Check for Gas Leaks:
After connecting the gas supply piping to the gas control on the heater, the connections
must be checked thoroughly for leaks. With the shut-off valve on the supply piping near
the heater (if installed) turned ON, but the gas control knob supplied with the heater
OFF, apply liberal amounts of a soapy water solution to all of the piping joints. A gas leak
will cause bubbles to form. Note any leaks in the piping system. Shut off the gas at the
shut-off valve (if installed), or at the gas meter of the Propane/LP tank serving the
structure. Fix the leaking joint and re-test the joints as directed above.
Fig 9 – Guidelines for Gas Piping Connections (ANSI Z223.1)
WARNING: NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
THIS CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
