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.
