24 XI S tar t-up and Checkout Use the following procedure for initial start-up of the boiler: 1 ) Make sure that the boiler is filled with water to the normal water line (28 3/4 inches above the floor or pad on which the boiler is installed) 2 ) Check all new gas piping for leaks and purge piping sections that are filled with air. See Part 4 of the[...]

25 24 1 6 ) Check the manifold pressure and adjust if necessary. To do this, use the following procedure: a ) Connect a manometer to the inlet pressure tap on the gas valve (see Figures 23 and 24). b) Check the inlet pressure with all gas appliances on and off. The inlet pressure at the boiler must be within the following limits regardless of what [...]
