Empire FBB-8 Automatic Fireplace Blower with Variable Speed Control - For Small and Medium Loft Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces

Yes, the Empire FBB-8 Automatic Fireplace Blower with Variable Speed Control is designed for use with Loft Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces, and your DVL36BP70P-2 Empire propane fireplace is compatible. Although the FBB-8 instruction manual specifically lists DVL(25,33)FP models, the installation process is generally applicable to the Loft series fireplaces. Here are the general installation instructions for the FBB-8 Blower Kit: 1. Inspect the blower assembly for any shipping damage before installation. Ensure the blower wheel spins freely. 2. Locate the (4) threaded rubber blower mounts in the hardware pack. Install (2) blower mounts into the right rear threaded insert nut locations and the remaining (2) blower mounts into the left rear insert nut locations. Screw the mounts into the threaded insert nuts all the way and hand tighten with moderate pressure. 3. To insert the blower assembly, place the blower on its back. Make sure any pilot tubing and wiring in the bottom cavity of the fireplace are routed to the left of the pilot connections. 4. Carefully work the blower assembly rearward and to the left until the blower bracket has cleared the front flange of the fireplace bottom and can lay flat inside the bottom of the fireplace. 5. Gently rotate the blower assembly counter-clockwise 90 degrees as you continue to move it to the left, clearing the 2 latch brackets and pilot connections. 6. Match up the 2 slots at the left end of the blower mount plate with the 2 previously installed blower mounts. 7. Finger-tighten all (4) ¼-20 Wing-nuts equally with moderate torque. Needle-nose pliers may be necessary, but avoid over-tightening. 8. Position the Rheostat (Speed) Control to the right front corner of the fireplace bottom. 9. Use the plastic adhesive-backed wire retainers to route and secure the wiring to the bottom of the fireplace. 10. Check with a flashlight to ensure all wiring is positioned away from the bottom of the firebox and blower, and that the blower wheel spins freely. 11. Attach, or re-attach the gas line and test for leaks. 12. Re-install the Glass Door assembly with all (4) Spring latches. 13. Install the Decorative Surround panel assembly. Blower installation is now complete. You can find the complete FBB-8 Blower Kit Installation Instructions for your reference.
