LEAK TEST
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a
complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible
mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Periodically check the entire system for leaks following the procedures listed below. Before using
your appliance you must check for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the appliance.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray
bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the LP
cylinder is full.
WARNING
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE CONDUCTING LEAK TEST.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
If it is evident that there is excessive abrasion, wear or the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation. The replacement hose must
be specified by the manufacturer.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valve is in the OFF
position then turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from the gas
cylinder, LP gas regulator and supply valve
up to and including all connections to the
pipe that go to the burner. The following are
the points where the soap-water mixture is
to be applied. Soap bubbles will appear if a
leak is present.
A. Supply tank (cylinder) weld.
B. Tank valve to cylinder.
C. Tank valve knob.
D. Regulator coupling nut to tank valve.
E. Regulator to regulator coupling nut.
F. Regulator connections to gas supply
hoses.
