Exhibit A
Recommended Procedure for Safety Inspection of an Existing Appliance Installation as a Preliminary Step
to Applying an Automatic Intermittent Pilot System
The following procedure is intended as a guide to aid in determining that an appliance is properly installed and is in a safe
condition for continuing use.
This procedure is predicated on central furnace and boiler installations equipped with an atmospheric gas burner(s) and not
of the direct vent type. It should be recognized that generalized test procedures cannot anticipate all situations. Accordingly,
in some cases, deviation from this procedure may be necessary to determine safe operation of the equipment.
TE
a. This procedure should be performed prior to any attempt at modification of the appliance or the installation.
b. If it is determined there is a condition which could result in unsafe operation, the appliance should be shut off and the
owner advised of the unsafe condition.
The following steps should be followed in making the safety inspection:
1. Conduct a Gas Leakage Test of the appliance piping and control system downstream of the shut-off valve in the supply
line to the appliance.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or
restrictions, leakage or corrosion or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. Shut off all gas to the appliance and shut off any other fuel-burning appliance within the same room. Use the shutoff
valve in the supply line to each appliance. If a manual gas valve is not in the gas supply line within 6 feet of the
LE
appliance in an accessible location, one shall be installed.
4. Inspect burners and crossovers for blockage and corrosion.
5. Applicable only to warm air heating appliances. Inspect heat exchangers for cracks, openings or excessive corrosion.
6. Applicable only to boilers. Inspect for evidence of water or combustion product leaks.
7. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance is
located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace
dampers. If, after completing steps 7 through 12, it is believed sufficient combustion air is not available, refer to 1.3.4 of
the National Fuel Gas Code (Z223.1) for guidance.
8. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will
O
operate continuously.
9. a. Determine that the pilot is burning properly and that main burner ignition is satisfactory by interrupting and re-
establishing the electrical supply to the appliance in any convenient manner.
b. Determine manifold pressure in order to match input after the new control is installed.
10. a. Visually determine that main burner gas is burning properly; i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback. Adjust the
primary air shutter(s) as required.
BS
b. If appliance is equipped with high and low flame control or flame modulation, check for proper main burner operation at
low flame.
11. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use a draft gauge, the flame
of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
12. Return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and all other fuel-burning appliances to their previous
conditions of use.
13. Applicable only to warm air heating appliances. Check both limit controller and fan controller for proper operation. Limit
controller operation can be checked by temporarily disconnecting the electrical supply to the blower motor and
determining that the limit control acts to shut off the main burner gas.
14. Applicable only to boilers:
a. Determine that the circulating water pumps are in operating condition.
O
b. Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed controls, pressure and temperature limit controls and relief valves in
accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions to determine they are in operating
condition.

Exhibit B
Procedure for Installing Automatic Intermittent Pilot Systems
Prior to beginning this procedure, a preliminary examination of the appliance and the automatic intermittent pilot system should be made to
determine that the automatic intermittent pilot system can be properly applied to the appliance.
This procedure is intended as a guide to aid in safely installing a listed automatic intermittent pilot system on an existing listed appliance
equipped with an atmospheric gas burner(s) and not of the direct vent type.
This procedure is based on the assumption that the history of the specific installation has been one of safe and satisfactory operation.
This procedure is predicated on central furnace and boiler installations, and it should be recognized that generalized procedures cannot
anticipate all situations. Accordingly, in some cases, deviation from this procedure may be necessary to determine safe operation of the
equipment.
TE
1. Perform a safety inspection of the existing appliance installation. See Exhibit A for a recommended procedure for such a safety
inspection.
2. Shut off all gas and electricity to the appliance. To shut off gas, use the shutoff valve in the supply line to the appliance. If a manual
gas valve is not in the gas supply line within 6 feet of the appliance in an accessible location, one shall be installed. Do not use the
shutoff valve which is provided as part of a combination control.
3. Install the automatic intermittent pilot system in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
4. Turn on all gas and electricity to the appliance.
5. Determine that the appliance transformer has adequate capacity by following the steps outlined below:
a. Compute the approximate current draw by adding the current draw of the automatic intermittent pilot system to (1) the current
draw of the associated valving, and (2) the current draw of any relays or other devices operated by the transformer.
b. Multiply the total current draw as computed above by 24 V to determine the total VA (volt-ampere) required.
7. Make certain wiring connections are tight and wires are positioned and secured so they will not be able to contact high temperature
locations.
8. Conduct a Gas Leakage Test of the appliance piping and control system downstream of the shut-off valve in the supply line to the
appliance.
9. a. Adjust the thermostat to its highest temperature setting, and test manifold pressure and adjust the pressure regulator to match
original input as required (refer to Exhibit A, step 9b).
O
b. Visually determine that main burner is burning properly; i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback. Adjust the primary air shutter(s) as
required.
10. If the appliance is equipped with high and low flame control or flame modulation, check for proper main burner operation at both high
and low flame.
11. Determine that the pilot is igniting and burning properly and that main burner ignition is satisfactory by interrupting and reestablishing
the electrical supply to the appliance in any convenient manner. Make this determination with the appliance burner both cold and hot.
Perform this step as many times as is necessary to satisfy yourself that the automatic intermittent pilot system is operating properly.
BS
12. Test the pilot safety device (1) to determine if it is operating properly, and (2) for turndown characteristics according to the
manufacturer’s installation instructions. No adjustments should be made other than those recommended by the system manufacturer.
13. Sequence the appliance through at least three operating cycles.
14. Applicable only to furnaces. Check both the limit controller and the fan controller for proper operation. Limit control operation can be
checked by blocking the circulating air inlet or temporarily disconnecting the electrical supply to the blower motor and determining that
the limit controller acts to shut off the main burner gas.
15. Applicable only to boilers.
a. Determine that the circulating water pumps are in operating condition.
b. Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed water controls, pressure and temperature limit controllers and relief valves in accordance
with the manufacturer’s recommendation to determine they are in operating condition.
16. Add the labels (see 1.6.1-n and -o) on the appliance.
