DVBR Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution applied with a
brush no larger than 1” (25 mm). Never
apply soap and water solution with a spray
bottle. Do not use an open flame for leak
testing.
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
pressure testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to pro-
vide a 1/8” test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved
fittings. Always provide a union when using black
iron pipe so the gas line can be easily disconnected for
burner or fan servicing. (Fig. 6) See the gas specifica-
tions for pressure details and ratings.
