10) Make sure vent damper is in open position when main burners are firing.
11) Inspect the main burner flames visible through the observation port in burner access panel. The flame should be stable
and mostly blue (see Figure 26). No yellow tipping should be present; however, intermittent flecks of yellow and orange in
the flame are normal.
12) Check entire gas train for leaks using soap and water or other approved leak detection method while boiler is firing. Fix
any leaks found immediately.
13) Run gas valve safety shutdown test:
• For standing pilot boiler models, disconnect the thermocouple from gas valve. Both pilot burner and main
burners should stop firing.
• For intermittent ignition boiler models, with main burners firing, disconnect ignition cable from ignition module.
Both pilot burner and main burners should stop firing.
