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 issue?

    So our filling loop only seems to allow water to flow when you open it for about 3-5 seconds and then nothing. Trying to top up boiler pressure as it's about 0.7 bar. If you wait 5 minutes you can open filling loop and you get another 3-5 seconds of water through it before nothing happens again...

    Hi, in what circumstances, would you say, it is ok to install a boiler without a filling loop and/or check valve? We had a new boiler installed without a filling loop and/or check valve. I had conflicting advice on the subject: some say it is illegal not to have a check valve (risk of water...

    Can't find my filling loop!

    I need to pressurise my Vaillant ecoTEC plus 618 Boiler, but can't find the filling loop! It's not under the boiler itself... (IMG_1696.jpg) And I'm uncertain about the pipes around the water tank upstairs (see pictures attached) -- can you see anything there? Where do you think it could be?
