Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint and/or resealing with thread sealant or Teflon tape, removing
sealant or tape in the event of a flared connection or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The
cylinder must be discarded to a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
•
If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut off the gas
supply to the appliance and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any
of the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
•
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the appliance.
•
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
•
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
•
The below diagram is intended to show what a leaking connection would look like. These two locations
are not the only points to check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present.
Leak Testing
•
All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service along with before each use.
This includes all valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the
burners
.
All leaks must be corrected immediately. Remember-before exchanging an empty bottle for a new one; make sure
all control valves are in the “off” position. This can create a low flow of gas through the grill. This would require the
tank to be disconnected from the regulator, and then reconnected to reset the regulator.
Open the valve (shut-off or ‘ON’ LP tank). Test for leaks by applying liquid soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming
indicate gas leak.
