2. Disconnect electrical power to the boiler using the relevant circuit breaker at the external electric box.
   
   Avoid electrical shock by disconnecting power supply to the appliance at the circuit breaker in the external electric box prior to performing any operation on the boiler.
   Before any operation on the appliance, allow the appliance to cool down to room temperature. Some components can be very hot.
   Failure to comply will result in substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.
3. Shut off the gas supply to the boiler at the main manual shut off valve.

Procedure

Required Tools and Materials

• Hole locator template (See Fig. 1)
• Pencil or permanent marker
• Hand-held power drill
• Screwdriver, Philips head
• Pieces of tape

Procedure (Fig. 1)


The vent and air adapters are located at the top of the boiler and may be at some height.
Make sure to use an appropriate access means to prevent any accidental fall.
Failure to comply may result in property damage or injury.

1. Wipe the base of each adapter with a clean cloth to remove any dust.
2. Knock out the 4 perforated holes on the template.
3. Place the template (2) on the vent/air adapter base, aligning the template reference line with the adapter measuring point (1) centerline.
4. Secure the template to the boiler with pieces of tape.
5. Mark each of the hole positions with a pencil or permanent marker, directly on the adapter base.
6. Gently peel the tape off the adapter base and repeat steps 3 to 5 with second adapter.
7. Remove the template and discard.
   
   Prestige PTE type only:
   Prestige Excellence models have internally routed pipework that needs protecting when drilling the vent adapter through the cabinet top panel.
8. Protect the internal routed pipe with a metal shim when working on Prestige Excellence models. Refer to Fig. 3. Remove and discard shim once the holes are drilled.
   
9. Using the supplied drill bit and power drill, drill 4 holes through each adapter base (and through the casing). (See Fig. 4)
   
   Make sure to use the provided screws or to use screws of the same size (diameter and length). Using longer screws might damage the inner components of the boiler.
   

10. Install 4 screws into the holes of each adapter and tighten. (See Fig. 5).
    

Follow-on task(s)

1. Clean any chips resulting from drilling.
2. Inspect the vent and air pipes external to the boiler to check they are:
   • Free of damage
   • Adequately secured
   • Installed correctly
     Refer to the Installation and Maintenance Manual, as well as the Vent Supplement for details.
3. Check that both clamps securing the vent and air pipes into their respective adapter are adequately tightened to ensure a leak-free connection.

Make a picture of the installation for later reporting.

Restarting the Boiler

Check for Gas Leaks

Prior to start-up and during initial operation, check for a gas leak using a combustible gas detector. Do not proceed with the start-up if there is any indication of a gas leak. Any leaks found must be repaired immediately.
Propane installations only - The propane supplier mixes an odorant with the propane to make its presence detectable. In some cases the odorant can fade and the gas may no longer have an odor.
Prior to start-up of the unit and periodically after start-up have the propane supplier check and verify the odorant level. Failure to comply with these instructions can result in substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.

Perform OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTICE
The OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS are also available in the Installation and Maintenance Manual and are affixed to the side of the boiler.

4. Set room thermostat(s) to lowest setting. Turn the external manual gas valve handle clockwise to "CLOSE" (valve handle must be perpendicular to gas piping).
5. Turn the boiler OFF using the ON/OFF service switch at the front of the boiler.
   
6. Remove the front panel of the unit, seeFig. 6 and Fig. 7.
   
7. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell gas in the jacket enclosure or around the unit,
   STOP!
   WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
   Do not try to light any appliance.
   Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building
   Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
   If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

8. If you don't smell gas, go to the next step.
9. Turn the external manual gas valve handle counter clockwise to "OPEN" gas supply (valve handle shall be parallel to gas piping).
10. Turn the boiler ON using the ON/OFF service switch at the front of the boiler.
11. Set room thermostat(s) to desired setting(s).
12. The appliance control panel display will show the current operating status on the Status Line at the bottom of the screen. "Standby" means there is no call for heat (all thermostats are satisfied). "CH Demand" indicates a space heating call has been received. "DHW Demand" indicates a domestic hot water call has been received. A flame icon will be displayed when the unit is fired.
13. If the unit will not operate:
    • Set the room thermostat to lowest setting.
    • Turn the service switch on the appliance control panel to "OFF"
    • Turn the external manual gas valve handle clockwise to "CLOSE".

Combustion Setting

Combustion testing and adjustments must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. A wrongly adjusted unit can in substantial property damage, serious injury, or death
NOTICE
All combustion measurements must be performed with recently calibrated equipment (1 year max.) to ensure proper reading and accuracy.
For more information, also refer to our "How to" videos about combustion setting available on Triangle Tube's website (https://triangletube.com/professionalresources/video-library/)

Required Tools and Material

• Torx T25 screwdriver
• Torx T40 screwdriver
• Flat head screwdriver (for PT 399 & PA 299-399 V1)
• Calibrated gas analyzer.
