Examine The Propane Gas Supply System For Leaks - Norcold N260.3 Serie Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

- Make sure that the materials used for the gas supply line
obey both the current ANSI A 119.2 (NFPA 1192) and
CSA Z240 Standards on Recreational Vehicles. Norcold
recommends the use of 3/8 inch copper tubing as the gas
supply line and requires a 3/8 inch SAE (UNF 5/8-18) male
flare fitting as the connection to the refrigerator.
- 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 (grommets, 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 bulkhead fitting [2] of the
refrigerator (See Art01035).
Examine the gas supply system for leaks:
!
WARNING: Do not allow the leak detecting solution
to touch the electrical components. Many liquids are
electrically 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 of the compressed air at the manual shutoff
valve of the refrigerator must not be more than 1/2 psig (14
inches Water Column).
- If the pressure of the compressed air is more than 1/2 psig
(14 inches Water Column), remove the gas supply line from
the manual shutoff valve of the refrigerator before the test.
- If the pressure of the compressed air is equal to or less than
1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column), close the manual shutoff
valve of the refrigerator before the test.
