LEAKAGE TEST
Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior the shipment. A complete gas
tightness check must be preformed at the installation site due to possible miss handling in shipment or
excessive pressure being applied to the heater.
Check the tightness of the connection
. The whole gas system, hose regulator, pilot or burner should be
inspected for leaks or damage before use.
