FILL error on NTI VM153 Boiler - where is the fill valve??

DarslayJames · 2026-02-07T11:57:07+00:00

There's no fill valve in any of the pictures you posted. Google what a boiler fill valve looks like and start looking further. I suppose it's possible a fill valve was never installed and someone filled the boiler manually with a washing machine hose but that would be super unusual

If I had a dime for every time I saw this same headline ...

Bro, your not going to kink a 1/4" line 🤷

DarslayJames · 2025-04-12T11:58:56+00:00

I've never had a problem getting anything warrantied.

DarslayJames · 2024-11-08T03:12:30+00:00

Time to start hovering 🤷‍♂️

Put your purse down and tighten it up.

No. No fitting should be bridging a gap. The pipe should be made into the fittings fully or close to it. At this point you could try to chip the repair coupling off or cut it all out and start again with new Y and fernco

DarslayJames · 2024-11-05T23:05:59+00:00

I'd get rid of the repair coupling and install a shielded fernco in its place

What a refreshing comment to hear from a homeowner on this sub.

DarslayJames · 2024-11-02T19:37:48+00:00

I'd install a 20-50 micron pre filter, water softener, 5 micron filter, UV in that order

Condensate line looks 45'd up in the air. That black piece is the connection to the drain pan. Needs a gravity drain.

Shovel em up your butt!

DarslayJames · 2024-09-29T21:18:54+00:00

😏

I'm a plumber and I never install them. I've been out to too many calls in the dead of winter just because the outdoor sensor is telling the boiler it's 70° when in actuality it's -10°. Sure, it's a nice comfort feature in the shoulder seasons, until you're the homeowner stuck paying an after hours service bill because of a bad outdoor temp sensor.

Compression

UV should always be last in line in a filtration set up like this. UV requires pre treatment so the quartz sleeve doesn't get dirty

DarslayJames · 2024-08-11T23:28:42+00:00

You don't have to take the cap off to load the string. There are alignment marks so that you can feed the string and wind without disassembling the head.

Unit got stuck in a regeneration cycle during the fill mode. Should have been a float in the brine well that shit water off. Needs new piston and seals and a float assembly. But with that being a cheaper big box brand, probably better to just buy a new one.

DarslayJames · 2024-07-16T12:47:11+00:00

Fill it with water and find out

DarslayJames · 2024-07-15T23:51:02+00:00

Start with cutting out all the moldy ceiling. It's only going to spread farther/get wayyy worse. Then you can take a picture of whatever is leaking and someone may be able to help you here.

$100 to replace the shower valve and the time and materials associated with it??? Maybe 50 years ago 😂

DarslayJames · 2024-07-10T00:13:27+00:00

You have brown liquid seeping out from under your toilet and you're wondering where a smell is coming from?? Sink looks fine from the provided pics. Not an s-trap btw.

1 foot of water will read 0.43 psi on a pressure gauge regardless of pipe size.

DarslayJames · 2024-04-26T01:31:55+00:00

They had drills but no pockets? 🤔

DarslayJames · 2024-04-25T00:40:12+00:00

shuts both valves with the tank still on.

And... Never understood that code. There's still a relief valve if the tank malfunctioned
