How to check if the reference 0020018065 is the part 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 0020018065. 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 0020018065 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
The pressure of the boiler is low and I can't recover it because the valve seems to be broken.
Cause: The valve does not seal properly when closed and allows water to escape from the circuit slowly.
Close it completely and monitor the pressure gauge for a few hours; if the pressure continues to drop, check other points before replacing the valve.
- 02
The filling valve is leaking water or dripping continuously.
Cause: The elbow fitting or the internal gasket has lost tightness over time.
Dry the area and locate whether the dripping is coming from the elbow fitting or from the connection thread before replacing the part.
- 03
The elbow fitting has seized and does not turn.
Cause: Brass can seize up due to limescale or prolonged lack of use, which is common in taps that are rarely operated.
Try to move the fitting carefully in both directions; if it doesn't give, do not force it to avoid damaging the thread.
- 04
It needs to be replaced because it doesn't close completely and water continues to enter the circuit.
Cause: The internal shutter is worn or has scale and does not create a tight seal when closed.
Close it tightly and check if the pressure gauge continues to rise slowly; that confirms that the valve is not closing completely.
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.
