Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the
gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In
addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to
the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system
is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test
your grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never
smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while
doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a
lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of
soapy water.
1.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by
mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to
one part water.
2.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF
position.
3.
Turn on the gas.
a. On
natural gas systems
, turn the main feed
valve to the grill.
b.
On LP systems
, turn the cylinder valve knob
counter clockwise one turn to open.
4.
Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it
on joints of the gas delivery system. Blowing
bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak
is present.
5.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by
replacing the faulty part with a replacement
part recommended by the manufacturer. Do
not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is
damaged. The cylinder must be replaced.
6.
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF
position.
If you are unable to stop a leak:
1.
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF
position.
2.
Shut off the gas supply to the grill and release
pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in
and turning any of the control valves one quarter
turn counter-clockwise.
3. On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the
grill.
4.
Call an authorized gas appliance service
technician or an LP gas dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.

Connect to a Gas Source
Leak Testing Procedure
Liquid Propane Connection
Use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with the grill, or a regulator and hose assembly with
the same specifications. Replacement LP regulator and
hose must have a coupling nut that will connect to a
QCC-1 cylinder valve on one end and a female fitting
that will connect to a 3/8” tapered fitting on the grill
manifold. See the figures below.
Connect the brass fitting to the manifold behind the
grill. Do not use Teflon tape or plumber’s dope. Do NOT
remove the NG regulator from the manifold. Connect
the coupling nut to the LP cylinder valve.
When you are finished connecting to the gas source, perform a leak test.
Natural Gas Connection
Connect the gas line to the NG stub-up inside the barbecue island. When you are finished connecting to the
gas source, perform a leak test.
