Check the gas lines for leaks.
a. Use a soapy water solution. DO NOT test for gas leaks using a match or open flame,
b, Brush the soapy water solution on all gas pipes, joints and fittings,
c. Check for bubbling soap. This means you have a leak.
Turn "OFF" gas and make the necessary repairs. d. Recheck for leaks.
e. Rinse offsoapy solution and wipe dry.
Be sure to check all your gas pipes for leaks before lighting your water heater. Use a soapy water solution, not a match or open flame. Check the factory gas fittings after pilot is lit and gas control knob is still in "PILOT" position. Then, check the fittings when the main burner is mrued "ON". Use a soapy water solution for this, too.
