STEP 4: Repack insulation around gas line and into sleeve
opening. Seal any gaps between gas line and refractory
knockout hole with refractory cement or commercial furnace
cement. Install the gas appliance or cap-off gas line if desired.
CAUTION: 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 connections and joints. Bubbles forming
show a leak. Correct all leaks at once. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING AND DO NOT
OPERATE ANY APPLIANCE IF A LEAK IS
DETECTED. LEAK TESTING SHOULD BE DONE BY
A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.
