The installation of appliances designed for recreational park trailers must conform with state or other
codes or, in the absence of such codes, with the standard for recreational park trailers, ANSI A119.5.
Note: Check all piping connections in the unit for leaks. Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
Use a soap solution, 75% water, 25% dish washing soap. It is possible for connections made at the
factory to leak, due to vibration encountered in transportation. Make certain you have checked them
all, and repair any connections that leak.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig.
