2. Drain boiler, tag valves and controls. NEVER attempt to remove a manhole or hand hole cover with out first properly venting the water or steam side of a boiler to the atmosphere. Prior to opening or entering a boiler it must be at atmospheric pressure. To protect the boiler from unnecessary stresses the boiler water temperature should be allowed to reach the boiler room temperature before draining the boiler.
