Connecting Fireplace to Gas Supply (Cont.) Checking Gas Connections

INSTALLATION

Continued

NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit con- cealed gas connections. A flexible gas line is pro- vided to allow accessibility from the fireplace (see Figure 24). The flexible gas supply line connection to the equipment shutoff valve should be accessible.

4.Attach the flexible gas line to gas supply (see Figure 24). Check tightness of flexible gas line attached to gas regulator of fire- place (see Figure 24).

5.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Con- nections.

6.Replace log base assembly back into fireplace. Feed flexible gas line into fireplace base area while replacing log base assembly. Make sure the entire flexible gas line is in fireplace base area. Reattach log base assembly to fireplace with screws removed in step 2.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.

WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

CAUTION: Make sure external regulator has been installed between propane/LP supply and fireplace. See guidelines under Connecting Fireplace to Gas Supply, page 13.

Pressure Testing gas Supply Piping system

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1.

Disconnect fireplace with its appliance main gas valve (con-

 

trol valve) and equipment shutoff valve from gas supply pip-

 

ing system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig will damage fire-

 

place regulator.

2.

Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve

 

was connected.

3.

Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP

 

supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve

 

located on or near gas meter for natural gas, or using com-

 

pressed air.

4.

Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply noncorrosive

 

leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

5.

Correct all leaks at once.

6.

Reconnect fireplace and equipment shutoff valve to gas sup-

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.
