FIRESTOP SPACERS
Firestop spacers are required at each point where the chimney
penetrates a floor or ceiling joist space. Their purpose is two fold,
they establish and maintain the required clearance between the
chimney and combustible materials, and provide complete separa-
tion from one floor space to another floor or attic space as required
by most codes.
When the double wall pipe passes though a framed opening into an attic
space, the firestop must be placed into the attic floor as in Figure 5.
When the pipe passes through a framed opening into a living space above,
the firestop must be placed onto the ceiling from below as in Figure 6.

SUPPORT SECTIONS
The chimney support section is a 4 strap 12" length of pipe. A
chimney support is required at the 30 foot level above the fireplace
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
after a straight chimney run, or above a return elbow after a straight
chimney run (see Figure 7). This support is designed to relieve the
extra weight load on the fireplace and elbows when high chimneys
are installed.

BLOWER ASSEMBLY (VCBK3)
For Model V42EC Only
A blower assembly is available for use with this fireplace as an option.
It is designed to be installed on DESA International factory pre-wired
fireplaces only. The blower assembly model VCBK3 can be installed
prior to, or after installation of the fireplace. Use of blowers or fans
other than those manufactured by DESA International voids the
warranty. The optional blower is operated by a switch located on the
lower face. Flipping the switch turns the blower on or off.
NOTE: Fireplace must be wired to the house electrical system in order
for the blowers to operate. See instructions provided with blower
assembly. Electrical connections are made through the cover on the
side of the fireplace illustrated in Figure 8. Use 14 AWG min. copper
wire for all connections. Be certain the fireplace is properly grounded.
