Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1.Disconnect appliance with its appliance main gas valve (control valve) and equip- ment shutoff valve from gas supply pip- ing system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig will damage heater regulator.
2.Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was con- nected.
3.Pressurize supply piping system by ei- ther using compressed air or opening propane/LP supply tank valve.
