3.Attach the flexible gas line to gas supply (see Figure 26). Check tightness of flexible gas line attached to gas regulator of fireplace (see Figure 26).
4.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections.
5.Replace fireplace floor assembly. Feed flexible gas line into fireplace base area while replacing fireplace floor assembly. Make sure the entire flexible gas line is in fireplace base area.
Note: Be careful of wires and components on underside of fireplace floor. Reattach fireplace floor assembly with screws removed in step 3 of Removing Fireplace Screen and Floor Assembly, page 9.

WARNING: Never use an | ||
open flame to check for a leak. | ||
Apply a noncorrosive leak detec- | ||
tion fluid to all joints. Bubbles | ||

WARNING: For propane/LP units, make sure external regula- tor has been installed between propane/LP supply and heater. See guidelines under Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Loca- tion, page 17.
PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1.Disconnect appliance with its appliance main gas valve (control valve) and equipment shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig 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 or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas 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.
5.Correct all leaks at once.
6.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 27).
2.Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for 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 gas meter for natural gas or propane/LPsupply to equipment shutoff valve for propane/LP gas (see Figures 28 or 29, page 20). Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4.Correct all leaks at once.
