Venting Installation

Instructions

WARNING: Read all instruc- tions completely and thoroughly before attempting installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life.

WARNING: Seal all connec- tions with high temperature silicone every time a vent con- nection is made. Before joining elbows or pipes, apply a bead of high temperature silicone sealant to the male end of the elbow or pipe. High temperature silicone must also be used to re- seal any connections after main- tenance to venting system.

NOTICE:Failuretofollowthesein- structions will void the warranty.

NOTICE: Do not seal termination cap to vent pipe. Cap must be removable for vent inspection and maintenance.

Installation Precautions

Consult local building codes before beginning the installation. The installer must make sure to select the proper vent system for installation. Before installing vent kit, the installer must read this fireplace manual and vent kit instructions.

Only a qualified service person should install venting system. The installer must follow these safety rules:

Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection

Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on roof tops

Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings

The following actions will void the warranty on your venting system:

Installation of any damaged venting component

Unauthorized modification of the venting sys- tem (Do not cut or alter vent components)

Installation of any component part not manu- factured or approved by DESA

Installation other than as instructed by these instructions

INSTALLATION PLANNING

There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:

Horizontal Termination

Vertical Termination

It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the wall thickness.

For Horizontal Termination: Select the amount of vertical rise desired. The horizontal run of venting must have 1/4" rise for every 12" of run towards the termination.

WARNING: Never run the vent downward as this may cause excessive temperatures which could cause a fire.

You may use one or two 90° elbows in this vent configuration. See Horizontal Termination Con- figurations on page 13.

For Vertical Termination: Measure the distance from the fireplace flue outlet to the ceiling. Add the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the roof line. You may use one or two 90° elbows in this vent configuration. See Vertical Termination Configurations on page 16.

Note: You may use two 45° elbows in place of a 90° elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when using 45° elbows.

For two-story applications, firestops are required at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe and elbows will be required.

You may use a chase with a vent termination with exposed pipe on the exterior of the house. See In- stalling Vent System in a Chase, page 11.
