Piping System
Test Pressures In Excess Of
1/2 PSIG (3.5 K Pa)
1. Disconnect appliance with its
appliance main gas valve
(control valve) and equipment
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 equipment shutoff valve
was connected.
