• It is heavier than air and will collect first in lower areas
making if hard to detect at nose level.
• Make sure to look and smell for LP leaks before
attempting to light appliance. Use a soapy solution to
check aJl gas fittings and connections. B_bbiing at a
connection indicates a leak that must be corrected.
When smelling to detect an LP leak, be sure to sniff
near the floor too.
, Gas detectors are recommended in LP applications
and their installation should be in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations
and/or local laws,
rules, regulations or customs.
• It is recommended that more than one method be used
to detect leaks in LP applications.
IF LP GAS IS PRESENT OR SUSPECTED:
