Connecting Lp Tank/ Leak Testing - Kalamazoo Sculpture Brochure

CONNECTING THE LP TANK / LEAK TESTING
WARNING: Make sure that the LP tank valve is closed by turning it clockwise.
DANGER: Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no
sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. This will result in a fire or
explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.
Bubble Test: You will need an LP tank, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to
apply it. NOTE: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly
corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
1. Set the tank on bottom shelf over two slots provided. This will hold the tank
adequately in place. See diagram below.
2. Connect the hose to the cylinder. (Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve,
clockwise, or to the right. Hand tighten only). See diagram below.
3. Mix soap and water.
4. Open the tank valve. Make sure grill knobs are in the "OFF" position.
5. Check for leaks by wetting the fitting with the soap and water solution and watching
for bubbles. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
6. When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF and rinse connections with
water. If leak does not stop, turn off the gas and contact us at 1-800-868-1699. Do
not use the grill.
