INSTALLATION
Continued
3.Route gas supply line through access open- ing of fireplace insert (see Figure 15).
NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit concealed gas con- nections. A flexible gas line is provided to allow accessibility from the fireplace (see Figure 16). The flexible gas supply line con- nection to the equipment shutoff valve should be accessible.
4.Connect gas supply line to flexible gas line attached to gas regulator of fireplace insert (see Figure 16). Use sealant on all male pipe threads.
5.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections.
6.Replace log base assembly back into fireplace insert. Feed flexible gas line into fireplace in- sert base area while replacing log base assem- bly. Make sure the entire flexible gas line is in fireplace insert base area. Reattach log base assembly to fireplace insert with screws re- moved in step 2, page 13.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas pip- ing and connections, internal and external to unit, 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 noncorrosive leak de- tection 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 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 insert gas regulator.
2.Cap off open end of gas pipe where equip- ment shutoff valve was connected.
3.Pressurize supply piping system by either open- ing propane/LP supply tank for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter or using compressed air.
4.Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5.Correct all leaks at once.
6.Reconnect fireplace insert and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply. Check reconnected fittings for leaks.
