Apply amixture of liquid soap and waterto all joints. Bubbles forming showa leak. Correct all leaks at once.Pressure Testing Gas SupplyPiping SystemTest Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG(3.5 K Pa)1. Disconnect heater and its individualmanual shutoff valve from gas supplypiping system. Pressures in excess of1/2 psig will damage heater regulator.2. Cap off open end of gas pipe wheremanual shutoff valve was connected.3. Pressurize supply piping system by ei-ther using compressed air or openingmain gas valve located on or near gasmeter.4. Check all joints of gas supply pipingsystem. Apply mixture of liquid soapand water to gas joints. Bubbles form-ing show a leak.5. Correct all leaks at once.CHECKING GASCONNECTIONSINSTALLATIONContinuedTest Pressures Equal To or Less Than1/2 PSIG (3.5 K Pa)1. Close manual shutoff valve (see Fig-ure 13).2.
