LeakChecking
What is a Leak Check?
Once the LP tank 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
tank. The fuel system in your grill 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 annually. The
following fittings should be tested:
• Where the regulator connects to the tank.
• Where the gas hose connects to the bulkhead.
• Where the bulkhead connects to the corrugated gas
line.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1) Wet fittings (A) 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 tank valve
counterclockwise while checking for bubbles.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (B), turn o the gas.
DONOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Disconnect the
tank and return the tank to your local retailer.
b) If the leak is at the regulator (C), turn o the
gas (D). NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE
REGULATOR WITH TANK VALVE OPEN. DO NOT
OPERATE THE GRILL. 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 the gas supply o at the tank 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.
Refilling or Replacing an LPTank
Removal of the LP Tank
1) Confirm that the tank valve is fully closed. Close by
turning the valve clockwise (D).
2) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning
counterclockwise by hand (E).
3) Lift the tank o of the tank bracket.
Additional Leak Check Precautions
The following fittings should be tested for gas leaks
each time a tank is refilled and reinstalled:
• Where the regulator connects to the tank (B) and at the
regulator (C).
