Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you
have purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located
on the certification label and also on the appliance’s gas valve.
Adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections must be
provided. All gas connections must be checked for gas leaks.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the fireplace. The line
must be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Immediately upstream of the
supply connection, the fitter shall provide an accessible manual shut-off valve and a 1/8” (3 mm)
NPT plugged tapping accessible for connection to a test gauge. When connecting the supply line
to the gas valve, the installer shall brace the gas valve to ensure that the gas valve is not moved
from its bracket. If the valve is not braced when the supply line is connected, the valve may be
moved and cause a “break” in the main burner supply line. Such damage is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure-testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure-testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do so will damage the
appliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Natural Gas Pressure Settings:
The inlet supply or line pressure must be a minimum of 5” W.C. (1.2 kPa) and a maximum of 14”
W.C. (3.5 kPa). The orifice is a #42 DMS (2.36 mm) drill size.
ELEVATION INPUT RATING
0-4500 ft (0-1372 M) 24,000 BTU/hr (6.9 kW)
4500 ft (1372 M) and above. 24,000 BTU/hr (6.9 kW) less 4% per 1000 ft. (305 M)
Please contact your local distributor for the appropriate orifice size you require.
Propane Pressure Settings:
The inlet supply or line pressure must be a minimum of 11” W.C. (2.8 kPa) and a maximum of
14” W.C. (3.5 kPa). The orifice is a #54 DMS (1.40 mm) drill size.
ELEVATION INPUT RATING
0-4500 ft. (0-1372 M) 23,000 BTU/hr (6.6 kW)
4500 ft. (1372 M) and above. 23,000 BTU/hr (6.6 kW) less 4% per 1000 ft. (305 M)
Please contact your local distributor for the appropriate orifice size you require.
NOTE: THE INPUT RATING SHOULD ALWAYS BE CHECKED WHEN FIRST RUNNING THIS
APPLIANCE. To do this, reduce the background flow rate, time the meter, light the fireplace and
take another reading after 15 minutes of operation. Check with your gas supplier for the gas BTU
content at your elevation. Input is the rate of flow multiplied by the heating value of the gas (cubic
feet/hour x BTU per cubic feet). Adjust the manifold pressure so that the unit does not operate
above the rated input.

22-DVI24N-3 10
LEVELING THE 22-DVI24N-3 DIRECT VENT INSERT
Before placing the appliance into the fireplace, check the hearth of the fireplace to see if it is
level with the front of the fireplace. If it is not, measure the depth of the hearth. Loosen the
three screws of the leveling “L” bracket at the back of the appliance. Lower it to the
measurement obtained and tighten the screws.
APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The 22-DVI24N-3 comes complete with a temperature-activated fan and rheostat installed and

LOG PLACEMENT
WARNING:
Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
The Archgard pan burner bed and fiber logs are designed to give a realistic fire package, and created to
look the same as the day they were originally installed. Care must be given when first installing the logs,
and if removed for servicing, as they can be damaged or broken if not handled properly.
After opening the log set package, inspect the logs to ensure that no damage has occurred inside the
package. Please report any damage immediately to your Authorized Archgard Dealer.
Gas and vent connection must be made before installing the embers and logs on the pan burner.
NOTE: Improper placement of logs and embers may cause sooting on the internal parts and glass and will
not be covered under warranty. Do not use broken or damaged logs.
Locate the embers, logs and grate and place them on their prospective locations. Refer to the pictured
instructions on the following pages that will show how to place all six (6) logs. The bottom of each log has a
3-digit code that can be used as a reference to help locate the correct log. Pins and holes must be aligned
with logs and burner.
IMPORTANT: Black Embers and Platinum Embers should not be placed over the burner ports. Place
Black Embers evenly around the pan before installing Platinum Embers. Do not use more than one gram of
Platinum Embers. Separate the material and place evenly around the pan. Be sure to follow handling
instructions on the bag.
NOTE: Installing the fiber logs in any other position other than shown will result in flame
impingement causing sooting of the logs, brick liner and ceramic glass viewing area.
