FRAMING

Construct framing using dimensions shown if Figures 6, 7 and 8. (Use the figure applicable to your applica- tion.) Figure 6 shows the framing dimensions prior to having the appliance in place. If installing on a platform, platform must be solid, flat and fully sup- ported (see Figure 7). Once the unit has been fitted, bring studs in against nailing flanges located on the side of the appliance making sure a 1" clearance is maintained as shown in Figure 8.

If the fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any combustible mate- rial other than wood flooring the fireplace must be installed upon a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.

VENT PIPE INSTALLATION

A 6", B-1 type gas vent pipe is a double-wall, vent- ing system (not supplied) which must be installed during rough framing of the appliance. Any B-1 type gas vent system may be used for proper vent- ing as long as the vent system is installed per the vent manufacturerʼs recommendations.

DESA supplies this appliance with a tapered starter pipe for a snug fit. Slide B-1 type vent pipe over this starter pipe until vent pipe is fully seated. Secure this first section of B-vent pipe by strap- ping the connector around the vent pipe and then tightening the strap with any 1/8" nut and bolt (see Figure 9). Note: Visually inspect for proper vent connection by looking inside top of appliance. If connection does not appear to be correct, contact
