Install boiler — non-packaged boilers only

Perform hydrostatic pressure test

1. Refer to Control Tapping Table 2 and Figure 5 to install:
a. Boiler drain.
b. Water pressure gauge (test only). Be sure gauge can
handle test pressure.
c. Air vent in upper "N" tapping.
d. Plugs in remaining tappings.
2. Fill boiler. Vent all air. Pressure test boiler at 1½ times work-
ing pressure. For boilers split and reassembled, test between
75 and 85 psig.
Do not leave boiler unattended. Cold water fill
could expand and damage cast iron, resulting in
severe personal injury, death or substantial prop-
erty damage.
3. Check for maintained gauge pressure for more than 10 min-
utes. Visually check for leaks if gauge pressure drops.
4. Drain boiler. Repair leaks if found.
Do not use petroleum-based compounds to repair
leaks. Damage to system components can result,
causing property damage.
5. Re-test boiler after repairing leaks.
6. Remove pressure gauge, air vent and plugs from tappings
used for controls.
