Leak Check
After gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping
connections (factory− and field−installed) for gas leaks. Use
a leak detecting solution or other preferred means.
NOTE − If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the main
manual gas valve and disconnect the main power to the
furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.
CAUTION
Some soaps used for leak detection are corrosive to
certain metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly af-
ter leak test has been completed. Do not use
matches, candles, flame or other sources of ignition
to check for gas leaks.
The furnace must be isolated by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve and disconnecting from from the gas
supply system the during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at pressures
less than or equal to
1/2 psig
(3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).
IMPORTANT
When testing pressure of gas lines, gas valve must
be disconnected and isolated. See figure 27. Gas
valves can be damaged if subjected to pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).
