GAS SUPPLY

Locating Gas Supply

The gas line can enter the unit either through the ﬂoor or outside wall. The gas line opening should be made at this time. Location of the opening will be determined by the position of ﬂoor joists and the valve and union used for servicing.

31-46 meters	19mm	12.7mm	22.2mm	19mm

Note: Never use plastic pipe. Check to conﬁrm whether your local codes allow copper tubing or galvanized.

Note: Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and installation code.

The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:

—ANS Z21.24Appliance Connectors of Corrugated MetalTubing and Fittings

—ANS Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of Other Than All-Metal Construction

The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority having jurisdiction.The state of Massachusetts requires that a ﬂexible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.

Installing a New Main Gas Cock

Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.

A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.

Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of liqueﬁed petroleum gases. The gas lines must be checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if unexposed, a pressure test should be made.

Never use an exposed ﬂame to check for leaks. Appliance must be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!

A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required by the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip line be installed near the gas inlet. This should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee connected into the gas line that is capped on the bottom in which condensation and foreign particles may collect.

Figure 1

Consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 CAN/ CGA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation code.

Method of Installing a Tee Fitting Sediment Trap Pressure Testing of the Gas Supply System

1.To check the inlet pressure to the gas valve, a 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be placed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the appliance.

2.The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

3.The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Attention! If one of the above procedures results in pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14” w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the appliance gas valve, it will result in a hazardous condition.

DVC-35T-1, DVC-35IPT-1 specifications

Empire Products has long been recognized for its commitment to delivering high-quality heating solutions, and two notable offerings are the DVC-35T-1 and DVC-35IPT-1 gas-burning direct vent fireplaces. These units are designed to provide both comfort and aesthetic appeal, making them excellent choices for any home environment.

The DVC-35T-1 model boasts a classic design, paired with modern efficiency. With a heat output of 35,000 BTUs, it effectively warms spaces up to 1,100 square feet, ensuring even heat distribution throughout the room. One of the standout features is its advanced venting system, which allows for horizontal or vertical venting options, making it versatile for different installation layouts. The DVC-35T-1 also comes equipped with an adjustable flame control, enabling users to customize the ambiance to their preference. Its glass viewing area enhances the overall aesthetic while providing a full view of the flames.

On the other hand, the DVC-35IPT-1 model features an innovative design that incorporates a premium fireplace insert. This unit is specifically engineered to fit into existing fireplaces, transforming traditional wood-burning setups into efficient gas-burning heating sources. Like its counterpart, the DVC-35IPT-1 offers a maximum heat output of 35,000 BTUs, providing substantial warmth tailored for spaces up to 1,100 square feet. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art electronic ignition system, which ensures reliable and easy starts every time. The unit also includes a decorative log set that adds to its realism and charm, allowing for a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

Both models prioritize efficiency, with an impressive thermal efficiency rating, which not only helps in reducing heating costs but also makes them environmentally friendly options. The incorporation of a sealed combustion system ensures that indoor air quality is maintained, as it draws outside air for combustion and expels exhaust gases outdoors.

In addition to their technical features, the DVC-35T-1 and DVC-35IPT-1 are designed with user convenience in mind. Remote control capabilities allow for effortless operation, while easy maintenance ensures that homeowners spend less time worrying about upkeep and more time enjoying their fireplaces.

Overall, the Empire Products DVC-35T-1 and DVC-35IPT-1 fireplaces represent a blend of efficiency, technology, and aesthetic appeal, making them ideal options for those looking to enhance their home environment with reliable and stylish heating solutions.
