Leak Testing Procedure - Cal Flame FRP-910-3 Owner's Manual

Leak Testing Procedure

Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder
has been disconnected or not. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder
is connected to the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system
is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your fireplace
outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never smoke or permit sources of
ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as
a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
1. Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray
bottle one part liquid soap to one part water.
2. Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
3. Turn on the gas.
On natural gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the burner.
On propane systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clock-
wise one turn to open.
4. Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas
delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates
that a leak is present.
5. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty
part with a replacement part recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The
cylinder must be replaced.
6. Turn the control knob back to the full OFF position.
If you are unable to stop a leak:
1. Turn the control knob back to the full OFF position.
2. Shut off the gas supply to the fireplace and release pressure in the
hose and manifold by turning the control valve one quarter turn
counter-clockwise.
3. On propane systems, remove the cylinder from the fireplace.
4. Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an liquid
propane gas dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
