❏ Boiler and heat distribution units filled with water?
❏ Water chemistry verified per page 23?
❏ Automatic air vents, if used, open one full turn?
❏ Air purged from system?
❏ Air purged from gas piping? Piping checked for
leaks?
❏ Propane orifice installed for propane firing and
propane conversion label affixed to jacket?
Ultra boilers are shipped ready to fire
natural gas ONLY. Exception: The Ultra-
80LP is factory-equipped to fire propane.
You must install the propane orifice or
conversion kit (Ultra-80NG) if the boiler
will be connected to propane. See page 9.
Failure to comply could result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
❏ Thermostat circuit wiring checked to ensure there
are no stray voltages per page 24, “Check
Thermostat Wires?”
❏ Followed Operating Instructions in Ultra Control
Supplement?
❏ Burner flame and combustion verified per page 25?
❏ Verified control operation for space heating and
DHW (if used) per Ultra Control Supplement?
❏ Tested additional field-installed controls — If boiler
has a low water cutoff, additional high limit or other
controls, tested for operation as outlined by
manufacturer? (Boiler should be operating and
should go off when controls are tested. Verify
controls cause soft lockout or hard lockout as
desired.)
❏ Set additional field-installed limit control(s) to
system temperature requirements? Adjusted
balancing valves and controls to provide design
temperature to system?
❏ For multiple zones, adjusted for correct flow in each
zone?
❏ Verified thermostat heat anticipator (if available)
set properly? Refer to Ultra Control Supplement.
❏ Cycled boiler with thermostat (and with DHW
aquastat, if installed) — Raised to highest setting
and verified boiler goes through normal startup
cycle? Lowered to lowest setting and verified boiler
goes off?
❏ Measured natural gas input? (per page 25)
❏ Checked incoming gas pressure by connecting
manometer to gas valve ahead of boiler? (Gas
pressure must be at least 5 inches w.c. for natural
gas, and 4 inches w.c. for propane, with boiler
operating at high fire, and no more than 13 inches
w.c. with boiler operating or boiler off.)
❏ Observed several operating cycles for proper
operation.
❏ Set room thermostat to desired room temperature
(and DHW aquastat, if installed, to desired DHW
storage temperature)?
❏ Reviewed all instructions shipped with this boiler
with owner or maintenance person?
❏ Fill in Installation certificate on page 27.
❏ Return instructions to envelope and give to owner
