LEAK TEST
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a
complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible
mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Periodically check the entire system for leaks following the procedures listed below. Before using
your grill you must check for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including the burner tie-down straps.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray
bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the LP
cylinder is full.
WARNING
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE CONDUCTING LEAK TEST.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced
prior to the appliance being operational. The replacement hose shall be specified by the
manufacturer.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valves
are in the
OFF
position, then
turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from
the gas cylinder, LP gas
regulator and supply valve up
to and including all
connections to the pipe that
go to the burners (Following
are the points where the soap
water mixture is to be
applied). Soap bubbles will
appear if a leak is present.
Points of leak test:
1. Control valve to manifold
2. Manifold to hose assembly
3. The full length of gas hose
4. Regulator connection to gas hose
