6.10 Filling the heating system and 

checking for leaks

To ensure that leaks do not occur when the system is in 
operation, check for leaks before commissioning the heat-
ing system. Pressurize the heating system with a pressure 
equal to the response pressure of the pressure relief 
valve.

V

Carry out the leakage test according to the local regu-
lations.

Fig. 28 Pressure/temperature gauge

V

Open the mixing and shut-off valves on the heating 
water (primary) side.

Caution: 

Risk of system damage due to 

scale formation in the boiler.

V

Refer to the information provided in the 
"Water quality requirements for Logano 
plus GB312" manual.

Caution: 

Risk of system damage due to ex-

cess pressure when testing for leaks.
Pressure, control and safety equipment may 
be damaged by excessive pressure.

V

When you carry out a leakage test, make 
sure that no pressure, control or safety 
equipment that cannot be isolated from 
the boiler water chamber is fitted.

7 747 010 720-24.2RS

Caution: 

Risk of damage to system

If you fill the heating system when it is hot, the 
resulting temperature stresses can cause 
stress cracks. The boiler will then leak.

V

Only fill the heating system when cold (the 
flow temperature should be no more than 
104 °F).

V

When the heating system is in operation, 
do not fill it via the boiler fill & drain valve. 
Instead, use the filler valve in the heating 
system pipework (return).

V

Pay attention to the water quality as spec-
ified in the "Water quality requirements for 
Logano plus GB312" manual, and record 
the volume and quality of the water used 
to fill the system.

Caution: 

Risk of system damage due to un-

suitable heating system water.

V

Pay attention to the quality of the water 
used to fill the heating system. Poor water 
quality can damage heating systems due 
to scale formation and corrosion. For fur-
ther details, please see the accompanying 
"Water quality requirements for Logano 
plus GB312" manual.
