CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all
leaks immediately.
WARNING: Never use an open ame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water
to all joints. If bubbles form, there may be a leak. Correct all leaks immediately.
Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG ( 3.5kPa )
1. Disconnect log set 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 log set regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either using compressed air or opening gas supply tank valve.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. If
bubbles form, there may be a leak.
5. Correct all leaks immediately.
6. Reconnect log set 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. 7).
2. Pressure supply piping system by either using compressed air or opening gas supply tank valve.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equipment shutoff valve (See Fig. 8.1 & 8.2). Apply mixture of
liquid soap and water to gas joints. If bubbles form, there may be a leak.
4. Correct all leaks immediately.
Pressure Testing Log set Gas Connections
1. Open equipment shutoff valve (See Fig. 7).
2. Open gas supply tank valve.
3. Make sure control knob of log set is in the OFF position.
4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve to control valve
(See Fig. 8.1 & 8.2). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints.
If bubbles form, there may be a leak.
5. Light log set (see Operation, page 16).
Check all other internal joints for leaks.
6. Turn off log set (see "To Turn Off Gas to Appliance," page 16).
