Disconnect fireplace and its individual equipment shutoff valvefrom gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig(3.5 kPa) will damage fireplace gas regulator.2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valvewas connected.3. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LPsupply tank valve for propane/LP gas fireplace or opening maingas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas fire-place, or using compressed air.4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply noncorro-sive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show aleak. Correct all leaks at once.5. Reconnect fireplace and equipment shutoff valve to gas sup-ply. 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 33).2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LPsupply tank valve for propane/LP gas fireplace or opening maingas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas fire-place, or using compressed air.3. Check all joints from propane/LP supply tank or gas meter toequipment shutoff valve (see Figure 34 for propane/LP or Figure35 for natural gas). Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to alljoints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.Pressure Testing Fireplace Gas Connections1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 33).2. Open propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP fireplaceor main gas valve located on or near gas meter for naturalgas fireplace.3. Make sure control knob of fireplace is in the OFF position.4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve to gas valve(see Figure 34 for propane/LP or Figure 35 for natural gas).Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubblesforming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONSWARNING: Test all gas piping and connections,internal and external to unit, for leaks after installingor servicing. Correct all leaks at once.WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for aleak. Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints.Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.OpenClosedEquipmentShutoffValveFigure 34 - Checking Gas Joints for Propane/LP Gas FireplacePropane/LPSupply TankGas ValveEquipmentShutoffValveFigure 33 - Equipment Shutoff ValveFigure 35 - Checking Gas Joints for Natural Gas FireplaceGasMeterGas ValveEquipmentShutoffValveFIREPLACE INSTALLATIONContinuedFIREPLACE INSTALLATIONChecking Gas Connections5. Light fireplace (see Operating Fireplace, page 25). Check allother internal joints for leaks.6. Turn off fireplace (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 25).
