Test Factory and Field Connections for Gas Leaks
WARNING
Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
1.
Turn ON the gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a gas leak test solution—also known as bubble leak solution.
NOTE:
Using a soapy water solution is an effective leak test solution but it is not recommended, because the
soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion over time.
2.
Light the fireplace (refer to the lighting instructions label in the control compartment or
Page 50
).
3.
Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas
odor is detected, turn the gas control knob to the OFF position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection,
and then retest as described above.
4.
When the gas lines are tested and leak free, rinse off the leak testing solution
11.
Verify Proper Fireplace Operation
1.
With the gas line installed, inspect the system before closing the front of the unit.
2.
Follow the pilot lighting instructions (
Page 63
).
NOTE:
When lighting the fireplace for the first time, it will take a few minutes for the gas line to purge itself of air.
When purged, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated. Subsequent lighting of the fireplace will not
require purging. Inspect the pilot flame (carefully remove logs, if necessary).
3.
To light the burner, turn ON the wall or (optional) remote control switch. Ensure the igniter lights the pilot. The
pilot flame should engulf the flame rod (
Figure 32
).
