Leak Testing
LEAK TEST ALL GAS CONNECTIONS BEFORE US-
ING YOUR GRILL.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
DO NOT LEAK TEST WITH A MATCH OR OPEN
FLAME
.
DO NOT USE A GRILL THAT IS LEAKING GAS.
YOU SHOULD TEST FOR GAS LEAKS EVERY TIME
YOU DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT A GAS FIT-
TING.
PERFORM A LEAK TEST EVEN IF YOUR GRILL WAS
DEALER OR STORE ASSEMBLED.
DO NOT IGNITE BURNERS WHEN LEAK TESTING.
LEAK TESTING
1. For LP models, leak test with a full propane cylinder.
2. For systems other than self-contained LP cylinders:
A. The grill and its individual shut-off valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping systems during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in ex-
cess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
B. The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its own manual shut off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
1. Grill burner control valves should be turned off and the gas
turned on at source.
2. Apply soap solution to all gas connections.
To make soap solution, mix together equal amounts of
liquid detergent and water.
3. Soap bubbles will appear if there is a leak.
4. Tighten the connection to make proper seal. And recheck for
soap bubbles.
If you cannot stop a gas leak by tightening, turn gas
supply off. Take leaking joint apart, clean it, recon-
nect and test again. If leak persists, contact the
dealer or gas utility.
A gas system MUST be tested yearly, or whenever
the LP cylinder or any other gas system part is re-
placed.
