Step 14

Check for gas leaks

WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

Note - All factory made connections have been

thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners have

been flame tested. As a safety precaution you should

recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber

Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may have

loosened or damaged a gas fitting.

WARNING: Perform these leak checks even though
your barbecue was assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.
To perform leak checks: open tank valve by turning the
tank valve handwheel counterclockwise. Figure 20.
DANGER

Do not use an open flame to check

for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks

or open flames in the area while you

check for leaks. This will result in a fire or

explosion which can cause serious bodily

injury or death and damage to property.

c) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 21 (c).
d) The hose to regulator connection. Figure 21 (d).
WARNING: If there is a leak at c or d, turn OFF the
gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact
Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at
the source and rinse connections with water.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the
soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If
bubbles form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.

Note - Since some leak test solutions, including soap

and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections

should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.

WARNING: Donot ignite burners when leak checking.
Check:
a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 21 (a).
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 21 (b).
WARNING: If there is a leak at a or b, retighten the
fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap
and water solution.
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn
OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.
