Leak Testing Procedure
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the
gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In
addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to
the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system
is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak
test your replace outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Never smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area
while doing a leak test. Do not use a ame, such as
a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of
soapy water.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by
1.
mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to
one part water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF
2.
position.
Turn on the gas.
3.
On natural gas systems, turn the main feed
valve to the grill.
On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob
counter clockwise one turn to open.
Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it
4.
on joints of the gas delivery system. Blowing
bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak
is present.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by
5.
replacing the faulty part with a replacement
part recommended by the manufacturer. Do not
attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged.
The cylinder must be replaced.
