    Boiler wont fire unless..

    Hello

    Emptied boiler to install some baseboard

    Was not able to finish due to schedule,so I isolated 2 heat zones and left DHW alone

    Boiler will now only fire if I manually open zone valve for DHW?

    Boiler is "Purepro" with Beckett burner

    Any ideas help is appreciated

    I'm

    not following you.........If the boiler is empty, do not fire it. If you have an indirect water heater, it uses boiler water to heat domestic hot water. If you dry-fire that boiler, you'll destroy it.

    Boiler was refilled

    Filled boiler to 15 psi before boiler was fired

    Boiler is equiped with Honeywell L7224 aquastat

    Also,boiler will fire when basement heat zone is calling..but does not fire for DHW when temp drops unless I manually open zone valve for it

    Any help is appreciated

    fix the problem

    that is causing the zone valve not to open on temperature drop.

    Do you have....

    A coil for DHW, or an indirect?
    If a coil, then you have to troubleshoot your control.
    If you have an indirect, you may still have air in the piping, or once again, troubleshoot the control

    How...

    How many wires are going to zone valve? My guess is that you are not sending 24 volts to theĀ valve or the valve head is bad. By manually opening it, you are closing the end switch. Which tells the boiler to fire.
