all joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak. Correct all leaks immediately.
CAUTION: Make sure external
regulator has been installed be-
tween gas supply and heater. See
guidelines under Connecting to Gas
Supply (page8).

Supply Piping System
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2
PSIG(3.5kPa)
1. Disconnect heater 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.
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. Bubbles forming show a
leak.
5. Correct all leaks immediately.
6. Reconnect heater and equipment
shutoff valve to gas supply. Check
reconnected fittings for leaks.

2. Open gas supply tank valve.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is
in the OFF position.
4. Check all joints from equipment
shutoff valve to control valve
(Figure 9). Apply mixture of liquid
soap and water to gas joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks immediately.
6. Light heater (see Operating
Heater, page 11).Check all other
internal joints for leaks.
7. Turn off heater (see Operation of
Turn-Off ,page11).
Test Pressures Equal To or
Less Than 1/2 PSIG(3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve
(see Figure 8).
2. Pressurize 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
Figure 9). Apply mixture of liquid
soap and water to gas joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks immediately.
