DV 42 Indoor Gas Fireplace
Installation
Section 5: Installing the Gas Line
NOTE: After gas line is connected, each
appliance connection
,
valve and valve train
must be checked while under
normal operating pressure with either a liquid solution,
or leak detection device, to locate any source of leak.
Tighten any areas where bubbling appears or leak is
detected until bubbling stops completely or leak is
no longer detected. DO NOT use a flame of any kind
to test for leaks.
WARNING!
When pressure testing the fireplace, gas line, and input
system follow the appropriate local codes or your area.
DO NOT connect the fireplace to pressures in excess of
1/2lb. This will damage the gas control valve.

Section 5-1: FUEL CONVERSION
•
Verify that your fireplace is compatible with your available
gas type.
•
If gas type is not compatible, contact your local European
Home representative to purchase a conversion kit.
•
Conversion kits must be installed by a qualified service
technician.
Section 5-2: GAS PRESSURE
•
Optimum appliance performance requires proper input
pressures.
•
Gas line sizing requirements will be determined in ANSI
Z221.3 National Fuel Gas Code in the USA and CAN/CGA
B149 in Canada.
Pressure requirements are:
gas Pressure
natural gas
Propane
Minimum inlet pressure
5.5in. w.c.
11in. w.c.
Manifold pressure
3.5in. w.c.
10in. w.c.
•
The manifold outlet pressure is set from the factory to
the appropriate pressure but should be verified.
•
To check pressures, control valves have a provision to
remove a 1/8” N.PT. plug to be fitted with a hose barb.
•
European Home requires a service shut-off valve be
located in an accessible location to isolate the gas supply.
•
Only install gas shut-off valves approved for use by the
state, province, or other governing body in which the
fireplace is being installed.
Section 5-3:
GAS CONNECTION
•
See
Figure 22
below for location of gas line access.
•
Flexible gas connectors must not exceed 3 feet in length,
unless allowable within local regulations.
•
Connect incoming gas line to the 1/2"or 3/8" gas inlet port.
•
Purge all air out of gas line.
•
Check appliance connection, valve and valve train under
normal operating pressure with a commercially available
leak check solution.
DO NOT USE A FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
