Procedure For Checking Gas Pressure From The Fireplace Valve; Checking Gas Lines For Tightness - J. A. Roby SUROIT / RGV-25 Installation And Operation Manual

• The fireplace must be disconnected from the gas supply system when components that measure intake gas
pressure are being installed. Once the gas supply is reconnected, check all connections as well as the gas
meter (or tank) connected to the fireplace for tightness. Make sure there are no leaks (sees section 6.6).
6.5 PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING GAS PRESSURE FROM THE
FIREPLACE VALVE
• Make sure the manual valve is closed.
• Loosen the input "IN" and/or the output
"OUT" pressure verification port(s) by
turning counter clockwise with a 1/8 in.
(3 mm) wide screwdriver (figure 6.5).
• Connect the pressure gauge to the
input "IN" and/or output "OUT" pressure
verification port(s) using a rubber hose
with a 5/16 in. (8 mm) inner diameter.
• Open the manual valve (you will get
the intake pressure).
• Turn on the fireplace to check outlet pressure.
• When you are done reading the pressure gauge, turn off the fireplace, close the manual valve, disconnect
the hose and tighten the screw(s) (clockwise) with a small flat screwdriver (1/8 in. wide).
Make sure the output pressure of the automatic valve is comprised between the numbers listed in this table.

CHECKING GAS LINES FOR TIGHTNESS

• Fill a spray bottle (figure 6.6) with soapy water (5% soap, 95% water).
• Spray liberally over all screwed gas line connections (from the tank to the fireplace).
• If no bubbles appear it means the assembly is tight.
• If there are bubbles, it means there is a gas leak. If this occurs, immediately refer to
section 1.2.1 and follow instructions.
WARNING:
Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
