*An A.G.A. design certified manual shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional A.G.A. design certified manual shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessories, page 27.

WARNING

Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct 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

Make sure external regulator has been installed between propane supply and heater. See guidelines under Connecting to Gas Sup- ply, page 14.

PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
