GAS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
GAS CONNECTION - LIQUID PROPANE (LP) CYLINDER
The Hestan Power Burner can be connected to a standard 20 lb. LP gas cylinder when used with
a two-stage regulator/hose assembly and tank retention device available for purchase as kit
AGCKLPT from Hestan. This regulator/hose assembly must be used WITHOUT alteration. If the
hose or any part of the assembly is damaged, it should not be repaired - it needs to be replaced.
Please contact your Hestan dealer for genuine replacement P/N 014309. Please read and
understand the instructions supplied with the kit, and perform the leak testing described below
before using your appliance.
NOTE: To ensure proper heating performance of this appliance, verify that the supply pressure is
adequate to maintain 10.0" WC (2.49 kPa) outlet (manifold) pressure.
LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on your Hestan Power Burner are leak tested at the factory prior
to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to
possible movement in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to parts of the
unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is
detected.
BEFORE TESTING
•
Do not smoke while leak testing.
•
Never leak test with an open flame.
•
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing
purposes.
•
Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle or a brush.
•
For LP units, always check with a full LP cylinder.
To Test
•
Make sure all control valves are in the "OFF" position.
•
Apply the soap solution described above to all fittings.
•
Turn the gas supply on.
•
Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold
pipe assembly and all connections to each burner.
•
Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas
supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas supply back on, and recheck.
•
If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call the dealer where you purchased
your Power Burner.
•
Do not use the Power Burner until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
IMPORTANT NOTE - ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP CYLINDER CHANGE.
If a leak is present, or if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must
be replaced before using the Power Burner. The hose and LP regulator are supplied as a complete
assembly and must be replaced together. Do not attempt to repair or replace the hose itself.
Contact your Hestan dealer for genuine replacement P/N 014309.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy
water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
