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 equipment
	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 equipment
	shutoff valve was connected.
3.	Pressurize supply piping system by either
	opening propane/LP supply tank valve for
	propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve
	located on or near gas meter for natural gas
	or using compressed air.
4.	Check all joints of gas supply piping system.
	Apply a noncorrosive leak detection ﬂuid to

*A CSA design-certiﬁed equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design-certiﬁed equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessories, page 30.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.

5.	Correct all leaks at once.
6.	Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff
	valve to gas supply. Check reconnected ﬁt-
	tings for leaks.

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