Leak Testing Valves, Hose and Regulator
1. NEVER smoke while leak testing.
2. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
3. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
4. Turn all side burner control knobs to OFF.
5. Ensure that the connections from the regulator to the side burner and tank are tight and secure.
6. Completely open the shut-off valve. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a major
leak at the connection. Correct before proceeding by calling the Coyote Customer Service line at
855-520-1559.
7. If no rushing sound, brush soapy solution onto all connection points.
8. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close the shut-off valve immediately and retighten connections.
If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair the regulator, or shut-off valve, by yourself and contact the
Coyote Customer Service line at 855-520-1559.
NOTE:
When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections. A slight leak in the
system can result in a low flame, or a hazardous condition that could result in a fire or explosion.
Natural Gas Supply and Connection
1.
Make sure all burner valves are in the “OFF” position
2.
All NG units need to have a regulator and shut-off valve on the supply line.
3.
All Pipe threads need to have proper, gas-rated, outdoor-rated thread sealant. Flare ends do not need or
utilize pipe sealant.
4.
Your NG Coyote side burner comes with a ½” regulator
a)
Installer needs to seal the regulator to the hose using pipe sealant.
b)
Then attach the flare end to manifold line, with no pipe sealant.
c)
Next, attach connection hose (not included) to the other side of the NG regulator (it is also ½” MIP)
i.
We suggest using ½” stainless steel corrugated hoses for all NG Side burners
ii.
Make sure that you purchase a hose of adequate length and capacity for the intended application.
d)
Connect the other end of this hose to shut-off valve
i.
Depending on your choice of hose and shut-off, the nipple going into the shut-off valve may vary.
e)
Test all connections for leaks with a soap and water solution.
Coyote is not responsible for the selection or performance of the contractor or installer who performs the
connection of the natural gas supply to the side burner.
