Venting Installation

Optional Outside air Kit (Model ak4/ak4f)

The installation of an outside air kit should be performed during the rough framing of the fireplace due to the nature of it's location. Outside combustion air is accessed through a vented crawl space (AK4F) or through a sidewall (AK4).

CAUTION: Combustion air inlet ducts shall not terminate in attic space.

Secure to Collars with Metal Tape, Screws or Straps (Min. of 1/4" x 20" in size)

Chimney Pipe

The DESA Heating, LLC chimney system consists of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" snap- lock, double-wall pipe segments, planned for maximum adaptability to individual site requirements. Actual lengths gained after fitting overlaps must be taken into consider- ation (lineal gain) and are given in the lineal gain chart (see Figure 9). Lineal Gain is the actual measurable length of a part after two or more parts are connected. For Canada, use chimney parts designated "HT".

WARNING: The opening in the collar around the chimney at the top of the fireplace must not be obstructed.Neveruseblowninsula- tion to fill the chimney enclosure.

Assembly and installation of double wall chimney system

Each double wall chimney section consists of a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel inner flue pipe and a wire spacer. The pipe sections must be assembled independently as the chimney is installed. When connecting chimney directly to the fireplace, the inner flue pipe section must be installed first with the lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then be installed over 5 the flue pipe section with the hemmed end up. Press down on each pipe section until the lances securely engage the hem on the fireplace starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing between the inner and outer pipe sections.

Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above, making sure that both the inner and outer pipe sections are locked to- gether. When installing double wall snap-lock chimney together, it is important to assure the joint between the chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney upward after locking. The chimney will not come apart
