What is a Leak Check?
Once the LP tank is properly installed, it is necessary
to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way
to verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the
tank. The fuel system in your grill features factory-
made connections that have been thoroughly checked
for gas leaks and the burners have been flame-tested.
Weber recommends performing a thorough leak check
after assembly, as well as annually. The following
fittings should be tested:
• Where the regulator connects to the tank.
• Where the gas hose connects to the bulkhead.
• Where the bulkhead connects to the corrugated gas
line.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1) Wet fittings (G) with a soap and water solution,
using a spray bottle, brush, or rag. 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.
2) Slowly open gas supply by turning tank valve
counterclockwise while checking for bubbles.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (H), turn off the gas.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Disconnect the
tank and return the tank to your local retailer.
b) If the leak is at the regulator (I), turn off the
gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area
using the contact information on our website.
c) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in
illustration (J), re-tighten fitting with a wrench
and recheck for leaks with soap and water
solution. If leak persists, turn off the gas. DO NOT
OPERATE THE GRILL.
d) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in
illustration (K), turn off the gas. DO NOT
OPERATE THE GRILL.
If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact
information on our website.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
a) Turn gas supply off at the tank and rinse
connections with water.
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.
