It's a tightness test at th appliance. Put your manometer on the inlet and shu off the gas to the appliance. Then do your test on the appliance only.

its a safety check what your talking about basically what you said its to make sure that gas is not passing after the safety device, thermocouple for instance has clicked and shut the valve

its how you "confirm" a thermo electric valve is shutting off, i wish i had £1 for every re-assessment candidate who describes the procedure as "listen for the click, then you know its shut" one of the few things that drive me mental during ACS

Kirk if the valve dosent shut off does this mean the valve needs replacing?
