3.Remove the gas line cover plate from the fireplace’s outer surround at the location to be used. Remove insulation from inside the gas line conduit sleeve. Run gas line through until the regulator can be reached.
4.Apply pipe sealant lightly to male threads of gas connector attached to flexible gas line (see figure 15). Connect flexible gas line to flexible gas line attached to gas inlet gas valve of fireplace. (Fig 14).

5.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections, below.
6.Place log base assembly completely into the fireplace.
CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System Test Pressures in Excess of ½ PSIG
1.Disconnect the fireplace and its individual manual shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of ½ psig will damage the fireplace gas regulator.
2.Cap off the open end of gas pipe where manual shutoff valve was connected.
3.Pressurize supply piping system by either using compressed air or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter.
4.Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5.Correct all leaks at once.
6.
Test Pressures Equal to or Less Than ½ PSIG
1.Close manual shutoff valve (see Figure 16)
2.Pressurize supply piping system by either using compressed air or opening propane supply tank valve.
3.Check all joints from propane supply tank (see fig 24). Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4.Correct all leaks at once.
Pressure Testing Fireplace Gas Connections
1.Open manual shutoff valve (see figure 16).
2.Open propane supply tank valve.
3.Make sure control knob of fireplace is in OFF position.
Figure 16 - Manual Shutoff Valve
4.Check all joints from manual shutoff valve to gas valve (see Figure 17). Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5.Correct all leaks at once.
6.Light the fireplace (see Operating Instructions). Check all other internal joints for leaks.
7.Turn off the fireplace (see Operating Instructions).
