CONNECTING STOVE AND BURNER SYSTEM TO GAS SUPPLY
Installation Items Needed
•5/16" hex socket wrench or
•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided)
1.Open lower door panel.
2.Route flexible gas line (provided by installer) from equipment shutoff valve to burner system. Route flexible gas supply line through slot in stove bot- tom and attach to valve.
3.Attach a 45° flare union gas connector to flexible gas line from gas supply (see Figure 32). Connect flare union to flex- ible gas line attached to gas regulator of fireplace (see Figure 32).
4.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections.

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 commercial leak test solution to all gas 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 appliance with its appliance main gas valve (control valve) and equipment shutoff valve from gas supply piping systems. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) will damage burner system gas regulator.
2.Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was con- nected.
3.Pressurize supply piping system by ei- ther opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas burner sys- tem or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas burner system, or using compressed air.
4.Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply commercial leak test so- lution to all gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
5.Reconnect burner system and equip- ment 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 33).
2.Pressurize supply piping system by ei- ther opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas burner sys- tem or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas burner system, or using compressed air.
3.Check all joints from propane/LP sup- ply tank or gas meter to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 34 for pro- pane/LP or Figure 35 for natural). Ap- ply commercial leak test solution to all gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
Pressure Testing Burner System Gas Connections
1.Open equipment shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 33).
2.Open propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP burner system or main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas burner system.
3.Make sure control knob of burner sys- tem is in the OFF position.
4.Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve to thermostat gas valve (see Fig- ure 34 for propane/LP or Figure 35 for natural, page 15). Apply commercial leak test solution to all gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
5.Light burner system (see Lighting In- structions, page 19). Check all other in- ternal joints for leaks.
6.Turn off burner system (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 19).
