4 wiring types for gas fireplaces.
1. Connect to Millivolt Valve
Adding an optional remote receiver by connecting the TH/TP + TH on Millivolt valve. These terminals are originally designed for a room thermostat.
*Field wired, in series.
2. Replace On/Off Switch or Thermostat
Replacing an existing wall / manual On/Off switch or room thermostat with remote receiver.
3. Connect to Electrical Outlet Box
Adding an optional remote receiver at the 24VAC power (output) of electrical outlet box.
*Field wired, in series.
4. Switches In-Series or In-parallel
Adding remote receiver into an existing wall / manual On/Off switch or room thermostat with remote receiver. Results: Wiring IN SERIES with existing wall switch:
- Wall switch ON + remote control ON = Fireplace ON;
- Wall switch ON + remote control OFF = Fireplace OFF;
- Wall switch OFF + remote control ON = Fireplace OFF;
- Wall switch OFF + remote control OFF = Fireplace OFF
Wiring IN PARALLEL with existing wall switch:
- Wall switch ON + remote control ON = Fireplace ON;
- Wall switch ON + remote control OFF = Fireplace ON;
- Wall switch OFF + remote control ON = Fireplace ON;
- Wall switch OFF + remote control OFF = Fireplace OFF

I recently installed as a replacement. The pilot is lit and I can turn the main fire on manually. The remote lets me turn the fire off but will not restart it. It also has a new pilot and thermocouple. What could be the problem? The pilot is aways lit.

Edward, in 2. REPLACE ON/OFF SWITCH”, just pull wires off the original on/off switch TH/TP and TH terminal plugs, and replace with the remotes wires from your new Durablow devices Black or red box, now your remote control tells it when to turn on/off.

In “2. REPLACE ON/OFF SWITCH” . I’m confused. Do I cut the wires from the old on/off toggle switch and connect the 2 wires from the TR-2001 to the 2 wires that then go somewhere to the fireplace? Then the original on/off toggle switch would not be connected to anything. I made a diagram but no way to send it to you. The user manual does not address this.
