PILOT FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

The correct pilot flame (Figure 12) will be blue, extending past the thermocouple. The flame will surround the thermocouple just below the tip.

Natural gas pilots require adjusting when the inlet gas pressure is above 5” w.c. (1.245kPa). Remove the pilot cover screw on the control valve (Figure 3), and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to reduce flame. Replace pilot cover screw to eliminate gas leaking at that control valve opening.

LP gas (propane) will not require adjustment.

After use, cleaning may be required for the proper flame.

This heater is using a Honeywell “Smart Valve” system for intermittent pilot ignition.

On a call for heat by the thermostat this control turns on a 24 volt mini hot surface ignitor which lights a pilot that in turn lights the main burner. The gas valve used in this system is a step opening which opens at a lower pressure for ignition and then steps to a full inlet pressure of 4” pressure on Natural gas and 10” pressure on LP gas.

Pilot Flame Adjustment

The pilot flame should envelop 3/8 to 1/2 inch (10 to 13mm) of the tip of the flame rod. See Figure 12.

To adjust:

1.Remove the pilot adjustment cover screw.

2.Turn the inner adjustment screw clockwiseto decrease

or counterclockwiseto increase pilot flame. Pilot ad- justment is shipped at full flow rate. Turn the inner adjustment

screw clockwise if the inlet pressure is too high.

3.Replace the cover screw after the adjustment to prevent gas leakage.

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.
