That is exactly the way the guy checked it for a gas hot water heater install. I asked what happened when there was a leak, he said it would just be a pinhole and at most a tiny blue flame would show. Turn off gas, touch up/reflow with torch, etc.
yeah,that's what the guy who did my water heater install did....sez the gas pressure is super low anyway....of course we're talking a no permit done in 2 hours including going to home depot twice kinda job but over a year later all good

I usually just take my bic lighter , turn the gas on , and check all the joints with some flame..works really good

That's how I check as well.
🙃
I've checked small connections with a flame as well, but always check major runs with pressure and for pressure decay.

Greywolf is obviously correct …..my last hot water heater install , I checked for leaks with some soapy water in a spray bottle

i only used my bic lighter when I was young and a big dummy

now I am old and try not to be so dumb
Yep. That's how I test my Propane or natural gas appliances. Stove was giving some slight smells. Especially behind. Doesn't the old bendable type connector, the whole thing fizzed. Trip to home Depot, still works.

I picked Stella Blue up from getting fixed. The poor little girl is tripping her whiskers off. Her eyes are as big as quarters and her pupils are so dilated there's no color left. She's walking into walls and furniture left and right and staring off into another world. I need to get her to a Dead show asap. Where is Bobby playing?

The vet says to keep her still. How the f is one supposed to keep an energetic kitten still. Especially when they are in the spirit world.

To make matters worse she has a stupid cone on her head that she's trying to rip off between her waves off consciousness and her fits of delusional hyper hysteria.

Gonna be a long long night in the S&S household.
