Installation Notes

Install the blower beneath the rear of the firebox per the DRL4048 / DRL6048 manual, with gas and power off. The fireplace needs a 3-wire, 120 VAC, 60 Hz unswitched supply to its junction box. The blower must be removed or disabled if a see-thru kit is installed, and blowers do not run while the fireplace is on battery backup.

In New York City, a direct-vent gas fireplace needs a licensed master plumber and a permit.
