liquid dishwashing detergent and three parts
water).
2. Apply several drops of solution where
regulator connects to cylinder and to all hose
and valve connections
3. Make sure all patio heater and light valves
are OFF.

If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a
leak.

leak check. Apply the soapy solution to all hose and
valve connections. If you continue to see bubbles
after several attempts, cylinder valve is defective
and should be returned to cylinder’s place of
purchase.
