What do 1P4 or 108 error codes mean?

Fault code 1P4 or 108

Fault code 1P4 or 108 indicates low water pressure within the system, which is a simple fix that all owners can perform themselves.

What does Fault Code 1P4 / 108 mean?

  • 1P4 (or F1P4) is sometimes displayed as Fault Code 108.
  • It indicates that the water pressure in your boiler has dropped below the safe operating level.
  • Most boilers require the pressure to be around 1.0 to 1.5 bar when cold.

How to Fix Fault Code 1P4 / 108 (Low Water Pressure):

Check the Pressure Gauge

  • Look at the boiler’s pressure gauge (usually at the front or underneath the boiler).
  • If it reads below 1.0 bar, you need to top it up.

Re-Pressurise the Boiler

  • Locate the filling loop (a silver flexible braided hose beneath the boiler with small tap handles).
  • Slowly open the valves to allow water into the system.
  • Keep an eye on the pressure gauge and close the valves when it reaches 1.2 - 1.5 bar.

Reset the Boiler

  • After repressurising, reset the boiler using the reset button on the control panel.
  • The fault code should clear if pressure is restored.

Check for Leaks

  • If pressure keeps dropping, check for visible leaks on radiators, pipes, or boiler components.
  • Leaks must be repaired before repressurising again.

When to call aprofessional

  • If you are unsure how to repressurise your boiler safely.
  • If the fault code persists after topping up the pressure.
  • If there is a suspected leak or faulty pressure sensor.
Safety Tip
Never attempt boiler repairs if you are not confident or qualified. Always contact a Gas Safe registered engineer.
