36. OPEN GAS TRAIN CARTON(S)
CONNECT GAS TRAIN(S) TO ELBOW ON END OF
MANIFOLD(S) according to the Gas Trains on pages
86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91 or 92.
PRESSURE TESTING of gas service piping must be
done before connecting to the boiler gas train. Test for
leaks by introducing, from an isolated source, air or
inert gas to the piping. Piping shall withstand 3 PSI
gage pressure for a period of not less than 10 minutes
without showing any drop in pressure.
37. A DRIP LEG SHOULD BE PROVIDED IN THE
VERTICAL DROP TO EACH GAS TRAIN, see
Fig. 1. An additional Manual Shut-off valve and
SecTiON iii – iNSTALLATiON iNSTRUcTiONS (continued)
must be mounted so that cut off point is above
marking on Lowest Permissible Water Line Plate.
f. Install Pressure Safety Relief Valve, using fittings
furnished, into 1-1/2” pipe tapping in upper corner
of End Section. DO NOT INSTALL A SHUTOFF
VALVE BETWEEN SAFETY RELIEF VALVE
AND BOILER. Safety Relief Valve must be
installed in a Vertical Position with handle up.
g. Install Boiler Drain Valve into one of unused return
tappings that has been bushed to ¾”. Drain Valve
can also be installed in return piping, preferably
in leg of tee that is located in line with return
connection on Boiler.
35. CONNECT PIPING TO BUILT-IN HEATER(S) IF
USED, see Fig. 30, top - left side of this page.
