LEAK TESTING
WARNING: Before using this outdoor fire pit, make sure you have read, understand and
are following all information provided in the Dangers and Warnings. Failure to follow
those instructions can cause death, serious injury or property damage.
WARNING
Never use your fire pit without leak testing all gas connections, hoses and propane tank.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
•
DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test.
•
Perform test OUTDOORS in a well-ventilated area that is protected from the wind.
•
Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
•
Never perform a leak test while the fire pit is in use or while the fire pit is still hot.
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
•
After assembling your fire pit and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully-assembled.
•
Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas components are disconnected
or replaced.
•
Any time your fire pit has been moved.
•
At least once per year or if your fire pit has not been used for more than 60 days.
CAUTION
Strong odours, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of
propane by smell. Use caution and common sense when testing for leaks.
Note: The leak test must be performed in an area that has adequate lighting in order to see if bubbles are
developing and not in a windy or noisy area so larger leaks can be detected by smell or sound.
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Ensure all control knobs are set to the OFF position.
3. Turn on the gas at the cylinder valve. Turn the cylinder valve knob counter-clockwise until
fully opened. If you hear a rushing sound or smell gas, turn the gas off. Tighten any leaking
connections. If the leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not stop leak, re-inspect
propane tank rubber seal.
4. Apply the soapy water mixture to the following:
A) Supply tank (cylinder) welds
C) Back side of connection nut to brass nipple
E) Regulator connections to gas supply hoses
G) The full length of gas supply hose
5. Check each place listed (A-H) for growing bubbles, which indicates a leak. Large leaks may not be
detected by bubbles but should produce a rushing sound or gas smell.
6. Turn off gas supply at cylinder valve.
7. Turn on control knobs to release gas pressure in hose.
8. Turn control knobs to OFF position.
9. Tighten any leaking connections. If leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not stop
leak, re-inspect propane tank rubber seal.
10. Repeat soapy water test until no leaks are detected.
11. Turn off gas supply at cylinder valve until you are ready to use your fire pit.
12. Wash off soapy residue with cold water and towel dry.
CAUTION
Natural Gas leak testing is similar to LP Gas leak testing. The difference is you
need to apply the soapy water mixture to the gas supply pipe nipple.
B) Connection nut to tank valve
D) Brass nipple connection into regulator
F) Hose connection to gas manifold
H) Tank valve to cylinder
