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.

  CAUTION:  Make  sure  exter-

nal  regulator  has  been  installed 

between  propane/LP  supply  and 

fireplace. See guidelines under 

Con-

necting to Gas Supply

, page 16.

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 equipment shut-

off valve from gas supply piping. Pressures 

in excess of 1/2 psig will damage fireplace 

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 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 a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to 

gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. 

5.  Correct all leaks at once.
6.  Reconnect heater 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 for natural or 

propane/LP supply to equipment shutoff valve 

(see Figures 26 and 27). Apply a noncorrosive 

leak  detection  fluid  to  gas  joints.  Bubbles 

forming show a leak. 

4.  Correct all leaks at once.
