If so, apply a little more tightening (a small amount at a time) re-test - making sure that there is a bubble-free line.

Obviously this test also applies to the gas line. (If any of the fittings are nut and thread - remember do not over-tighten)

I trust that you do not mind my mentioning this. When coupling up a new piece of kit - the excitement of wanting to ‘have a go’, the checking that the connections are sound, may slip the mind at that moment.
Thank you so much!!!
