a.  Use a soapy water solution.  DO NOT test for gas leaks 
using a match or open flame.
b.  Brush the soapy water solution on all gas pipes, joints, 
and fittings. Use care that excess solution does not 
enter the control’s plastic housing.  
c.  Check for bubbling soap. This means you have a leak.  
Turn OFF the gas and make the necessary repairs.
d.  Turn on the gas and recheck for leaks. Repeat this 
process until you are sure the system is gas-tight. If 
repeated work on a part does not stop the leak, the 
part must be replaced.
e.  Rinse off the soapy solution and wipe all the plumbing 
parts dry.
