Leak testing is about ensuring the gas delivery system is completely gas-tight before it’s put into service. Any leak, even a small one, can allow fuel to accumulate and ignite, creating a serious fire or explosion hazard. By conducting the test, you identify leaks in lines and connections so they can be repaired, preventing ignition of leaked fuel and protecting people and equipment. This safety-focused step also aligns with required codes and insurance measures. While regulator calibration or flame tuning are part of commissioning, they don’t address the critical safety risk that leak testing targets.
