Check for gas leaks
ƽ 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. Sparks or open flames will result in
a fire or explosion which can cause
serious bodily injury or death and damage
to property.
ƽ WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
Note - All factory-made connections have been
thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners have
been flame-tested. As a safety precaution however,
you should recheck all fittings for leaks before using
your Weber Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may
loosen or damage a gas fitting.
ƽ WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if
your barbecue was dealer or store assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or
brush to apply it.
To perform leak checks: Slide back the collar of the
quick disconnect. Push male fitting of the hose into the
quick disconnect, and maintain pressure(1). Slide the
collar closed(2). If it does not engage or lock, repeat
procedure. Gas will not flow unless the quick
disconnect is properly engaged.
Turn on gas supply.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the
soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If
bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
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.
ƽ WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak
checking.
Gas Line Piping
■ If the length of the line required does not exceed 50
feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be
used for lengths greater than 50 feet.
■ Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L;
polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall
thickness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule
40) steel or wrought iron pipe.
■ Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains
more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic
feet of gas.
■ Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor,
underground use.
■ Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other
material which may corrode the piping, must be
protected against corrosion in an approved manner.
■ Underground piping must have a minimum of 18"
cover
Test Connections
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested
for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed
procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1
