New to the boiler game and looking for some feedback. Pressure relief valve blew. Had new prv and reducing valve replaced which is a 12 psi. Since then, my pressure is reading at 9-10psi and I have no water at upstairs boilers. I’ve been bleeding rads. Upstairs and getting air but it has been over a week of doing this and still no water, just air at upstairs radiators. The guy who installed said to keep bleeding air but I don’t think it should take over a week.
The pressure reducing valve has a screw on top but no lever to add water. Could the lever have been removed? Is it universal to where I can get a lever to add water? Do I need to turn the screw on top to increase pressure?
I turned it on today and the pressure only went up to about 10-11psi and bottom radiators we’re heating fine. This thing looks ancient and is a Weil-McLain. Will try to post pics. Thanks for any feedback.
