Checking for Leaks
Burner Connection
Make sure the control valve is securely fastened to the burner.
If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the connection between the burner
pipe and control valve. Make sure the burner pipe fits over the control valve.
WARNING: Failure to inspect this connection or follow these
instructions could cause a fire or an explosion which can cause
death, serious bodily injury, or damage to property.
If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the control valve, please contact
1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
Regulator / 1# LP Gas Tank Connection
Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three
parts water.
Make sure control knob is off.
Spoon several drops of solution, or use squirt bottle, at the LP gas tank to regulator
connection.
Inspect the solution at the connection, looking for bubbles. If NO bubbles appear, the
connections are secure. If bubbles appear, you have a leak.
Loosen and retighten this connection, making sure the connection is secure.
Retest with solution. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, disconnect
propane source and contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
