Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System
Test Pressure in Excess Of 1/2 PSIQ (3.5 K Pa)
. Disconnect appliance with its appliance main gas valve (control valve)
and equipment shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressure
in excess of / psig will damage heater regulator.
. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was con-
nected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either using compressed air or
opening main gas valve located on or near gas tank.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply a mixture of liquid
soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming indicate a leak.
5. Correct all leaks immediately.
6. Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply. Check
reconnected fittings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIQ
. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 8).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either using com pressed air or
opening main gas valve located on or near gas supply tank.
3. Check all joints from gas tank to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure
9). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles form-
ing show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks immediately.
Pressure Testing Heater Gas Connections
. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 8).
. Open main gas valve located on or near gas tank.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the OFF position.
4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve to control valve (see
Figure 9). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles
forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks immediately.
6 Light heater (see
Operation, pages 7 through 9). Check the rest of
the internal joints for leaks.
7. Turn off heater (see “To Turn Off Gas to Appliance”, page 18).
