11. Close the boiler’s front panel. If boiler was installed, reconnect the boiler’s electric power and gas supply, pressurize the boiler’s internal water and reconnect existing venting. Test run the boiler to check for flue gas leaks or condensation leaks.
    a. If no leaks are present, the work is complete.
    b. If leaks are present, check the connections and reseat and/or tighten where needed. Run the boiler and again check for leaks.
