Testing for Leaks
Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the
gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In
addition, anytime the gas cylinder is connected to the
regulator or any part of the gas system is disconnected
or replaced, conduct 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 only a leak testing solution
as specified below.
