(2) Close the drain cock and open the lower valve. Water should return to the glass immediately;
(3) Close the upper valve, then open the drain cock and allow the water to flow until it runs clear;
(4) Close the drain cock and open the upper valve. Water should return to the glass immediately.
If this procedure does not show that both connections are clear, the boiler must be shut down.
