LP has an odorant added to aid in the detecting a gas leak. Some people may
not physically be able to smell or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or
unfamiliar with the smell of LP, ask the gas supplier. Other conditions such as
“odorant fade”, which causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can also hide
or camouflage a gas leak.
DANGER!
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS
• Water heaters utilizing LP gas are different from natural gas models. A gas
water heater will not function safely on LP gas and vice versa
• No attempt should ever be made to convert the water heater from LP gas. To
avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury, or fire, do not connect the
water heater to a fuel type not in accordance with the data plate.
• LP gas must be used with great caution. It is heavier than air and will collect
first in lower areas making it hard to detect at nose level.
• Before attempting to light the water heater, make sure to look and smell
for gas leaks. Use a soapy solution to check all gas fittings and connections.
Bubbling at a connection indicates a leak that must be corrected. When smelling
to detect a gas leak, be sure to sniff near the floor also.
• Gas detectors are recommended in LP and NG applications and their
installation should be in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s
recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.
