RDVN Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
20007628
When purging gas line, the front window 
frame assembly must be removed.
1.  The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear 
of the fireplace as well as the bottom. Knockouts are 
provided on the bottom behind the valve to allow for 
the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas con-
nection. It is most convenient to bring the gas line in 
from the rear right side of the valve 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 ap-
proved flex connector. Since some municipalities 
have additional local codes, it is always best to con 
sult your local authority and the National Fuel Gas 
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or the CSA-
B149.1 installation codes.
*Adhere to the following installation requirements in the State 
of Massachusetts:
 
The installer must be a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
 
Flex connectors must be Massachusetts approved, cannot 
exceed 36” (914mm) in length, must be a minimum 1/2” 
dia. and may not penetrate a wall.
2.  The gas control inlet is 3/8” NPT typical installation 
layout for rigid pipe is shown in Figure 5.
  NOTE: All models are equipped with a flex tube 
with a shut off valve having a 1/2” NPT inlet. The 
flex line with shut off is shipped in the control 
valve compartment. Using two wrenches, tighten 
the flexible tube at the shut off valve and at the 
gas control
3.  When using a flex connector,* use only approved fit-
tings. When a union is installed, provide easy access 
in its placement for servicing. Refer to gas specifica-
tion for pressure details and ratings.
4.  When a vertical section of gas pipe is required for 
the installation, a condensation trap is needed. In 
Canada see CSA-B149.1 for code details. See the 
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in 
the USA.

5.  For natural gas, a minimum of 3/8” iron pipe with a 
gas supply pressure of 4.5” w.c. (from the gas me-
ter). Consult with local gas utility and ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 if any questions arise concerning pipe 
sizes.
6.  Turn the gas supply to ‘ON’ and check for leaks. DO 
NOT USE OPEN FLAME FOR THIS PURPOSE. 
Use an approved leak testing solution.
7.  The appliance and its appliance main gas 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 (3.5KPa).
8.  This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply 
piping system by closing its equipment shut off valve 
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping 
system at test pressures equal to 1/2 psig (3.5KPa).
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and 
water solution. Do not use an open flame for leak 
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 that the gas line can be easily disconnected for 
burner or fan servicing. Refer to the gas specifications 
for pressure details and ratings.
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. 
Installation:
1.  Thread the wiring through holes on the end panels 
of appliance. Take care not to cut wire or insulation 
on metal edges. Route the wire to a conveniently 
located receptacle box. 
2.  Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the 
switch into the receptacle box.
3.  Connect the other ends of the wire to the gas control 
valve. (Fig. 6)
