Tested my fireplace today and it will not light. There is propane in the tank, the valves are open, and batteries in the remote and backup ones are fresh. I recently replaced the house propane line to the furnace and fireplace. Furnace works fine. Could there be an airlock? Is that possible and if so how would I clear this on an IFT system. Appreciate some advice. Thanks.
 
How long is the new line to the fireplace ? If nobody bled the line by opening up a fitting at the fireplace it could take a long time to get gas to the pilot . Its only going through pin hole at the pilot so it will take some time to get all the air out of that line
