Checking the combustion air/flue gas
connection
Check the following points:
– Is the prescribed combustion air/flue system used?
– Have the instructions for configuring the flue system
as specified in the relevant Installation instruction for
the flue gas system been observed?
– Has an annular gap clearance measurement been
carried out as part of commissioning? Check this with
a tightness testing instrument if necessary. Were the
permissible limit values observed as specified in the
Installation Instructions for the flue gas system?

Inlet gas pressure
z
Open at least one thermostatic radiator valve if
present to allow water to flow through the appliance.
Do not switch on the appliance.
z
Close the gas shut-off valve. Loosen the screw plug
on the inlet gas pressure testing nipple by two turns
(fig. 28, pos. 1).
z
Connect the pressure gauge connection hose to the
testing nipple (fig. 28, pos. 2).
z
Slowly open the gas shut-off valve.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½
psi (3.5 kPa).
