NOTE

Safe lighting and other performance criteria were met with the gas train assembly provided on the boiler when the boiler underwent the tests speciﬁed in Z21.13.

WARNING

Never attempt to ﬁll a hot empty boiler

Use the following procedure for initial start-up of the boiler:

1)If not already done, ﬂush the system to remove sediment and debris. This should be done with the boiler isolated from the system.

2)Fill the boiler and hydronic system with water and purge the system of air. To do this:

a)Unscrew the cap on the automatic air vent by one turn and leave open permanently. This air vent is located on top of the circulator (Figure 12.1).

b)Open the ﬁll valve and pressurize the boiler to approximately 15psi

c)Bleed air out of each manual air vent in the system until a steady stream of water appears. Start with the lowest manual vents in the system and work towards the highest. If a manual ﬁll valve is used, periodically add water to the system so that the pressure at the boiler is maintained at approximately 15 psi.

d)Remove the shaft cover screw on the front of the circulator (Figure 12.2). Using a screw driver, manually spin the shaft in the direction of rotation shown on the pump until a small amount of water appears at the end of the shaft. Replace the shaft cover screw.

e)At the end of the purging process, make sure that the pressure gauge on the boiler reads between 5 and 19 psi.

f)Make sure that a manual air vents are closed. If an automatic ﬁll valve is used, make sure that it is set to the automatic position.
