Do not check for gas leaks with an open
flame – use the bubble test. Failure to
use the bubble test or check for gas leaks
can cause severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
3. Purge all air from the gas supply piping.
4. Before placing the boiler in operation, check the boiler
and its gas connection for leaks.
a. The appliance must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at a test pressure in excess of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa).
b. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing a manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa).
c. The appliance and its gas connection must be leak
tested before placing it in operation.
The gas valve and blower will not support
the weight of the piping. Do not attempt
to support the weight of the piping with
the boiler or its accessories. Failure to
comply could result in severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage.
