Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1.
Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 20).
2.
Pressurize supply piping system by either
using compressed air or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter.
3.

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
1.
Disconnect fireplace with its main gas
valve (control valve) and equipment
shutoff valve from gas supply piping sys-
tem. 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 con-
nected.
3.
Pressurize supply piping system by either
using compressed air or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter.

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.
