PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY
PIPING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
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.

3. Pressurize supply piping system by either

opening propane/LP supply tank valve for

propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve

located on or near gas meter for natural gas

or using compressed air.

4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system.

Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to

all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff

valve to gas supply. Check reconnected fit-

tings for leaks.
