Test Firing Heater

soapy water. Soap bubbles indicate gas leakage. DO NOT use a match to test for gas leaks.

initial firing.
Leak Test
Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment or
excessive pressure being applied to the heater.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solution can be
applied with a spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear in case of a leak.
The heater must be checked with a full cylinder.
Make sure the safety control valve is in the OFF position.
Turn the gas supply ON.
In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the gas supply on
and recheck.
Never leak test while smoking.
Turn On and Turn Off the Heater
