VENTING INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Read all instruc-

tions completely and thoroughly

before attempting installation.

Failure to do so could result in

serious injury, property damage

or loss of life.

WARNING: Seal all connec-

tions with high temperature

silicone every time a vent con-

nection is made. Before joining

elbows or pipes, apply a bead

of high temperature silicone

sealant to the male end of the

elbow or pipe. High temperature

silicone must also be used to re-

seal any connections after main-

tenance to venting system.

NOTICE: Failure to follow these in-

structions will void the warranty.

NOTICE: Do not seal termination

cap to vent pipe. Cap must be

removable for vent inspection

and maintenance.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Consult local building codes before beginning the

installation. The installer must make sure to select

the proper vent system for installation. Before

installing vent kit, the installer must read this

fireplace manual and vent kit instructions.

Only a qualified service person should install

venting system. The installer must follow these

safety rules:

• 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

• Unauthorized modification of the venting sys-

tem (Do not cut or alter vent components)

• Installation of any component part not manu-

factured or approved 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 serving a separate

solid fuel burning appliance. Each

direct-vent gas appliance must

use a separate vent system. Do not

use common vent systems.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:

• Horizontal Termination

• Vertical Termination

It is important to select the proper length of vent

pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is

also important to note the wall thickness.

For Horizontal Termination:

Select the amount of

vertical rise desired. The horizontal run of venting

must have 1/4" rise for every 12" of run towards

the termination.

WARNING: Never run the

vent downward as this may

cause excessive temperatures

which could cause a fire.

You may use one or two 90° elbows in this vent

configuration. See Horizontal Termination Con-

figurations on page 13.

For Vertical Termination:

Measure the distance

from the fireplace flue outlet to the ceiling. Add

the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or

second story, and allow for sufficient vent height

above the roof line. You may use one or two 90°

elbows in this vent configuration. See Vertical

Termination Configurations on page 16.
Note:

You may use two 45° elbows in place of a

90° elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when

using 45° elbows.

For two-story applications, firestops are required at

each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic,

additional pipe and elbows will be required.

You may use a chase with a vent termination with

exposed pipe on the exterior of the house. See In-

stalling Vent System in a Chase, page 11.
