CHECKING GAS PRESSURE

WARNING

Connecting directly to an unregulated propane/LPG tank can cause an explosion.

When tightening up the joint to the valve, hold the valve securely to prevent movement.

Test all gas joints from the gas meter to the heater valve for leaks using a gas analyzer or soap and water solution after completing connection. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.

Check the gas pressure with the appliance burning and the control set to HIGH.

Test Port “OUT”

 

The valve regulator controls the burner pressure which should be checked at the pressure test point.

Turn captured screw counter clockwise two or three turns and then place tubing to pressure gauge over test point (Use test point “OUT” closest to control knob). After taking pressure reading, be sure and turn captured screw clockwise firmly to re-seal. Do not over torque. Check for gas leaks.
