just had to topup my new boiler because it cut out and was only at 0.3 bar


attached the fill loop turned the screw on the valve for the boiler about 1 turn

then turned the screw for the main a bit and topped it to 1.3 bar and turned off BUT the screw for the valve going into the boiler just turns and turns

I can't take off the fill loop now?

They are quarter turn valve, off is when the slot is diagonal to the pipe.
