To check inlet gas pressure: 1.

C. Additional Precaution for Excess Flow Valve (EFV) If an excess ow valve (EFV) is in the gas line, check the manufacturer’s minimum and maximum ow capacity ratings. An improperly sized EFV will not allow for a full ow of gas to the boiler and will cause the boiler to malfunction. See Figure 56. 8. Leak test the gas line pipe before placing the boiler in operation. Only use approved leak detector liquid solutions to check for leaks. 9. Do not operate the boiler until all connections have been completed and the heat exchanger is lled with water. 7. Use a manometer to test the gas pressure to make sure it meets the minimum standards and does not exceed the maximum standards of the boiler.

Remove yellow cap from line pressure test point. See Figure 57. 2. Unscrew “P in” screw. 3. Connect the manometer to the test point. 4. Check the inlet gas pressure. 5. Disconnect the manometer from the test point. 6. Tighten the “P in” screw (1 N/m). 7. Check for and repair any gas leaks. 8. Replace the yellow cap.

D. Checking Gas Pressure at the Boiler for Proper Operation NOTE: Refer to Figures 57 and 58 when checking gas pressure. Loosen the bolts before checking the gas inlet pressure. 1. The boiler and its individual shuto valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures greater than ½ psi (3.5 kPa). 2. The boiler must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shuto valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa). The minimum and maximum inlet gas line pressures must meet the requirements shown in Table 23. When performing a pressure test on the gas line pipng, be sure the boiler is disconnected or isolated if the test pressure is expected to exceed 1/2 PSI (14” WC), as damage to the gas valve could occur. Such damage could result in Àre, property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

WARNING

DO NOT REMOVE OR ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO SCREWS 2 and 4 WITHOUT A CALIBRATED COMBUSTION ANALYZER. DOING SO COULD RESULT IN FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
