What is a Leak Check?
Once the propane cartridge is properly installed, it is
necessary to perform a leak check. A leak check is a
reliable way to verify that gas is not escaping after you
connect the cartridge. The fuel system in your barbecue
features factory-made connections that have been
thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have
been flame-tested.
WEBER recommends performing a thorough leak check
after assembly, as well as every time you disconnect
and reconnect a gas fitting. The following fittings should
be tested:
• Where the cartridge connects to the regulator.
• Where the regulator connects to the valve.
Checking for Gas Leaks
If there is a leak from your appliance (smell of gas) and
you cannot stop the gas flow, remove the appliance to a
well-ventilated location away from any ignition source.
Check for leaks using soapy water. Do not try to detect
leaks using a flame.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned o by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the o (
)
position.
2) Wet fittings (B) with a soap and water solution, using
a spray bottle, brush, or rag. You can make your own
soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap
with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check
solution in the plumbing section of any hardware
store.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cartridge (C), remove the
propane cartridge. DONOT OPERATE THE
Barbecue. Install a dierent propane cartridge
and recheck for leaks with a soap and water
solution. If the leak persists, remove the propane
cartridge. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.

4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:

NOTE: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and
water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be
rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
