CHECKING GAS

CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas pip- ing and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Cor- rect all leaks at once.

WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

CAUTION: (Propane/LP Only) Make sure external regulator has been installed between propane/ LP supply and appliance. See guidelines under Connecting to Gas Supply, page 8.

Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System

Note: Pressure testing shall be performed in accordance with Canadian Gas Code B- 149.1 and 2-M95, Section 5.22.

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG

1.Disconnect appliance and its individual manual shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG will damage appliance regulator.

2.Cap off open end of gas pipe where manual shutoff valve was connected.

3.Pressurize supply piping system by ei- ther using compressed air or an inert gas.

4.Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles form- ing show a leak.

5.Correct all leaks at once.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG

1.Close manual shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 14).

2.Pressurize supply piping system by ei- ther using compressed air or an inert gas.

3.Check all joints from propane/LP sup- ply tank or main gas valve to manual shutoff valve (see Figure 15). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

4.Correct all leaks at once.

Pressure Testing Appliance Gas Connections

1.Open manual shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 14).

2.Open propane/LP supply tank valve (Propane/LP Only) or main gas valve (Natural Gas Only) located on or near gas meter.

3.Make sure control knob of appliance is in the OFF position.

4.Check all joints from manual shutoff valve to control valve (see Figure 15). Apply mixture of liquid soap and wa- ter to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

5.Correct all leaks at once.

6.Light appliance (see Operating CO2 Generator, page 10). Check the rest of the internal joints for leaks.

7.Turn off appliance (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 10).

8.Replace front panel.
