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.
•
The heater must be checked with a full LP gas cylinder.
•
Make sure the safety control valve is in the OFF position.
•
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.
•
Leakage test points. See pictures below.
•
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.
•
Contact your dealer for assistance if bubbles continue to appear.
•
Never leak test while smoking.
FUEL GAS ODOUR
LP Gas has an added odorant to specifically assist on the detection of fuel gas leaks. If a
gas leak occurs you should be able to smell the fuel gas. Since LP Gas is heavier than air
you
should smell for the gas odour low to the floor. ANY GAS ODOUR IS YOUR
SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION!
•
Do not take any action that could ignite the
fuel gas. Do not operate any electrical
switches. Do not pull any power supply or
extension cords. Do not light matches or
any other source of flame. Do not use your
telephone.
•
Get everyone out of the building and away
from the area immediately. LP Gas is
heavier than air and may settle in low
areas. When you have reason to suspect
a gas leak, keep out of all low areas.
•
Use your neighbor’s phone and call your
LP Gas supplier and your fire department.
Do not reenter the building or area.
•
Stay out of the building and away from the
area until declared safe by the firefighters
and your LP Gas supplier.
•
FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person
and the firefighters check for escaped gas.
