CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

5.Reconnect fireplace and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply. 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 52).

2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas fireplace or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas fireplace or using compressed air.

3. Check all joints from propane/LP supply tank or gas meter to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 53, for propane/LP or Figure 54, for natural gas). Apply noncorrosive leak detec- tion fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG

(3.5 kPa)

1. Disconnect fireplace and its individual equip- ment shutoff valve from 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 valve was connected.

3. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas fireplace or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas fireplace or using compressed air.

4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
