High Elevations, Gas Line Installation

DV360/580 Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

High Elevations

Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are certiﬁed without deration for elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.

For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA, installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.

In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local authorities having jurisdiction for installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).

Gas Line Installation

When purging gas line the front glass must be removed.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right side of the appliance. Knockouts are provided at conve- nient locations to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection.

The gas line connection can be made with properly tinned 3/8” copper tubing, 1/2” rigid pipe or an approved ﬂex connector. Since some municipalities have addi- tional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and the CSA-B149.1installation codes.

For USA installations consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

Fig. 6 Typical gas supply installation.

Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution applied with a brush no larger than 1” (25 mm). Never apply soap and water solution with a spray bottle. Do not use an open ﬂame for leak testing.

The ﬁreplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.

The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to pro- vide 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 that the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. (Fig. 6) See the gas speciﬁca- tions for pressure details and ratings.

Remote ON/OFF Switch Installation

Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall switch for this gas appliance into a 120v power supply.

1.Thread wire through the electrical knockout located on either side of the unit. Take care not to cut the wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure the wire is secured and protected from possible damage. Run one end of the gas control valve and the other end to the conveniently located wall switch.

2.Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install switch into receptacle box. Attach cover plate to switch.

3.Connect wiring to gas valve. (Fig. 7)
