Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
1.
Disconnect appliance with its appliance
main gas valve (control valve) and equip-
ment shutoff valve from gas supply pip-
ing system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
will damage heater regulator.
2.
Cap off open end of gas pipe where

to all joints. Bubbles forming show
a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1.
Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 27).
2.
Pressurize supply piping system by ei-
ther using compressed air or opening
propane/LP supply tank valve.
