OWNER’S MANUAL

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas pip- ing and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Cor- rect 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.

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 regula- tor.

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 main gas valve located on or near gas meter.

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.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG

1.Close manual shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 13).

2.Pressurize supply piping system by ei- ther using compressed air or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter.

3.Check all joints from gas meter to manual shutoff valve (see Figure 14). Apply mixture of liquid soap and wa- ter to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

4.Correct all leaks at once.
