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 a noncorrosive leak detec- tion fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

CAUTION: If using propane/ LP gas, make sure external regulator has been installed between propane/LPsupply and appliance.

Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1.Disconnect log set and its individual equipment shutoff valve from gas supply piping system.

2.Cap off open end of gas pipe where equip- ment 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 sys- tem. Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

5.Correct all leaks at once.

6.Reconnect log set 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 4).

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 (see Figure 5, page 5) or propane/LP supply (see Figure 6, page 5) to equip- ment shutoff valve. Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

4.Correct all leaks at once.
