Monessen Hearth KHLDV SERIES manual Checking GAS Pressure and Electrical Installation, Gas leaks

Page 25

CHECKING GAS PRESSURE AND ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

1.Check gas type. The gas supply must be the same as stated on the appliance’s rating decal. If the gas supply is different from the fireplace, STOP! Do not install the appliance. Contact your dealer immediately.

2.To ease installation, a 24" (mm) flex line with manual shut-off valve has been provided with on this appli- ance. Install and attach 3/8" gas line onto shut-off valve.

3.After completing gas line connection, purge air from gas line and test all gas joints from the gas meter to the fireplace for leaks. Use a solution of 50/50 water and soap solution or a gas sniffer.

4.To adjust flame height, turn HI/LO knob to HI to get maximum pressure to burner. Turn HI/LO knob to LO to get minimum pressure. NOTE: To make the process of checking the gas pressure easier, unfasten the two screws which secure the gas valve to the side of the firebox and bring forward. [Remove the glass to allow the valve to come forward. (See page 29 for glass removal.)] When done, you must refasten the gas valve into place.

5.To check gas pressures at valve, turn captured screw counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing to pressure gauge over test point. Turn unit to high. See Figure 25. After taking pressure reading, be sure and turn captured screw clockwise firmly to reseal. Do not over torque. Check test points for gas leaks.
