4. All above ground gas piping upstream from manual
gas valve must be electrically continuous and
bonded to a grounding electrode. Do not use gas
piping as a grounding electrode. Refer to the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or
CSA C22.1 Electrical Code.
C. Pressure Test. The boiler and its gas connection must
be leak tested before placing boiler in operation.
1. Protect boiler gas valve. For all testing over ½ psig,
boiler an its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from gas supply piping. For testing at
½ psig or less, isolate boiler from gas supply piping
by closing boiler's individual manual shut-off valve.
2. Using soap solution, or similar non-combustible
solution, electronic leak detector or other approved
method. Check that boiler gas piping valves, and all
other components are leak free. Eliminate any
leaks.

NOTICE
USA boilers built for installation at altitudes greater than 2,000 feet above sea level have been specially oriced
to reduce gas input rate 4 percent per 1,000 feet above sea level per the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/
ANSI Z223.1. Canadian boilers' orice sizing is indicated on the rating label. High altitude boiler models are
identiable by the third digit in the model number sufx on the rating label:
_IN_ _ _ - _ _ 2 less than 2000 ft. elevation
_IN_ _ _ - _ _ 4 2000 to 4500 ft. elevation (Canada)
_IN_ _ _ - _ _ 5 2000 to 5000 ft. elevation (USA)
