GAS INSTALLATION –Leak Test
WARNING:
Always perform a leak test before lighting the burner to prevent a possible fire or
explosion. Never store a spare propane cylinder in the vicinity of this Burner, or in the vicinity of any
other potential heat source. Never attempt to attach this burner to the self-contained LP gas system.
Do not use burner until leak testing.
Before Testing
DO NOT smoke while leak
testing. Extinguish all open
flames. Never leak test
with an open flame or risk
of serious harm to self or
others.
Mix Solution
Prepare a leak testing
solution of soapy water by
mixing in a spray bottle
one-part liquid soap to one-
part water. You can also
use mild detergent or liquid
soap
and water.
Leak Testing Procedure
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In
addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system is
disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your burner outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never
smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted
match to test for leaks. Use a
solution of soapy water.
1. Make sure all of the control knobs are in the OFF position.
2. Turn on the gas.
a. On natural gas systems, turn the shut off valve to the
burner.
b. On LP systems, turn the propane tank valve knob
counterclockwise one turn to open.
3. Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas
delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates
that a leak is present.
4. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty
part with a replacement part recommended by the
manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is
damaged. The cylinder must be replaced.
