Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A complete leakage test should
be performed at the installation due to possible mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure being applied to
the heater.

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.
