PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY
PIPING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect appliance with its appliance
main gas valve (control valve) and equip-
ment shutoff valve from gas supply piping
system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
will damage heater regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equip-
ment shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping by either opening
propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/
LP gas or opening main gas valve located
on or near gas meter for natural gas or
using compressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system.
Apply a noncorrosive leak detection uid to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff
valve to gas supply. Check reconnected
ttings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 14).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve
for propane/LP gas or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter for
natural gas or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equip-
ment shutoff valve for natural gas or pro-
pane/LP supply to equipment shutoff valve
for propane/LP (see Figures 15 and 16).
Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
PRESSURE TESTING HEATER GAS
CONNECTIONS
1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 15).
2. Open main gas valve located on or near

gas meter for natural gas or open pro-
pane/LP supply tank valve.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the
OFF position.
4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff
valve to thermostat gas valve (see Figures
15 and 16). Apply noncorrosive leak de-
tection uid to all joints. Bubbles forming
show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Light heater (see Operation, page 19).
Check all other internal joints for leaks.
7. Turn off heater (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 20).
