CHECKING GAS

CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.

WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

Pressure Testing Gas Supply

Piping System

Test Pressures In Excess Of

1/2 PSIG (3.5 K Pa)

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 equipment shutoff valve was connected.

3.Pressurize supply piping sys tem by either us ing compressed air or opening propane/LP supply tank valve.

4.Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water 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 K Pa)

1.Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 15).

2.Pressurize supply piping system by either using compressed air or opening propane/LP supply tank valve.

3.Check all joints from propane/LP supply tank to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 16). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

4.Correct all leaks at once.

Pressure Testing Heater Gas Connections

1.Open equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 15).

2.Open propane/LP supply tank valve.

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

4.Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve to control valve (see Figure 16 ). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

5.Correct all leaks at once.

6.Light heater (see Operating Heater, pages 10 and 11 for non-thermostat models or page 12 and 13 for thermostat models). Check the rest of the internal joints for leaks.

7.Turn off heater (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 11 for non-thermostat models or page 12 for thermostat models).

8.Replace lower front panel.

READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result in causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor .
