INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in cer- tain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to fireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (see Figure 22).

IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged fireplace valves. Never use sealant on flare threads.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 22. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and fireplace. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.

CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS SUPPLY

Installation Items Needed

5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver

Phillips screwdriver

sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided)

1.Remove fireplace screen. Remove two screws that hold fire- place screen in place for shipping. These screws are located near top of screen. Discard screws. Lift fireplace screen up and pull out to remove.

2.Remove screws that attach log base assembly to fireplace (see Figure 23, page 14). Carefully lift up log base assembly and remove from fireplace (see Figure 23, page 14).

Note: If adding the G8000A series brick liner accessory, install it now. Follow instructions in G8000A accessory kit.

CAUTION: Do not pick up log base assembly by burner. This could damage burner. Only handle base by grates.

3.Route gas line (provided by installer) from equipment shutoff valve to fireplace. Route flexible gas supply line through one of the access holes.

VYGF33PRB, VYGF33NRB, FPVF33PRA, FPVF33NRA, VYGF33NRB, VYGF33PRB specifications

Desa VYGF33NRB, VYGF33PRB, and FPVF33PRA are leading models in the domain of innovative heating solutions, featuring state-of-the-art technology and design aimed at efficiency and performance. These heating units are engineered to cater to a variety of spaces while ensuring user-friendly operation and environmental considerations.

The VYGF33NRB and VYGF33PRB models are distinguished by their advanced radiant heating technology. They utilize infrared heat, which warms objects and surfaces directly rather than simply heating the air. This method proves to be highly efficient, particularly in large or poorly insulated spaces, as it minimizes energy waste and promotes rapid heating.

Both VYGF33NRB and VYGF33PRB models come equipped with adjustable thermostats, allowing users to maintain precise temperature controls according to their specific needs. This feature complements the energy-saving capabilities of these models, ensuring that they only operate when necessary, thereby reducing overall energy consumption. Furthermore, the sleek, modern design of these models makes them an attractive addition to any indoor or outdoor setting.

The FPVF33PRA and FPVF33NRA, on the other hand, focus on versatility and portability. With lighter designs and built-in mobility features, these units can be easily relocated according to the user's requirements. They incorporate integrated safety mechanisms, such as tip-over switches and overheat protection, ensuring that safety remains a priority even in dynamic environments.

In addition to their heating capabilities, these models are equipped with air filtration technologies that improve indoor air quality. This feature is particularly beneficial in regions where allergens and pollutants can affect health and comfort. The air filtration systems in the FPVF33 series transform heating units into multi-functional appliances, providing not just warmth but also clean air.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the ease of maintenance that these units offer. Many components are designed for easy access, allowing for routine cleaning and replacement to ensure longevity. These models also feature energy-efficient settings that adapt to environmental conditions, making them suitable for various climates.

In conclusion, the Desa VYGF33NRB, VYGF33PRB, FPVF33PRA, and FPVF33NRA models epitomize the merging of innovative technology with practical utility. Their distinct features such as energy efficiency, advanced heating technology, portability, and air filtration capabilities cater to a wide range of heating needs while promoting a safer, healthier living environment. With these models, users can expect not only comfort but also a commitment to sustainability in their heating solutions.
