Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint and/or resealing with thread sealant or Teflon tape, removing
•
sealant or tape in the event of a flared connection or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The
cylinder must be discarded to a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut off the gas
•
supply to the appliance and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any
of the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the appliance.
•
•
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.

The below diagram is intended to show what a leaking connection would look like. These two locations
are not the only points to check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present.
Leak Testing
All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service along with before each use.
•
This includes all valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the
burners.
All leaks must be corrected immediately. Remember-before exchanging an empty bottle for a new one; make sure
all control valves are in the "off" position. This can create a low flow of gas through the grill. This would require the
tank to be disconnected from the regulator, and then reconnected to reset the regulator.
Open the valve (shut-off or 'ON' LP tank). Test for leaks by applying liquid soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming
indicate gas leak.
