Silky Terrier Dog Breed Playing AroundLike wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces have a season. Turning on a gas fireplace is typically as easy as flipping a switch. However, if it’s the start of the cold season or you haven’t used your gas fireplace in at least two months, you’ll want to bleed the lines first. Air holes can form in the lines of your fireplace while it is not in use. It is necessary to bleed pilot gas lines, although it is not difficult. Simply ensure that you follow the instructions.
To Get Started:
Make sure you’re in a well-ventilated area and that there are no open fires in the vicinity. Locate the gas line shut-off valve assembly for your fireplace. Turn the valve assembly parallel to the gas line to open it. Then, either at the bottom of the fireplace box or behind the logs, look for the pilot assembly. Locate the ignition switch. It’s generally red or black in color. Push the igniter button after that. Where the pilot assembly is placed, there should be a blue spark. A pilot light can be standing or electronic, but it must illuminate and stay lit in order to create heat. To keep the pilot light burning, check sure there isn’t any air in the gas line.
Control Knob for Gas Valve:
You’ll need to find the control knob for the gas valve. Push it in and turn it counterclockwise until the word “Pilot” or “Ignition” appears in the “On” position. It should push inward a quarter of an inch when maintained in this position.
The Lines Are Bleeding:
Press the igniter button repeatedly while pressing the valve control knob in until the pilot ignites. As the gas starts to flow, it might take anywhere from one to ten minutes to bleed air out of the pipes.
Continue to push the valve knob inward for 30 seconds after the pilot is ignited before releasing it. Turn the valve to the “On” position now that the pilot light has lit. Start the operation over if the pilot light goes out. As long as the pilot light remains burning, your fireplace should operate smoothly and safely as long as you use it regularly.
