How to Replace the Pressure Sensor on a Viessmann Vitodens 050-W 25 (UK)

Step-by-step UK guide to replacing the hydraulic pressure transducer on a Viessmann Vitodens 050-W 25. Part numbers, torques, commissioning.

Viessmann

The part

Fit a new pressure transducer on Viessmann Vitodens 050-W 25 when the display shows correct pressure at rest but locks out on heat-up.

Isolate safely

The transducer on Viessmann Vitodens 050-W 25 threads or clips into the hydraulic block. Drop pressure to zero before removal.

Fit and commission

Refit with a new O-ring; over-tightening cracks the plastic body.

Recommission checklist

Refill the Viessmann Vitodens 050-W 25 to 1.2 bar cold. Bleed high-point radiators and the internal AAV.

Run a full flue-gas analysis after 15 minutes. Log the reading against the OEM commissioning envelope in the Benchmark book.
