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 fire- place, or using compressed air.

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

5.Reconnect fireplace and equipment shutoff valve to gas sup- ply. 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 33).

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 fire- place, or using compressed air.

3.Check all joints from propane/LP supply tank or gas meter to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 34, for propane/LP or Fig- ure 35, page 21, for natural gas). Apply noncorrosive leak de- tection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Cor- rect all leaks at once.

WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply noncorrosive leak detection 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 equipment shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) will damage fireplace gas regulator.
