sorry for being a pain, so after the system is fully filled and pressure is at normal 12-15psi, i should leave the shut off valve permanently closed before the auto fill? and not open it at all?

yeah i could def hear water going through the fill valve after the boiler was fully hot at 180 deg. it just sounded like a small amount going through it. so im gonna say it has to be replaced then

Now someone please answer me this. If i drain the boiler a little to reduce the pressure down to 12-15psi and leave that water valve off the pressure will stay and the boiler will be at 180 deg. As soon as i open up that valve the gauge goes right to 20psi!? Is that because the boiler was hot...

Ok well i messed with it a little tonight. You may think im crazy lol i reduced the pressure cranked the t stat everything got hot etc gauge went from 12-15 up to 20psi and stayed there with tons of heat in the house And seeming to stay there... for now. I took a flat head screw driver to the...

so get the pressure down to 12-15psi then shut off the shut off valve lever before the auto fill valve correct?

how else should i try and bleed the boiler first ? is there another procedure besides just at the baseboards? can someone tell me exactly what i need to do or try first?

yeah no air came out of the baseboards, just constant steady streams of water, and like i said it was fine for a few weeks and was roughly staying at 20psi @ 180 degrees. but i would check it every few days or so and would notice that it went up to 25psi, and stay roughly there steady, then this...

also when i replaced all 3 of these items i had shut off all the water valves, let the boiler cool and drained the boiler, then proceded to replace the items. after all were replaced i slowly opened the valves to fill the boiler then fired it up, i was told there should not be a need to bleed...

Ok well let me start off my story by this. i went into the basement and noticed the floor was wet and the relief valve had popped off. so i initially thought it was time for a new one cause it was fairly old etc. I decided to turn off the switch for the boiler and drain the water and let it...
