Leak Testing Instructions
WARNING!
A leak test must be performed annually and each time a cylinder is hooked up or if a
part of the gas system is replaced.
WARNING!
Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open flames
are in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion,
damage to property, serious bodily injury, or death.
Leak testing
: This must be done before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are
replaced or serviced. Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition. See Leak
Testing Diagram for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to the off position. Turn gas supply valve on.
Brush a half-and-half solution of liquid soap and water onto all joints and connections of the regulator,
hose, manifolds and valves.
Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Either tighten the loose joint or have the part replaced with one
recommended by the Napoleon Customer Solutions department and have the grill inspected by a certified
gas installer.
If the leak cannot be stopped,
immediately shut off the gas supply, disconnect it, and have the grill
inspected by a certified gas installer or dealer. Do not use the grill until the leak has been corrected.
STOP
WARNING!
•
The installation must be performed by a licensed gas fitter, and all connections must be leak tested
before operating the grill.
• Do not route hose underneath the drip pan.
•
Do not route hose between bottom shelf space and back panel.
• Do not route hose over top of rear panel.
•
Ensure all hose connections are tightened using two wrenches. Do not use Teflon tape or pipe dope
on any hose connection.
• Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces or it may melt and leak causing a
fire.
•
Leak test all the connections using a soap and water solution as per the leak testing instructions found
in the manual.
•
The outdoor cooking gas appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psi
(3.5 kPa).
• The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
