LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
• Ensure gas valve is in the ‘OFF’ position.
• In a small container, mix a solution of water and
detergent or soap.
• After connection of the hose, turn on the valve at the
gas bottle or mains as appropriate.
• Using a brush apply the solution to the gas connection
points and look for bubbles forming.
• Bubbling will indicate a leak.
• Turn off the valve and re-tighten the joint. Repeat the
leak test.
• If the leak persists, turn off the gas at the isolation
valves and contact a licensed gas fitter to correct.
