- Put the propane gas supply line up through the floor of the enclosure.
- Make sure the hole through the floor is large enough to allow clearance for the gas supply line.
- Put a weather resistant seal (grommet, sealant, etc.) around the gas supply line where it goes through the floor to prevent vibration
and abrasion.
- To prevent vibration and abrasion, make sure that the gas supply line is not against anything in the enclosure.
- Attach the gas supply line to the 3/8 inch male flare fitting [312] of the refrigerator (See Art02535).
Examine the gas supply system for leaks:
Do not allow the leak detecting solution to touch the electrical components. Many liquids are electrically
!
WARNING
conductive and can cause a shock hazard, electrical shorts, and in some cases, fire.
Use a leak detecting solution to examine the gas supply line and all propane gas connections for leaks.
If you use compressed air for the test:
- The pressure at the 3/8 inch male flare fitting of the refrigerator must not be more than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column).
- If the air pressure is more than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column), remove the gas supply line from the 3/8 inch male flare fitting of
the refrigerator before the test.
- If the air pressure is equal to or less than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column), push and turn the gas control to the off position (
before the test.
