: :I would say it is their to test the fireeye . You do test you safety controls a least once a year i hope.
I would remove it. I have never heard of any one installing a valve on the cooling nipple to the Fireye. As far as the ALWCO, LWCO & the GG's, these SHOULD be blowdown/tested once every 8 hours while the boiler is in operation. The Fireye may be tested every 8 hours also, but can be tested once every week. The evaporation test and the MTFI are monthly tests. I HOPE YOU ARE NOT TESTING ONCE PER YEAR!!!!!!!!! If you are you are looking at a possible boiler explosion.
