Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 14).
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 gas meter for natural gas
(see Figure 15) or propane/LP supply tank for
propane/LP gas, to equipment shutoff valve
(see Figure 16). Apply a noncorrosive leak
detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming
show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
PRESSURE TESTING HEATER GAS
CONNECTIONS
1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 14).
2. For natural gas open main gas valve located
on or near gas meter. For propane/LP gas open
propane/LP supply tank valve.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the OFF
position.
4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve
to thermostat gas valve (see Figure 15 or 16).
Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Light heater (see
Operating Heater
, page 13).
Check all other internal joints for leaks.
7. Turn off heater (see
To Turn Off Gas to Appli-
ance
, page 14).
8. Replace front panel.
