Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint and/or resealing with thread sealant or Teflon tape, removing
sealant or
tape in the event of a flared connection or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement
part
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged.
The
cylinder must be discarded to a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut off the gas
supply to the appliance and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning
any of
the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the appliance.
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
The below diagram is intended to show what a leaking connection would look like. These two
locations are not the only points to check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present.
Leak Testing
All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service along with before
each use.
This includes all valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas
source to the burners.
All leaks must be corrected
immediately. Remember-before exchanging an empty bottle for a new one; make
sure all control valves are in
the “off” position. This can create a low flow of gas through the burner. This would
require the tank to be disconnected from the regulator, and then reconnected to reset the regulator.
Open the valve (shut-off or ‘ON’ LP tank). Test for leaks by applying liquid soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming
indicate gas leak.
The following diagram is for informational purposes only. These locations are not the only points to
check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present. Ensure the leak test includes all
valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the burners.
