CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections,
internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing.
or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open fl ame to check for a
leak. Apply noncorrosive leak detection fl uid to all joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System
Test Pressures In Excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect
fi replace and its individual equipment shutoff valve
from the gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa) will damage fi replace gas regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve
was
connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP
supply tank valve for propane/LP gas fi replace or opening main
gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas fi re-
place, or by using compressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping sytem. Apply noncorro-
sive leak detection fl uid to all joints at once.
5. Reconnect
fi replace and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply
Check reconnected fi ttings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see
Figure 25
).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP
supply tank valve for propane/LP gas fi replace or opening main
gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas fi re-
place, or by using compressed air.
4. Check all joints from propane/LP supply tank or gas meter to
equipment shutoff valve (see
Figure 26
for propane/LP or
Figure
27
for natural gas). Apply noncorrosive leak detection fl uid to all
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see
Figure 25
).
2. Open propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP fi replace
or main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural
gas
fi replace.
3. Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve to gas valve
(see
Figure 26
for propane/LP or
Figure 27
for natural gas,
Apply noncorrosive leak detection fl uid to all joints. Bubbles
formed show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
5. Light
fi replace (see
Operating Fireplace
, page 16 or 17 depend-
ing on ignition system). Check all other internal joints for leaks.
5. Turn off fi replace (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 16 or
page 17 depending on ignition system).
