Leak testing

       WARNING: 

Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks, as property 

damage, personal injury, or death could result.
The water heater and its gas connections must be leak tested at normal operating 

pressures before it is placed in operation.

●  Turn on the gas shut-off valve(s) to the water heater.

●  Use a commercial leak detector or soapy water solution to test for leaks at all 

    connections and fittings. Bubbles indicate a gas leak that must be corrected.
The factory connections should also be leak tested after the water heater is 

placed in operation.

High altitude

Ratings of gas water heaters are based on sea level operation and need not be 

changed for installations at elevations up to 2,000 feet.
Unit not recommended for elevations in excess of 2,000 feet.
