5.Correct all leaks at once.

6.Reconnect fireplace and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply. Check re- connected fittings for leaks.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1.Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 22).

2.Pressurize supply piping system by ei- ther using compressed air or opening propane/LP supply tank valve.

3.Check all joints from propane/LP sup- ply tank to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 23). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
