4.6 Soundness test of valve train
❏ The valve train soundness test must be carried out with
the ball valve and solenoid valves closed.
Test pressure in valve train: _____________ min. 100 mbar
Waiting time for pressure equalisation: _______ 5 minutes
Test time: ________________________________ 5 minutes
Max. permissible pressure drop: _______________ 1 mbar
(gas train design pressure _____________ max. 500 mbar)
First test phase:
Ball valve up to first valve seat
1. Connect test assembly to test point ➊.
2. Open test point ➋.
Second test phase:
Between the valves and second valve seat
1. Connect test assembly to test point ➋.
2. Open test point ➌.
Third test phase:
Valve train connection parts and gas butterfly valve
1. Fit blanking plate ➀.
(see notes Ch. 7.3)
2. Fit measuring device to test point ➌.
3. Remove blanking plate ➀ once soundness test is
complete.
4. Tighten Torx screws on mixing head.
Note: To carry out an external soundness test, brush
connection points with foam forming agents or
similar, non-corrosive material, or use an
electronic gas detector.

Test points on multifunction assembly
For the soundness test, the test points must be opened by
loosening the screw in the test nipple.
☞ Close all test points once the soundness test is
completed!
Documentation
☞ The results of the soundness test must be documented
in the service report.
