c. Air vent in upper tapping.
d. Plugs in remaining tappings.
2. Fill boiler. Vent all air. Pressure test boiler at
1
1
¼2 times working pressure. For boilers split
and reassembled, test between 75 and 85 psig.
Do not leave boiler unattended.
Cold water fill could expand and
damage cast iron, resulting in severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
