3. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve for
propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve
located on or near gas meter for natural gas
or using compressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system.
Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Reconnect fireplace 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 25).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve for
propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve
located on or near gas meter for natural gas
or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equipment
shutoff valve for natural gas or propane/LP sup-
ply to equipment shutoff valve for propane/LP
(see Figures 26 or 27). Apply noncorrosive
leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles
forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
