What is a Leak Check?
Once the ULPG cylinder 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 ULPG cylinder. Weber recommends
performing a thorough leak check after assembly, as
well as annually. The following fittings should be tested:
• Where the cylinder connects to the gas hose.
• Where the gas hose connects to the regulator.
• Where the regulator connects to the burner valve.
Checking for Gas Leaks
If there is a leak from your appliance (smell of gas)
immediately attempt to turn o the cylinder valve.
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) Wet fittings (H) 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.
2) Slowly open gas supply by turning cylinder valve
anti-clockwise while checking for bubbles.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (I), turn o the gas.
DONOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Disconnect the
ULPG cylinder and return the ULPG cylinder to
your local retailer.
b) If the leak is at the fitting indicated in illustration
(J), re-tighten the fitting and recheck for leaks
with soap and water solution. If leak persists, turn
o the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.
c) If the leak is at the regulator (K), turn o the gas.
DONOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area
using the contact information on our website.
If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact
information on our website.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
a) Turn gas supply o at the ULPG cylinder and rinse
connections with water.
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.
m DANGER: Do not use a flame to check for gas
leaks. Besure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for leaks.
m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or
explosion.
m DANGER: Do not operate the barbecue if there is
a gas leak present.
m DANGER: If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of
gas escaping from the cylinder:
1. Move away from cylinder.
2. Do not attempt to correct the problem
yourself.
3. Call the emergency fire services.
m DANGER: Always close the cylinder valve before
disconnecting the regulator. Do not attempt to
disconnect the gas regulator and hose assembly
or any gas fitting while this barbecue is in
operation.
m DANGER: Do not store a spare cylinder under
or near this barbecue. Never fill the cylinder
beyond 80% full. Failure to follow these
statements exactly may result in a fire causing
death or serious injury.
