Gas Line Installation; Remote Switch Installation - Vermont Castings DVRS3 Installation Instructions & Homeowner's Manual

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket
permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home,
where not prohibited by local codes.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas
indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not
convertible for use with other gases, unless an avail-
able certified kit is used.

GAS LINE INSTALLATION

When purging gas line one of the glass
sides must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear right
side (see Fireplace Specifications) of the appliance as well
as the bottom. Knockouts are provided at convenient
locations to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of
any gas connection. It is most convenient to bring the
gas line in from the rear right side, as this allows fan
installation or removal without disconnecting the gas
line.
The gas line connection can be made with
properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 3/8"
rigid pipe or an approved flex connector.
Since some municipalities have some
additional local codes, it is always best to
consult your local authority and the CAN/
CGA-B149 (1. or .2) Installation code or for
U.S.A Installations
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution.
open flame for leak testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide
a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.

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
