SUMMARY FOR CHECKING LPG SYSTEM AND LPG APPLIANCE
1. After the LPG tank has been installed, the regulation system connected, the hose run and connected to
both the appliance and the regulator, slowly crack open the LPG tank valve and observe the pressure
gauge on the regulation system. The gauge should read approximately 110 psi at 70° F. (Higher if
warmer, or lower if cooler atmospheric temperature.)
2. Close the LPG tank valve and observe the pressure gauge. It should hold a constant pressure reading.
If you can detect a falling in pressure over a 3 minute period of time, there is a leak. LEAKS CAN BE
DANGEROUS!! .
a. If a leak occurs, check all appliance burners to see if in “Off” position.
b. Make sure the oven control is in “Off” position.
c. Check all fittings with a soap and water solution.
NEVER USE FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
3. If you cannot find the leak, contact Seaward Products promptly.
4. PRESSURE GAUGE: The primary function of the pressure gauge at the regulator is to check for leaks,
but it may also be helpful in determining the fuel level in the tank. When the liquid propane in the tank
nears the empty state, the gauge will indicate a low pressure. Since the vapor pressure of the propane
varies with the ambient and the temperature, using the gauge as a fuel level indicator may require
some experience, In general, when the gauge shows below 40 psi, you should consider refilling the
tank.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT YOUR LPG REGULATOR: It is recommended that only a high quality LPG
regulator be used with any of Seaward Products LPG appliances. It is imperative that the regulator be set
at 11 inch water column so that the oven operates correctly, and the flame height on the top burners cooks
efficiently. If the regulator pressure is greater than 11 inch water column, the flame can impinge on the top
burner bowl causing discoloration on stainless bowls and may chip the porcelain on the porcelain bowls.
