CheCK for Gas LeaKs
m
warninG: You should check for gas leaks every time you
disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
Note: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The
burners have been flame-tested. As a safety precaution however, you should recheck all
fittings for leaks before using your Weber® gas barbecue. Shipping and handling may
loosen or damage a gas fitting.
m
warninG: perform these leak checks even if your barbecue
was dealer or shop assembled.
Note: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly
corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
If your barbecue has a side burner make sure the side burner is off .
To perform leak checks: open cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve hand-wheel
counterclockwise .
You will need: LPG cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it .
A) Mix soap and water .
B) Turn on the cylinder valve by turning cylinder valve handwheel counterclockwise .
C) Check for leaks by wetting the fitting with the soap and water solution and watching
for bubbles . If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak . If there is a leak,
turn off the gas and tighten the fitting . Turn the gas back on and recheck with the
soap and water solution . If leak does not stop do not use the barbecue . Contact the

do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. be sure
there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you
check for leaks. sparks or open flames will result in a fire or
explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death
and damage to property.
