Hold a lighted match or cigarette near the top edge of the fireplace opening and play it along the entire length of the opening (see Figure 12). - Page 12 Figure 17. CAUTION: Do not kink flex- ible gas line. DESA recommends that a black iron gas line be routed from the gas source, through a sediment trap (shown in Figure 18) and into the appliance. Once connected through the appliance, a flexible gas line may be used for ease of installation to gas control valve (see Figure 19, page 13).
- Page 13 InstallatIon Continued CAUTION: Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of Liquefied Petroleum (LP or propane) and should be applied lightly to ensure excess sealant does not enter the gas line. WARNING: All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after the installation is completed. After ensuring that the gas valve is on, apply a commercial leak detection solution to all con- nections and joints. If bubbles appear, leaks can be detected and corrected.
