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 connected.

3.Pressurize supply piping system by either using compressed air or open- ing main gas valve located on or near gas meter.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1.Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 19).

2.Pressurize supply piping system by either using compressed air or open- ing main gas valve located on or near gas meter.

3.Check all joints from gas meter to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 20). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
