filling loop

In Riemannian geometry, the filling radius of a Riemannian manifold X is a metric invariant of X. It was originally introduced in 1983 by Mikhail Gromov, who used it to prove his systolic inequality for essential manifolds, vastly generalizing Loewner's torus inequality and Pu's inequality for the real projective plane, and creating systolic geometry in its modern form.
The filling radius of a simple loop C in the plane is defined as the largest radius, R > 0, of a circle that fits inside C:

    Filling Loop query.

    If you are qualified to do a Gas Safety check on a property I assume that entails checking the boiler. If, when checking a Combi, you notice the flexi filling loop in place (Taps closed) would you remove it or leave it be? Also if you notice one valve open and the other closed, once again, would...

    Filling Loop Double Check Valve

    I’ve noticed on my old Bosch boiler the DCV on the filling loop is fitted to the boiler side of the water supply. And there is no isolator valve fitted. The only thing stopping it from leaking is the DCV? IS this ok?

    Cap off cold water running to shower via loft space?

    I’m doing a bathroom refit, and there’s some strange pipework design that I’d like some advice on, please. I want to remove the cold water pipe running through the loft space because I would rather avoid having a cold water pipe buried under the loft roll insulation. Instead, I’d like to reuse...

    Any idea why the pressure keeps going up on my combi boiler? I have a Vaillant Ectotec Plus about 15 years old. The heating has been off all summer and the filling loop taps are both fully closed but the pressure keeps going up. I empty about 2-3 litres of water from the system every 2-3 weeks...

    Unable to top up pressure on Alpha CD35C Combi Boiler

    The central heating circuit is slightly low on pressure so I tried to top it up with the built in filling loop. Nothing happens. No mains water gets pushed into the heating return pipe. I disconnected the filling loop on the heating side to test the double-check valve, and mains water comes...
