Checking For Gas Leaks - Weber 3600 Installation Manual

m DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure that there are no sparks or
open flames in the area while you check for
leaks. Sparks or open flames will result
in a fire or explosion, which can cause
serious bodily injury or death and damage
to property.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

You will need: A spray bottle, brush, or rag, and a soap
and water solution. 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.
A) Turn gas supply on at the source.
B) To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and
water solution, using a spray bottle, brush, or rag.
If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
Apply the soap and water solution to the following
connections:
a) Manifold hose-to-manifold connection (1).
b) Manifold hose-to-main bulkhead connection (2).
c) Hose-to-main bulkhead connection (3).
d) Regulator hose-to-regulator connection (4).
e) Regulator to LPG cylinder connection (5).
m WARNING: If there is a leak at
connections (1, 2, or 3), turn off the
gas, tighten the fitting with a spanner,
and recheck for leaks with soap and
water solution. If a leak persists after
tightening the fitting, turn off the gas.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.
