WARNING: Test all gas pip-
ing and connections for leaks
after installing or servicing. Cor-
rect all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open
flame to check for a leak. Apply a
mixture of liquid soap and water
to all joints. Bubbles forming show
a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
CAUTION: (Propane/LP Only)
Make sure external regulator has
been installed between propane/
LP supply and appliance. See
guidelines under
Connecting to
Gas Supply, page 8.
Pressure Testing Gas Supply
Piping System
Note: Pressure testing shall be performed in
accordance with Canadian Gas Code B-
149.1 and 2-M95, Section 5.22.
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
1. Disconnect appliance and its individual
manual shutoff valve from gas supply
piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2
PSIG will damage appliance regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where
manual shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by ei-
ther using compressed air or an inert gas.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping
system. Apply mixture of liquid soap
and water to gas joints. Bubbles form-
ing show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG
1. Close manual shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 14).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by ei-
ther using compressed air or an inert gas.
3. Check all joints from propane/LP sup-
ply tank or main gas valve to manual
shutoff valve (see Figure 15). Apply
mixture of liquid soap and water to gas
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
Pressure Testing Appliance Gas
Connections
1. Open manual shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 14).
2. Open propane/LP supply tank valve
(Propane/LP Only) or main gas valve
(Natural Gas Only) located on or near
gas meter.
3. Make sure control knob of appliance is
in the OFF position.
4. Check all joints from manual shutoff
valve to control valve (see Figure 15).
Apply mixture of liquid soap and wa-
ter to gas joints. Bubbles forming show
a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Light appliance (see Operating CO2
Generator, page 10). Check the rest of
the internal joints for leaks.
7. Turn off appliance (see To Turn Off Gas
to Appliance, page 10).
8. Replace front panel.
