Pre-Installation

Preparation

Location and space requirements

Determine the safest and most efficient location for your DESA direct-vent fireplace. Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system. Choose a location where the heat output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. Figure 2 shows some common locations. Be aware of all restrictions and precautions before deciding the exact location for your fireplace and termination cap.

When deciding the location of your fireplace, follow these rules:

Do not connect this fireplace venting to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning fireplace or appliance.

Due to high temperatures, do not locate this fireplace in high traf- fic areas, windy or drafty areas, or near furniture or draperies.

Proper clearances must be maintained.

If your fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace. See Figure 3.

Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero clearance instal- lations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the back, sides, or top of your fireplace, except where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing material. See framing details on page 5.

If you plan on installing a television or entertainment center re- cessed above your fireplace, it is recommended that you maintain a minimum 18" above top of louver opening.

When locating termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 7, page 6.

If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra framing by position- ing your fireplace against an already existing framing member.

Do not recess termination cap into a wall or siding.

You may paint the termination cap with 450º F (232º C) heat- resistant paint to coordinate with the exterior finish.

There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks, or utility buildings within 24" from the front of the termination cap.

Do not locate termination cap where excessive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to clear vent termination area after snow falls to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, do not direct snow towards vent termination area.
