DV 42 ST See-through Gas Fireplace
rev.110308
Installation
Cautions:
QVent terminations can be very hot. If the termination is less than
7 feet above a public walkway, it should be tted with a certied
European Home Heat Guard. (Part no. PTKOG).
QDo not obstruct, or attempt to conceal, the vent termination.
These actions will aect the operation of the replace, and may
be hazardous.
QIn heavy snow areas, take extra care to prevent snow buildup from
obstructing the vent termination.
QUse European Home VSS Vinyl Heat Shield when using on applications
with vinyl siding to guard against possible damage.
Vent Installation
This section covers the installation of direct venting and terminations.
Installation Requirements
QDV 42 ST replace is certied for use with European Home Standard Series (5" / 8")
venting components.
QMinimum clearance to combustible construction around the vent pipe is 1" on
all sides, except on horizontal venting where the top of the pipe must have a clearance
of at least 2".
QUse only certied European Home vent components. (Use of other parts will void the European
Home warranty, and may impede the operation of the replace.)
QAll joints must be secured with a minimum of two screws per joint
QVent terminations must not be recessed in walls or siding
QHorizontal runs must be supported by a minimum of two supports per horizontal run. A
minimum of one screw on each side of support is also required
QFlex vent sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length (e.g. a 24" section
may be stretched to 36")
QFlex vent sections over 6 feet must fall within the limits set by the venting graph and must
have a minimum vertical rise of 3 inches per foot of ex.
QSolid vent sections may be cut less than half way from the female end
QVenting components can be used in any combination of solid/rigid pipe or ex pipe and
in any orientation (Male connectors can face in any direction)
Installing The Remote Switch
The DV 42 ST gas valve, located behind the lower trim, may be connected to a wall
switch. The valve generates its own power on a millivolt circuit. Use only low
voltage wire, and DO NOT connect any external power to it.
Note: The switch location must not exceed 30' from the replace.
Gas Installation
FUEL CONVERSION
Verify that your replace 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 qualied service technician.
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 veried.
To check pressures, control valves have a provision to remove a ⁄” NPT plug
to be tted with a hose barb.
European Home requires a service shut o valve be located in an accessible
location to isolate the gas supply.
Only install gas shut-o valves approved for use by the state, province, or
other governing body in which the replace is being installed.
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.
