Leak Testing
Use a soap solution or equivalent for leak testing. Leak testing solution must be non-corrosive, and be
rinsed off immediately after the leak test. Never test for leaks with an open flame. Failure to comply could
result in personal injury, property damage or death.
Always leak test the final gas assembly for gas leaks according to the procedures outlined in NFPA 54
and all local codes/or standards.
For leak testing on pressures below ½ PSI
Before leak testing, close the field installed manual shut off valve shown in Figures 2.4 and 2.5 (pg. 15) on
the supply line to isolate the gas valve from the pressure.
NOTE: All factory installed gas connections
have passed an approved leak test.
For leak testing on pressures above ½ PSI
When leak testing with pressures above ½ PSI (14 inches W.C.) the unit’s gas controls must be isolated
from the supply pipe. Close the field installed manuals shut off valve, disconnect the supply line to the
unit, and temporarily cap the supply line for testing purposes.
