BOILER FEED SYSTEMS

3.1 REQUIRED PRECAUTIONS DURING TEMPORARY USE

3 . 1 . 1 G E N E R A L

A boiler system is often utilized in new construction to assist in curing of building components or to provide temporary heat or for other purposes. If precautions are not taken during this time to protect the boiler system, a great deal of damage can occur before the ultimate owner takes over the building.

It is the mutual responsibility of the installing contractor and the boiler owner to consider the effect of temporary usage on the boiler system warranty. The following should be observed so as to assure the longevity of the feed system.
