Warning
Be sure to drain the hot water to a safe point of discharge to avoid scalding.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or
death.
xiii. Remove hand-hole plates.
xiv. Inspect the surfaces. If they are not clean, repeat the boil out.
xv. After closing the hand-holes and reinstalling the safety or relief
valves, fill the boiler and fire it until the water is heated to at least
180
o
F to drive off any dissolved gases, which might otherwise
corrode the material.
xvi. The above procedure may be omitted in the case of a unit
previously used or known to be internally clean. However,
consideration must be given to the possibility of contaminating
materials entering the boiler from the system.
xvii. On a steam system, the condensate should be wasted until tests
show the elimination of undesirable impurities. During the period
that condensate is wasted, be sure make-up water is treated to
prevent an accumulation of unwanted materials or corrosion.
