Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 18).
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
supply to equipment shutoff valve for propane/
LP (see Figure 19). Apply noncorrosive leak
detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming
show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
PRESSURE TESTING HEATER GAS
CONNECTIONS
1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 18).
2. Open main gas valve located on or near gas
meter for natural gas or open propane/LP
supply tank valve.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the OFF
position.
4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff
valve to thermostat gas valve (Thermostat-
Controlled Models), to control valve (Manu-
ally-Controlled Models), or to gas control
(Remote-Ready Models) (see Figures 19 and
20). Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid
to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Light heater (see
Operating Heater
, page 19).
Check all other internal joints for leaks.
7. Turn off heater (see
To Turn Off Gas to Appli-
ance
, page 20 for Thermostat-Controlled mod-
els, page 22 for Manually-Controlled Models,
or page 24 for Remote-Ready Models).

INSTALLING LOGS
WARNING: Failure to posi-
tion the parts in accordance
with these diagrams or failure
to use only parts specifically
approved with this heater may
result in property damage or
personal injury.
Each log is marked with a number. These numbers
will help you identify the log when installing. It
is very important to install these logs exactly as
instructed. Do not modify logs. Only use logs
supplied with heater.
1. Place front log (#1 for 18", #1a and #1b for
24" and 30") on top of the grate. Make sure
the notches in the bottom of the log fits over
the grate prongs (see Figure 21, page 18). Push
back of logs flush with metal grate bar. Logs
for 24" and 30" should fit with ends touching
and a small realistic crack in the center.
