1. Disconnect appliance with its appliance
main gas valve (control valve) and equip-
ment shutoff valve from gas supply piping
system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
will damage heater 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 or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter for
natural gas 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.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Reconnect fireplace and equipment
shutoff valve to gas supply. Check recon-
nected ttings for leaks.

1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 16).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve
for propane/LP gas or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter for
natural gas or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equip-
ment shutoff valve for natural gas or pro-
pane/LP supply to equipment shutoff valve
for propane/LP (see Figures 17 or 18).
Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 16).
2. Open main gas valve located on or near
gas meter for natural gas or open pro-
pane/LP supply tank valve.
3. Make sure control knob of replace is in
the OFF position.
4.
Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve
to gas regulator (Thermostat-Controlled
Models) or to gas control valve (Remote-
Ready Models) (see Figures 17 or 18). Apply
noncorrosive leak detection uid to all joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Light replace (see Operation, page 18).
Check all other internal joints for leaks.
7. Turn off replace (see To Turn Off Gas
to Appliance, page 19 for Thermostat-
Controlled Models or page 20 for Remote-
Ready Models).
