Procedure
10 G—GM-20/25 and GM-40/45 Series Dual-block Multi-function Gas Control Valves Technical Bulletin
!
WARNING: Fire or explosion hazard. Verify that the valve
functions properly and there are no gas leaks. Follow
this checkout procedure before leaving the installation.
Failure to verify proper valve installation, equipment
operation, and gas tight connections may result in fire,
explosion, property damage, and injuries or death.
1. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff valve and open the
pressure connection between the manual shutoff valve and the GM
valve.
2. Connect air tubing with a maximum pressure of 1-1/2 times the
valve's maximum operating pressure (as indicated on the valve) to the
opened pressure connection.
3. Paint the pipe connections and flanges of the valve with a rich soap
and water solution to check for leakage.
If bubbles occur, this is an indication of a leak. To stop a leak, tighten
joints and pipe connections. Replace the part if the leak cannot be
stopped.
If bubbles do not occur, remove the air tubing and close the upstream
pressure connection.
4. Open the main manual shutoff valve.
5. Refer to the Adjustments section to make any necessary valve setting
adjustments.
!
WARNING: Fire or explosion hazard. Valve settings must be in
accordance with the appliance or equipment
manufacturer's specifications.
6. Before leaving the installation, observe at least three complete
operating cycles to ensure that all components are functioning
correctly.
