Leak test
▶ Check the boiler and gas supply connections for leaks (
page 21).
Pressure tests
Disconnect the boiler and its gas shutoff valve form the gas supply pipe
system if that system is subjected to pressure tests in which the test
pressure exceeds 0.5 psi (34.5 mbar).
If the gas supply piping system is pressure-tested at a test pressure of
0.5 psi (34.5 mbar) or less, it is sufficient to disconnect the boiler from
the gas supply piping system by closing the shutoff valve.

Converting boiler to propane
The boiler is factory-set for operation with natural gas.

DANGER: Risk of explosion!
Leakage from the gas pipes and gas connections may
cause an explosion.
▶ Carry out a proper leak test using leak detector fluid.
NOTICE: Risk of system damage due to short-circuits!
▶ Cover the hazardous locations before checking for
leaks.
▶ Do not spray leak detector onto cable conduits, plugs
or electrical connection cables or allow it to drip onto
them.
Use only sealing compound that is resistant to corrosion
by liquid propane (LP) for the pipe connections. The
sealing compound must be applied sparingly to the male
thread of the pipe connections.
If you wish to convert the boiler to propane, please
contact Buderus for the required conversion kit.
Do not attempt to convert the appliance without the
approved Buderus parts and the relevant technical
documentation. The technical documentation is
included with the conversion parts.
For information about the identification of the main gas
orifice and the nominal gas orifice pressure for natural
gas and propane gas, see Chapter 2.8.3, page 7.
