4.Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
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)
1.Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 5).
2.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.
3.Check all joints from gas meter to equipment shutoff valve for natural gas or propane/LP supply to equipment shutoff valve for propane/ LP (see Figure 6 or 7). Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4.Correct all leaks at once.

Gas Pressure Check The appliance regulator controls the burner pres- sure which should be checked at the pressure test point (1/8" NPT plugged tap) located near the on the control valve identified OUT for the manifold side and IN for inlet pressure. Make sure operating pressures are within the limits shown in Specifica- tions, page 15. The pressure should be checked with the unit burning and set to High. Replace test point plug or tighten test screw after pressure measurement ensuring no gas leaks.
