SÓLAS
CONTEMPORARY FIRE
8
The gas fireplace is shipped with a 3/8" tube OD (male
flare) connection. The gas supply piping should have a
separate gas shutoff valve and a 1/8" NPT plugged tapping
upstream of the valve. The stove and its main control
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The stove must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the
main control valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressures equal to or greater than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). After the gas supply has been connected,
use a commercial gas leak detector or apply a soapy water
solution to all the fittings to check for gas leaks. Never use
a flame to test for leaks.
