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 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.
•
GAS ODOR
LP gas and natural gas have manmade odorants added specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks.
If a gas leak occurs you should be able to smell the fuel gas. Since Propane (LP) is heavier than air
you should smell for the gas odor low to the floor.
NOTE: Any gas odor 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.
•
Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas. When you have reason to
•
suspect a propane leak, keep out of allow areas.
•
Use your neighbor s phone and call your fuel 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
•
fuel gas supplier.
FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the fire fighters check for escaped gas. Have them
•
air out the building and area before you return. Properly trained service people must repair any
leaks, check for further leakages, and then relight the appliance for you.
