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 either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas fireplace or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas fireplace or using compressed air.

3.Check all joints from propane/LP supply tank or gas meter to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 34, for propane/LP or Figure 35, for natural gas). Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all

leaks at once.
