VENTING INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE: Read these instructions completely be- fore attempting installation.
These models are tested and approved for use with DESA (direct- vent) pipe components and terminations.
The venting system must terminate on the outside of the structure and can not be attached to a chimney or flue system servicing a solid fuel or gas burning appliance. A
These models are approved to be vented either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through a roof or chase enclosure using the following:
•Whenventingsystemterminatateshorizontallyonanoutsidewall you may install a standoff if the termination cap is to be in- stalled directly on combustible finish such as vinyl, wood, stucco, etc.
•Never run the vent downward as this may cause excessive tem- peratures which could cause a fire.
•Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1” on all sides except on the horizontal sections, which require 2” clearance from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a combustible wall, the use of a 2 piece wall firestop is required to support the termination cap and maintain proper clearances.
•Have fireplace and selected vent components on hand to help determine the exact measurements when elbowing or offsetting. Always use wall firestops when penetrating walls and vertical firestops when penetrating ceilings, floor joists or attic spaces.
•Install hoorizontal venting with a 1/4” rise for every 12” of run towards the termination.
WARNING: Read all instructions completely and thoroughly before attempting installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life.
IMPORTANT: Do not seal vent cap to pipe. Cap must be removable for servicing.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these instructions will void the warranty.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
•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
•Unautorized modification of the venting system (Do not cut or alter vent components)
•Installation of any component part not manufactured or ap- proved by DESA.
•Installation other than as instructed by these instructions
WARNING: This gas fireplace and vent assembly must be vented directly to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serv- ing a separate solid fuel burning apppliance. Each
WARNING: Vent pipe air space clearance to com- bustibles are 1” on all sides except on horizontal sections, which require 2” clearance from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a com- bustible wall 1”, air space clearance in required.
