Dear Lajos Kamocsay,=20

After making sure that all unions are pulled tight it is usual practice =
to pressurise your system then check for leakage by spraying or painting =
a soap solution on all connections. Look for tell tale bubbles which =
might be quite minute. IF these are seen, pinch the joint up tighter . =
If the bubbles do not stop, turn off the pressure and check the seatings =
of your joints. You can also get a mastic type material which acts as a =
flexible non drying seal from your gas appliance supplier.

Hope that helps,
