Pressure test boiler and gas connection before placing
boiler in operation.
• Pressure test over 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Disconnect
boiler and its individual gas shutoff valve from
gas supply system.
• Pressure test at 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) or less.
Isolate boiler from gas supply system by closing
manual gas shutoff valve.
