CONNECTING FIREpLACE TO GAS

SUppLY

Installation Items Needed
• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not
provided)
1. Route exible gas line (provided by in-
staller) from equipment shutoff valve to
replace. Route exible gas supply line
through one of the access holes on side
of replace.
2. Attach exible gas line from gas supply to
control valve (see Figure 22).
3. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections.

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 ame to check for a leak. Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid 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 replace and its individual
equipment shutoff valve from gas supply
piping system. Pressures in excess of
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) will damage replace
gas regulator.
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 replace or opening
main gas valve located on or near gas
meter for natural gas replace or using
compressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping sys-
tem. Apply noncorrosive leak detection
uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak. Correct all leaks at once.
5. Reconnect fireplace and equipment
shutoff valve to gas supply. Check recon-
nected ttings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. C lose equ ipmen t s hutof f v alve (se e
Figure 23).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve
for propane/LP gas replace or opening
main gas valve located on or near gas
meter for natural gas replace or using
compressed air.
3. Check all joints from propane/LP supply
tank or gas meter to equipment shutoff
valve (see Figure 24 or Figure 25, page
17). Apply noncorrosive leak detection
uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
