Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG

1.Disconnect heater and its individual manual shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig will damage heater 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 opening propane/LP supply tank valve.

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.

6.Reconnect heater and manual shutoff valve to gas supply. Check reconnected fittings for leaks.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG

1.Close manual shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 15).

2.Pressurize supply piping system by ei- ther using compressed air or opening propane/LP supply tank valve.

3.Check all joints from propane/LP sup- ply tank to manual shutoff valve (see Figure 16). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
