CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas pip-
ing and connections, internal
and external to unit, for leaks
after installing or servicing. Cor-
rect all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an
open ame to check for a leak.
Apply a noncorrosive leak detec-
tion uid 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
replace. See guidelines under
Connecting Fireplace to Gas
Supply, page 15.
PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY
PIPING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect replace with its appliance main
gas valve (control valve) and equipment
shutoff valve from gas supply piping system.
Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig will damage
replace 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 noncorrosive leak detection uid to all
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Reconnect replace and equipment shutoff
valve to gas supply. Check reconnected t-
tings for leaks.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1.
Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 22).
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 Figures 23 or 24). Apply
