drain, flip the bypass closed, and let the water circulate, then reapeat procedure. Do this until you hear or see no more air. You can run a long hose outside or you can use a bucket and a short hose. Using the bucket allows you to actually see the bubbles of air, but you will be dumping many buckets before you are done. Most boiler feed valves have a fast fill lever that bypasses the slow 12 psi that the boiler is normally fed at. Using this will speed up the purge considerably, but don't forget to flip the lever back down between, and after purging or the boiler relief valve will blow off and make a mess. Good luck!

Low water pressure can cause your boiler to turn itself off. ... boiler is not turning off, you aren't getting the amount of hot water you require. ... If there is air in your central heating system, then your boiler may shut down.

You didn't specify what kind of boiler you have. Some low pressure steam boilers have a manual fill valve as well as an automatic float switch valve. Hot water boilers have a pressure reducing valve that constantly monitor the boiler pressure and maintain 12 to 18 PSI for the safety of the boiler. If the boiler runs out of water there is a good chance it will rupture and become unrepairable. If you are saying your boiler won't fill, and its a hot water boiler, the pressure reducing valve is probably blocked with sediment and needs replacement. The valve is in the water line that feeds directly into the boiler return line from city water. Hope this helps.

check pump is running ok..if not replace it the pump, if pump is ok then u will need to descale boiler put in system by rad or if not combi then put in open vent tank make shure its the small tank also make shure the valve in tank is not stuck

The cold water feed to the boiler is where you will find the refill point which should be at the base of the boiler where all the pipes come in

Match it up with the factory one and see if it still happens.

When water is heated it expands. To deal with this all boilers are fitted with a small expansion vessel which is like a reservoir which holds the excess water.

This expansion vessel is like a balloon in a metal pot. When the water goes in the metal pot the baloon squashes a bit to make room for the extra volume of water. When it cools the balloon pushes the water back into the heating system.

What has happened is your expansion vessel no longer works. When the water heats up there is nowhere for it to go so the pressure jumps up to 4 bar. The Worcester boiler lets high pressure water escape (most boiler allow this to go through the safety valve at say 3.5 bar).

When the water cools the pressure drops very low as the volume of water contracts.

The problem is your expansion vessel - normally a little red painted metal cylinder inside the boiler.

Water logged expansion tank ( ruptured diaphram in tank) or wrong size tank. This caused the excessive pressure in the system causing the relief valve to open. Also, air in the system causing flow to stop, Both conditions will cause boiler go out on safety.

it sounds like your shut off valve might be bad even though it turns on and off by turing it doesn't mean that the washer is not stuck to the seat and not opening, try replacing the valve

it sounds like the gland on the valve is leaking unusual in a valve so young but it does happen. is the valve electrical operated or water pressure. you should be able to get a complete diaphram kit with all seals etc .
