A filling loop device is provided to facilitate filling of an installed pressurised heating circuit () including a boiler (furnace) () from a mains supply pipe (). The device includes a dead-man valve () configured to normally close off a water channel provided by a hose (). This ensures that the channel can only be opened when attended during charging. Conventionally the hose ordinarily used to charge the heating circuit should be removed after isolation valves are closed at the inlet () and outlet (). However careless operatives have been found to have frequently left the hose in place with the isolation valves open causing serious damage to the boiler. 1. A filling loop device for a pressurized heating system comprising:means defining a fluid passage having, an inlet port connectable to a fluid supply and an outlet port connectable to a heating system fluid circuit; anda dead man valve interposed in the passage between the inlet port and the outlet port, said dead man valve biased to a normally closed condition to shut off fluid flow through the channel in either direction when unattended, and manually operable to an open condition to permit fluid to flow from the inlet port to the outlet port;{'b': 14', '14', '14, 'i': a', 'b', 'e, 'a casing () having; a fluid passage () with an inlet port and an outlet port and, a spool chamber ();'}{'b': 14', '14', '14, 'i': f', 'e', 'g, 'a spool () slidably housed in the spool chamber (), said spool including a through passage () capable of communicating the inlet port and outlet port for fluid flow therebetween, and'}bias means to urge the spool so that a lower part of the spool obstructs the passage, and{'b': 14', '14', '14', '14, 'i': k', 'f', 'j', 'e, 'a drain passage () formed in the lower part of the spool () and communicable between the outlet port and a drain port () formed in the lower part of the spool chamber ().'}225.
