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 flame to check for a leak.
Apply a noncorrosive leak detec-
tion fluid 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 log set and its individual equip
-
ment shutoff valve from gas supply piping
system.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equip
-
ment shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either
using compressed air or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping sys
-
tem. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection
fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Reconnect log set and equipment shutoff
valve to gas supply. Check reconnected
fittings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see
Figure 5).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either
using compressed air or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equip
-
ment shutoff valve (see Figure 5). Apply
a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.

HEARTH PAN INSTALLATION
If using propane/LP gas, see
Propane/LP
Gas Conversion,
page 8, before installing
hearth pan.
1. Place the burner pan assembly in the
center of the fireplace floor. Make sure
the front of pan faces forward.
2. Thread the gas supply fitting to the fire
-
place gas supply pipe. Adjust to most
convenient position.
3. Install the gas connector tube to the gas
supply adapter. Carefully shape tube and
attach to gas inlet fitting (see Figure 6).
Be careful not to cause kinks in tube.
4. Test for leaks following instructions under
Testing Burner for Leaks
, page 10.
5. Retighten and adjust the location of
the gas control as necessary. The gas
control should be level, with the control
rod to the front.
