How you can use gas safely:
Nothing like a backyard bbq. But to ensure things run smoothly, your gas line needs to be correctly and safely connected.
- Inspect your hose, fittings and seals. They should not have any signs of splitting or wear. If they do, they need to be replaced.
- Tighten all your connections securely.
Testing your connections:
Test that there are no gas leaks by brushing soapy water on all your connections.
- Mix a small amount of washing detergent with water.
- You can put the soapy water in a spray bottle, or just a dish.
- Making sure your BBQ is switched off, turn on your gas bottle.
- Apply your soapy water on all of the connections, and over the hose.
- If you have any gas leaks, you’ll notice bubbles appearing.
- Turn your gas off immediately if you detect a leak.
