DRT40 Multi-View Series Direct-Vent Gas Fireplace
Be aware that this is a heat producing ap-
pliance. Objects placed above the unit are
exposed to elevated temperatures.
Do not insulate the space between the ap-
pliance and the area above it (see Figure 8).
The minimum height from the base of the appli-
ance to the underside of combustible materials
used to construct a utility shelf in this fashion
is shown in Figure 8.
The appliance should be mounted on a fully
supported base extending the full width and
depth of the unit. The appliance may be located
on or near conventional construction materials.
However, if installed on combustible materials,
such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal or
wood barrier covering the entire bottom surface
must be used.

VENT TERMINATION CLEARANCES

These instructions should be used as a
guideline and do not supersede local codes
in any way. Install venting according to local
codes, these instructions, the current National
Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or
the current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1
in Canada.

The horizontal vent termination must have a minimum of 6" (152 mm) clearance to any overhead
combustible projection of 2-1/2" (64 mm) or less (see Figure 6). For projections exceeding 2-1/2"
(64 mm), see Figure 6. For additional vent location restrictions refer to Page 7.

All horizontal terminations
may be located as close as
6" (152mm) to any
(non-combustible and
combustible) exterior
sidewall. This distance
may be decreased to 2"
(51mm) for non- -
6"
combustible exterior
(152 mm)
sidewalls only, if the
SV4.5HT-2 termination
is used.
NOTE: See Figure 42 on Page 22 for the exterior wall recess
allowances of the square horizontal termination.
