Conduct a final inspection to check whether the following criteria are met:
All threaded joints on the connection lines have been checked to ensure that they have
a secure fit.
If …
then …
at least one criterion is not met
you should correct the error before proceeding
with the next task.
all criteria are met
you may proceed with the next task.
Proceed as follows:

5.4
Checking the system for leaks
Prior to delivery, the manufacturer conducted a pressure and leak test on the gas pressure
regulator as specified in DIN EN 334.
The gas pressure regulator installed in the system must be subjected to a leak test at the
setup location as follows:
Normative basis
DVGW Code of Practice G 491
Test method
Bubble test method
Test medium
Air or inert gas
Scope of the test
All detachable pipe joints
Test equipment
Foam-generating leakage medium
Test pressure
1.1 times the operating pressure (MOP)
The device installed into the system must undergo a leak test at the set-up location in ac-
cordance with applicable international and national standards.
Risk of serious injury posed by pressurized components moving in an uncontrolled manner
when handled improperly.
If not handled properly or in the event of a defect, gas can escape from pressurized compo-
nents under high pressure and cause serious injuries and even death. Before you start work-
ing on these components:
Close all connections leading to the gas-carrying line.
Establish a depressurized status. Residual amounts of energy must be depressurized as
well.
Risk of injury posed by bursting parts in the event that they are subjected to pressure in
the wrong direction
The device has been designed for a specific direction of flow, which is labeled on the device.
Subjecting the device to pressure in the wrong direction may result in serious injury caused
by bursting parts.
Pressurize the system only on the inlet side.
Details about the operating pressure can be found in the technical specifications.
