1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 15).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve
for propane/LP gas or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter for
natural gas or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from propane/LP sup-
ply tank to equipment shutoff valve for
propane/LP gas (see Figure 16) or from
gas meter to equipment shutoff valve for
natural gas (see Figure 17). Apply noncor-
rosive leak detection fluid to gas joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.

meter for natural gas.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the
OFF position.
4. Check all joints from propane/LP sup-
ply tank to equipment shutoff valve for
propane/LP gas (see Figure 16) or from
