Pressure Testing Gas Supply
Piping System
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
1.
Disconnect appliance with its appliance
main gas valve (control valve) and equip-
ment shutoff valve from gas supply pip-
ing system. Pressures in excess of 1/2
psig will damage fireplace gas regulator.
2.
Cap off open end of gas pipe where
equipment shutoff valve was connected.
3.
Pressurize supply piping system by ei-
ther using compressed air or opening
propane/LP supply tank valve.
4.
Check all joints of gas supply piping
system. Apply mixture of liquid soap
and water to gas joints. Bubbles form-
ing show a leak.
5.
Correct all leaks at once.
6.
Reconnect fireplace and equipment
shutoff valve to gas supply. Check re-
connected fittings for leaks.
CHECKING GAS
CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas pip-
ing and connections for leaks
after installing or servicing. Cor-
rect all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open
flame to check for a leak. Apply a
mixture of liquid soap and water
to all joints. Bubbles forming show
a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1.
Close equipment shutoff valve (see
Figure 27).
2.
Pressurize supply piping system by ei-
ther using compressed air or opening
propane/LP supply tank valve.
3.
Check all joints from propane/LP sup-
ply to equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 28, page 16). Apply mixture of liq-
uid soap and water to gas joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
