LDVR Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
10007317
Installation
1. Thread the wiring through the holes on the end panels
of the fireplace. Take care not to cut the wire or insula-
tion on metal edges. Route the wire to a conveniently
located receptacle box.
. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the
switch into the receptacle box.
3. Connect the other ends of the wire to the gas control
valve. (Fig. 6)
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of the
appliance as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided
on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe
installation and testing of any gas connection. It is most
convenient to bring the gas line in from the rear right side of
the valve as this allows fan installation or removal without
disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with properly tinned
3/8” copper tubing, 3/8” rigid pipe or an approved flex con-
nector. Since some municipalities have additional local
codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z3.1/NFPA 54 in the
USA or the CSA-B149.1 installation code.
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall switch
for the gas fireplace to the 120 volt power
supply.
Alternate Switch Location
The remote switch can be installed on the front/side of the
access door. Simply mount the switch to the bracket provided
and screw the bracket to either side of the frame, lining up
the screws with the pre-punched holes. (Fig. 7)
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide
a 1/8” test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved
fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe
so the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or
fan servicing. See gas specification for pressure details
and ratings.
Gas Line Installation
Remote ON/OFF Switch
When purging the gas lines, the front window
frame assembly must be removed.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap
and water solution. Do not use an open flame
for leak testing.
