White Rodgers gas leak from vent
I’m a owner of Bosch furnace BGH96. Few days ago just finished installing gas line to unit, gas line was tested no leaks so I connected line to the furnace gas ball valve - pressure gauge - union - drip leg - and finally gas valve 2 stage white rodgers 36J54-214 (converted to lpg gas) purge air from line by drip leg and another test, start at 1st try
Cool, but I decide to close the gas ball valve and check if there’s no leak, after few minutes pressure was little dropping, takes 2,5h to drop from 11WC to 0 in 1/2 black iron pipe about 4ft long from ball valve to gas valve, after long search found leak by bubbles method it was regulator vent on gas valve it doesn’t matter if gas valve is in on or off position it’s still leaking from 11WC to 0 in 2,5h sometimes 2h
Is it normal? Or I need to call Bosch to replace that valve? As it for me it’s a lot of gas per year
