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 to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

CAUTION: Make sure exter- nal regulator has been installed between propane/LP supply and heater. See guidelines under Con- necting to Gas Supply, page 12.

Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1.Close manual shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 22).

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

3.Check all joints from propane/LP sup- ply tank to manual shutoff valve (see Figure 23). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

4.Correct all leaks at once.

1.Open manual shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 22).

2.Open propane/LP 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 (see Fig- ure 23). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles form- ing show a leak.

5.Correct all leaks at once.

6.Light heater (see Operating Heater, pages 14 and 15). Check all other in- ternal joints for leaks.

7.Turn off heater (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 14).

8.Replace front panel.

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1.

Disconnect heater and its individual

 

manual 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

 

manual shutoff valve was connected.

3.

Pressurize supply piping system by ei-

 

ther using 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 form-

 

ing show a leak.

5.

Correct all leaks at once.
