Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 34).

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply noncorrosive leak detec- tion fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
Pressure Testing Gas Supply
Piping System
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.
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 propane/LP supply tank or gas meter to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 35 or 36). Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
