LEAK TEST

With the cylinder connected to
the heater. Open the cylinder
valve.
•
Brush the connections (heater
to cylinder) with a solution of
equal parts soap and water
(make sure it's foamy).
•
A stream of bubbles forming in-
dicates a gas leak. (See Fig.J)
•
If bubbles appear, turn the
cylinder valve OFF (clockwise)
and disconnect the heater from
the gas cylinder.
•
Tighten the connection and
retry the leak test.
•
If you are unsure or if you
cannot tighten the connection,
place the cylinder outside in a
cool, well-ventilated area and
contact Alva on 086 100 ALVA
(2582).

A leak between the heater and
cylinder can lead to a high
pressure fire, which is very
dangerous and can result in
extensive injury or even death.
