LENNOX HEARTH PRODUCTS • ELITE LINEAR VIEW DIRECT-VENT GAS FIREPLACE (MODELS LDV42, LDV54) • INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL
INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

LENNOX HEARTH PRODUCTS Elite Linear

models are direct-vent (top vent only), sealed
combustion, air-circulating gas replaces de-

signed for residential applications.

Direct-vent appliances operate with the com­bustion chamber isolated from the indoor
environment. All air for combustion is brought

in from the outside, and exhaust gases are
vented through the same direct-vent, coaxial
(intake/exhaust) vent system.

These appliances are designed to operate
on natural or propane gas only. The use of
other fuels or fuel combinations will degrade
the performance of this system, may be
dangerous, and may void the warranty.

The electronic system is switchable between
standing and intermittent pilot modes (see
Figure 11-2).

A remote control system is included with all

models and provides remote ON/OFF ame
control. (Manual adjustment of the gas valve
settings is not possible.) See Page 25 for

details.

Electrical power (110 Vac line voltage) is rec­ommended to operate the replace; however,
AA batteries (not provided) can be used for

full-time operation or as a backup in case of a
power outage.

Note: Batteries will operate the flame ON/
OFF function only.

Factors to consider when selecting a location
for the appliance include aes thetics, function,
vent system routing, and fuel supply access.

Locate the appliance in an area free of electri-

cal, plumbing, and HVAC ducting. See Figure
7-2 for typical installation configurations.

CAUTION: Due to high temperatures, the
appliance should be located out of traffic
and away from furniture and draperies.

AVERTISSEMENT : En raison des tem­pératures élevées, l’appareil devrait
être installé dans un endroit où il y a
peu de circulation et loin du mobilier
et des tentures.

The appliance may be located on or near con­ventional construction materials (see Note
under Step 4 on this page).

IMPORTANT!

Before installing the fireplace, the
nailing flanges MUST be adjusted
according to finish (cleanface or
surround) and wall finish material
thickness. This is critical to ensure
proper fireplace location, especially
if installing the optional Surround.
See “UNIT NAILING FLANGES” on

Page 9.

FRAMING THE FIREPLACE

2. Adjust the nailing anges, as applicable

(see Page 9).

3. Frame the replace (see Page 8).

4. Mount the fireplace on a fully supported

base extending the full width and depth of
the unit.

Note: If installing the appliance on
combustible material (such as car­pet or vinyl tile), a metal or wood
barrier covering the entire bottom
surface MUST be used.

5. Secure the fireplace to the side framing

members using the unit’s nailing flanges
per the instructions under “UNIT NAILING
FLANGES” on Page 9. Use 8d nails or their
equivalent.

Note:

• All framing details must allow for min­imum clearances to combustibles as
shown in the “CLEARANCES” section
(previous page).

• Headers may be in direct contact with the

appliance top spacers when top spacers are
bent up vertically (maintaining the 4-3/8"

clearance to the replace top); however,

headers must NOT be supported by top
spacers or notched to fit around them.

• All construction above the appliance must

be self-supporting. Do NOT use the appli-
ance for structural support.

GAS REQUIREMENTS
AND CONNECTION

GENERAL GAS INFORMATION
AND IMPORTANT NOTICES

• It is critical that a licensed instal ler

perform these steps strictly per NFPA.

Installing a gas supply line from the fuel
supply to the appliance involves numerous

considerations, including materials, protec­tion, sizing, location, controls, pressure,
sediment, and more.

• Gas lines must be routed, constructed, and

made of materials that are in strict accord­ance with local codes and regulations.
Check with local building officials for local
code requirements.

• Never use galvanized or plastic pipe.

• A sediment trap (not provided) is recom-

mended in the gas piping within the home to
prevent moisture and debris in the line from
damaging the valve.

• On threaded joints, use a pipe joint com-

pound rated for gas. Always use propane-

resistant compounds in propane applica­tions. Make sure pipe joint compound
does NOT get inside the pipe.

• It is recommended to seal around the gas

line to prevent cold air leakage.

GAS VALVE AND TEST PORT
INFORMATION

The SIT gas valve in this replace has a 3/8"
NPT thread main gas inlet and outlet (Figure
10-3).

Test gauge connections are provided on the
front of the gas control valve (identied IN for
the inlet and OUT for the manifold side).

• Where required, tightly secure all joints

using appropriate pipe wrenches and seal­ing compounds.

These appliances must be isolated from

the gas supply piping system (by closing
their 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).

These appliances and their individual
shutoff valves must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that
system at pressures greater than 1/2

psig (3.5 kPa).

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING

PROPANE INSTALLATIONS

Propane tanks are at pressures that will
cause damage to valve components.
Verify that the tanks have step-down regu­lators to reduce pressures to safe levels.

Using a propane tank smaller than
100 lbs may create pressure loss and
insufficient fuel delivery, which can cause
sooting, severe delayed ignition, or other
malfunctions (ref. NPFA 58).

Any damage as a result of insufficient
tank size or other improper installation is
NOT covered under the limited warranty.

CONNECTING TO THE GAS SUPPLY

IMPORTANT: Do NOT connect the fireplace to the gas
supply line until fireplace installation is complete.

1. Refer to Figure 12-2. Route the gas supply line into the

firebox through the gas supply line access opening to the
point it will connect to the gas flex line and gas line shutoff
valve.

2. Unscrew the shutoff valve from the gas flex line. Apply

thread sealant appropriate for the gas type, and then con­nect the shutoff valve to the gas stub.

IMPORTANT: Position the shutoff valve to allow easy

operation of the knob through the access opening in
the fireplace floor.

3. Connect the flare fitting on the flex line to the shutoff valve.

Tighten by hand, and then use a pipe wrench to tighten
completely, 1/4-turn at a time.

4. Leak-test all ttings.

CONTROL COMPARTMENT ACCESS

1. Remove the burner assembly with attached air shutter

assembly by removing the two 5/16" screws securing the

burner to the burner brackets (Figure 12-3).

Carefully slide the burner to the left, to clear the venturi from

the orifice (Figure Figure 12-3, Detail), and then rotate the
burner to release the air shutter adjustment rod from the
air shutter lever (Figure 2). Set aside screws and burner
assembly in a secure location for later reinstallation.

2. Remove the control compartment access panel and gasket

by removing (12) screws, and set aside for later reinstalla­tion. The gas valve can be accessed through the opening,

TESTING CONNECTIONS (FACTORY AND FIELD) FOR GAS LEAKS

Turn on gas supply and use a gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble leak
solution) to test all factory and eld connections for gas leaks.

Note: Even though soapy water is an effective leak test solution, it is NOT

recommended because soap residue can corrode pipes and fittings over time.

1. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting instructions in the Care and Operation
Instructions or on the label attached to the door latch).

2. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution. If bubbles form

or gas odor is detected, turn the gas control knob (off/pilot/on) to the OFF posi-
tion. Tighten or refasten the leaking connection, then retest as described above.

3. When all gas lines are tested and leak free, rinse off the leak test solution.

NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
