Pressure Testing Gas Supply
Piping System
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect fireplace and its individual
equipment shutoff valve from gas supply
piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa) will damage fireplace 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 fireplace or
opening main gas valve located on or near
gas meter for natural gas fireplace, 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 fireplace and equipment
shutoff valve to gas supply. Check re-
connected fittings for leaks.
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.
Installation Items Needed
• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not
provided)
1. Open lower louver door panel by gen-
tly pulling forward.
2. Route flexible gas line (provided by
installer) from equipment shutoff valve
to fireplace. Route flexible gas supply
line through one of the access holes on
side of fireplace or through knockout
hole on firebox bottom.
3. Attach a 45
°
flare union gas connector
to flexible gas line from gas supply (see
Figure 41). Connect flare union to flex-
ible gas line attached to gas regulator
of fireplace (see Figure 41).
4. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections.

Note: This section is intended as a guide for
qualified service technicians installing gas
to the appliance.
CAUTION: Do not connect
