2. CONDENSATION DRAIN

All Victory VSPH boilers are equipped with a built-in
condensation drain and trap. The trap loop must be filled
with water. DO NOT operate the boiler without filling the
trap with water to prevent flue gas discharge into space.
Periodic inspection should be made of this assembly for
deterioration of the tubing and to insure that the trap is
not plugged. If it is plugged or appears to have exces-
sive sediment in it, it should be removed from the drain
assembly, straightened out to clear the obstruction,
reformed, filled with water and reinstalled as before.
3. PIPING INSPECTION
Look at all water piping. There should be no leaks or
signs of leaks at any pipe joints or around the boiler.
4. SYSTEM WATER PRESSURE INSPECTION
The temperature and pressure gauge indicates the
pressure in the boiler at each water temperature. For
most installations, it should indicate about 12 to 15 psi
pressure when temperature is about 70 to 100F and
from 15 psi to 25 psi when temperature is up to 240F.
FOR YOUR SYSTEM, there is one correct pressure for
each temperature. ASK YOUR INSTALLER OR SERVI-
CEPERSON TO EXPLAIN AND SHOW YOU. Learn
what normal pressure to look for. If pressure decreases
from normal, the relief valve will open to relieve the
pressure. Call your service organization if pressures
are higher or lower than normal, and if the relief valve
spills water. Repair or adjustment is needed.

5. UNUSUAL NOISE

Stand near the boiler and look and listen. As the burn-
ers start and shut off, there should be no unusual noise.
6. BOILER ROOM AIR SUPPLY
Ample boiler room fresh air is required for combustion
(non-direct vent installation) and ventilation (direct-vent
installation).
Check air vents for continues positive supply of air as
required. Air needs are greatest in cold weather if boiler
installation is non-direct vent method. Air vents must be
open and free of obstruction.
Warning:
The flow of combustion and ventilating air to the
boiler should not be obstructed.
Warning:
If you find any problem during your inspection, call
for service immediately.
