What are some of the things you look for on a boiler replacement?
Some of the more important things checked are:
- Tight fuel connections with appropriate materials (IMC Chapter 13 and IFGC Chapter 4);
- Adequate clearances for the boiler (IMC 1004) and the chimney connector (IMC 803.10.6) or vent connector (IFGC 503.7.7);
- Auxiliary safety high limit control (IMC 1006.7)
- Relief valve properly installed and piped toward the floor (IMC 1006.5 and 1006.6)
- Required backflow preventer on the water make-up connection (UPC 603.4.11); and
- Adequate provision of combustion air (IMC Chapter 7)
