Evaluate current boiler piping configuration | Existing piping and pump layout will be visually inspected and compared to manufacturer installation instructions | Identify required modifications necessary to be in accordance with manufacturer specifications |
| 5.3102.12b
New boiler installation | Installation (e.g., specifications, work order) will be verified to be in compliance with manufacturer specifications, and water flow through tall boilers will be measured in accordance with
