CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas pip- ing and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing or servicing. Cor- rect all leaks at once.
CAUTION: Make sure exter- nal regulator has been installed between propane/LP supply and heater.SeeguidelinesunderCon- necting to Gas Supply, page 11.
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 equip- ment 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 lo- cated 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 gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5.Correct all leaks at once.
6.Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply. Check reconnected fittings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1.Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 17).
2.Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve lo- cated on or near gas meter for natural gas, or using compressed air.
3.Check all joints from gas meter for natural or propane/LP supply to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 18 or 19, page 14). Apply a non- corrosive leak detection fluid to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
WARNING: Never use an
