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

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG

1.Close manual shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 16).

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

3.Check all joints from propane supply tank to manual shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 16). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles form- ing show a leak.

4.Correct all leaks at once.

2.Open propane supply tank valve.

3.Make sure control knob of heater is in the OFF position.

4.Check all joints from manual shutoff valve to thermostat gas valve (thermo- stat-controlled models) or control valve (manually-controlled models) (see Fig- ure 16). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles form- ing show a leak.

5.Correct all leaks at once.
