When testing pressure of gas lines, gas valve must be
disconnected and isolated. See Figure 60. Gas valves
can be damaged if subjected to pressures greater than
1/2 psig (3.48 kPa).
IMPORTANT
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury, death, or property damage.
Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Check
all connections using a commercially available soap
solution made specifically for leak detection. Some
soaps used for leak detection are corrosive to certain
metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly after leak test
has been completed.
