Leakage test
Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment.
A complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to
possible mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure being applied to the heater.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap
solution can be applied with a spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear in
case of a leak.
The heater must be checked with a full cylinder.
Make sure the safety control valve is in the OFF position.
Turn the gas supply ON.
In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the
gas supply on and recheck.
Never leak test while smoking.
