Leak Check
• Perform all leak tests outdoors.
• Extinguish all open flames.
• NEVER leak test when smoking.
• Do not use the heater until all connections have been leak tested and do not leak.
1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak check solution (one part liquid dishwashing detergent and
three parts water).
2. Apply several drops of solution where hose attaches to regulator.
3. Apply several drops of solution where regulator connects to cylinder.
4. Make sure all patio heater and light valves are OFF.
5. Turn cylinder valve ON.
If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a leak.
1. Turn cylinder valve OFF.
2. If leak is at hose/regulator connection: tighten connection and perform another
leak test. If bubbles continue appearing, the hose should be returned to the place
of purchase.
3. If leak is at regulator/cylinder valve connection: disconnect, reconnect, and
perform another leak check. If you continue to see bubbles after several
attempts, cylinder valve is defective and should be returned to cylinder's place of
purchase.
If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the connections are secure.
