due to combustion products.

Route flue gases via venting system to the 
atmosphere. Use only approved venting 
materials.
Have the system inspected by an authorized 
person prior to start-up. Only start-up the 
system after approval.

Check system for leaks.

The Buderus SB735 boiler is a condensing boiler 
suitable for firing with natural gas or propane only.

NOTICE

To avoid build-up of debris inside the heat 
exchanger of the boiler, it is recommended to 
install a filter on the boiler return connection(s).

1.3

Hydrostatic test

Perform a hydrostatic test. The test pressure should be 
1.5 times the actual operating pressure in the heating 
system, however a minimum of 14 psi.
