Disconnect appliance with its appliancemain gas valve (control valve) andequipment shutoff valve from gas sup-ply piping system. Pressures in excessof 1/2 psig will damage fireplace gasregulator.2. Cap off open end of gas pipe whereequipment shutoff valve was connected.3. Pressurize supply piping system by ei-ther using compressed air or openingmain gas valve located on or near gasmeter.4. Check all joints of gas supply pipingsystem. Apply mixture of liquid soapand water to gas joints. Bubbles form-ing show a leak.5. Correct all leaks at once.6. Reconnect fireplace and equipmentshutoff valve to gas supply. Check re-connected fittings for leaks.CHECKING GASCONNECTIONSWARNING: Test all gas pip-ing and connections for leaksafter installing or servicing. Cor-rect all leaks at once.WARNING: Never use an openflame to check for a leak. Apply amixture of liquid soap and waterto all joints. Bubbles forming showa leak. Correct all leaks at once.INSTALLATIONContinuedPressure Testing Fireplace GasConnections1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-ure 19).2. Open main gas valve located on or neargas meter.3. Make sure control knob of fireplace isin the OFF position.4. Check all joints from equipment shutoffvalve to thermostat gas valve (see Fig-ure 20).
