LEAKAGE TEST
Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A complete
gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in
shipment or excessive pressure being applied to the heater.
•
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solution can be
applied with a spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear in case of a leak.
•
The heater must be checked with a full cylinder.
•
Make sure the safety control valve is in the OFF position.

position (a click will be heard), this will light the pilot. If not, repeat this process.
