Figure 7 - Clearances for Combustible Mantels

GENERAL VENTING

These models are approved for use with Simpson Dura-Vent 6 5/8" direct-vent pipe components and terminations as well as both flex and rigid Comfort Glow vent components.

Your fireplace is approved to be vented either through the side wall, or vertically using the following guidelines:

•Only use Comfort Glow or Simpson Dura- Vent GS venting components or kits spe- cifically approved for this fireplace.

•Minimum clearance between vent pipes

and combustible materials is 1" (25 mm), except where stated otherwise.

• Combustible material may be flush with the top front of fireplace with a maxi- mum thickness of 3/4".

• Do not recess venting terminals into a

Nailing Tabs

wall or siding.

 

 

• Install horizontal venting with a 1/4" rise

 

for every 12" of run toward the termination.

 

• You may paint the vent terminal with

 

450ºF (232ºC) heat-resistant paint to co-

 

ordinate 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 ex-

 

cessive snow or ice build up may occur.

 

Be sure to clear vent termination area af-

 

ter snow falls to prevent accidental block-

 

age of venting system. When using snow

 

blowers, do not direct snow towards vent

 

termination area.

Location of Vent Termination

When locating vent termination, it is impor- tant to observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 8, page 6. You will avoid extra framing by positioning your fireplace against an already existing framing mem- ber. The sides of the fireplace may be posi- tioned directly against combustible walls.

*Check with local codes or with the current CAN/CGA B149 [.1 or .2] Installation Codes for Canada or the USA Installations follow the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1, also known as NFPA 54.

CHDV34PA, CHDV34NA, CHDV34PA specifications

The Desa Tech CHDV34NA, CHDV34PA, and CHDV34P are advanced heating solutions that combine efficiency, reliability, and modern technology to meet the needs of today's consumers. Each model is designed to provide optimal heating while ensuring safety and ease of use, making them ideal for both residential and commercial applications.

One of the standout features of the CHDV34 series is its impressive heating capacity. With a thermal efficiency that exceeds industry standards, these units can heat up spaces quickly while minimizing energy consumption. This makes them an attractive option for those looking to reduce their energy bills without sacrificing comfort. The versatile design allows for installation in various settings, whether in living rooms, offices, or commercial spaces.

The CHDV34NA model is particularly noteworthy for its natural gas operation, making it an eco-friendly choice. Natural gas provides a clean-burning fuel option that lowers carbon emissions compared to traditional heating methods. This model comes equipped with advanced safety features, including a built-in oxygen depletion sensor, ensuring that the unit operates safely by shutting off if oxygen levels become too low.

In contrast, the CHDV34PA model runs on propane, making it a flexible alternative for those who may not have access to natural gas lines. This model shares many of the same high-efficiency features as its natural gas counterpart, offering an easy transition for users looking to switch fuel sources.

Both models utilize an innovative electronic ignition system, which enhances reliability by eliminating the need for a standing pilot light. This technology not only saves energy but also simplifies the ignition process, allowing users to enjoy a swift heating experience.

Moreover, the CHDV34PA model is compatible with a range of optional accessories, including remote controls and programmable thermostats, allowing for personalized heating management. This level of customization ensures comfort and convenience, as users can easily adjust their settings according to their specific needs.

Overall, the Desa Tech CHDV34NA, CHDV34PA, and CHDV34P models are designed with modern consumers in mind. Their blend of efficiency, eco-friendliness, and advanced features make them stand out in the market, providing reliable heating solutions that cater to a variety of lifestyles and preferences. Whether opting for natural gas or propane, users can trust these models to deliver on performance while maintaining cost-effectiveness and safety.
