How to Check a Dormont Gas Hose for Leaks
Do you suspect there might be a gas leak coming from the hose? There’s a few ways to check for that before you call a service tech.
- Test 1. Smell test - Check for a gas order around the hose and connectors.
- Test 2. Soapy water test - Spray a mixture of dish soap and water onto the hose connections. If the mixture starts to bubble, there could be a leak at that connection point.
- Test 3. Flame test - Check the burner flame of the equipment attached to the hose you suspect has a leak. The flame should be blue and not orange.
