CHECKING GAS

CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas pip- ing and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Cor- rect all leaks at once.

WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

CAUTION: Make sure external regulator has been installed be- tween propane/LP supply and fire- place. See guidelines under Con- necting to Gas Supply, page 11.

Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG

1.Disconnect fireplace and its individual manual shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig will damage fireplace regulator.

2.Cap off open end of gas pipe where manual shutoff valve was connected.

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

4.Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles form- ing show a leak.

5.Correct all leaks at once.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG

1.Close manual shutoff valve (see Figure 20).

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 manual shutoff valve (see Figure 21). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

4.Correct all leaks at once.

Pressure Testing Fireplace Gas Connections

1.Open manual shutoff valve (see Figure 20).

2.Open propane/LP supply tank valve.

3.Make sure control knob of fireplace is in the OFF position.

4.Check all joints from manual shutoff valve to thermostat gas valve (see Fig- ure 19). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles form- ing show a leak.

5.Correct all leaks at once.

6.Light fireplace (see Operating Fire- place, pages 14 and 15). Check all other internal joints for leaks.
