How to check if the part number 996071 is the one for your boiler.
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference 996071. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the filling valve 996071 resolves.
The filling valve allows water to refill the heating circuit. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
You need to refill the pressure in the heating circuit more often than usual.
Cause: The filling valve does not close properly and allows internal dripping into the circuit.
Close the valve completely and measure the pressure after a day; if it continues to drop without visible leaks, suspect the valve.
- 02
You see a moisture ring or a constant drop in the area of the brass nut.
Cause: The internal gasket or the sealing seat of the valve has lost tightness over time.
Carefully tighten the connection nut and dry the area to rule out that the leak is from a loose joint and not from the valve.
- 03
The key switch turns very stiffly or gets stuck in one position.
Cause: The internal mechanism has seized up due to sediment or limescale, something common if the tap is not used frequently.
Try to turn the knob gently; if it doesn't budge, avoid continuing to tighten it to prevent breaking the shaft before deciding on the replacement.
- 04
After manually filling the circuit, the pressure suddenly rises more than expected and then gradually decreases.
Cause: A tap that doesn't close completely continues to let water from the mains pass through even if you think you have closed it.
Check visually that the knob is in the fully closed position (the one marked as 'closed') and not halfway turned.
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
