2. Perform a soap test for leaks on the gas inlet section of the gas valve. Use an appropriate
soap solution, and monitor for the presence of bubbles, which indicate leaks. If leaks are
found, shut off gas, reinstall inlet hardware, and retest. Gas pressures for testing are
according to local or national codes and regulations. See Figure 5-9.
