High Altitude installation

Your DESA direct-vent fireplace has been tested and approved in the USA for elevations from 0-2000 feet (610 m) and in Canada at elevations from 0-4500 feet (1372 m).

High-altitude models as indicated by the letter suf- fix (-HA) are equipped with specific gas controls for installation above 4000 feet.

IMPORTANT: Fireplaces when factory equipped for use at high-

altitude can not be converted for use with Pro- pane/LP gas. When installing a non-high altitude fireplace at an elevation above 2000 feet (610 m) (in the USA), you may need to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet (305 m) above sea level. Check with your local gas company for proper derate procedure and orifice size.

When installing this fireplace in Canada at an elevation above 4500 feet (1372 m), Check with local or provincial code authorities.

Consult your local gas company to help determine the proper orifice for your location.

For assistance with any high altitude installation contact DESA’s Customer Service Department at 1-866-672-6040.

Check Gas Type

Use proper gas type for the fireplace unit you are installing. If your gas supply is not correct, do not install fireplace. See retailer where you purchased the fireplace for proper fireplace according to your gas type or to purchase gas conversion kit (see Accessories, page 45).

Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location

WARNING: A qualified service person must connect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace di- rectly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the fireplace and propane/LP supply.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing fireplace, make sure you have the items listed below.

•external regulator (supplied by installer)

•piping (check local codes)

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

•equipment shutoff valve *

•test gauge connection *

•sediment trap

•tee joint

•pipe wrench

•approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes)

*A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alterna- tive to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your retailer.

For propane/LP connection only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pres- sure, fireplace regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 49, page 27. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
