I’m not inspector(yet),but service gas equipment.


Pilot tubes are a good place to ck but other wise if lines haven’t been moved don’t worry unless smell is present.


When you ? over sensitivity of meter use soap bubbles on joint so you can understand the size of leak and weather theres anything to report.

I have a Tiff 8800 but seldom use it. I use the old nose first and then the TIFF to pin point a leak if I smell gas. I also carry a small squeeze bottle with soap and water.



Slainte!

So what do you do when you "smell’ gas and you can’t necessarily


find the leak but you notice the smell only while the power vent is

running. After about 5min you feel funny. This system also has a gas water heater. Vented through the same power vent?
