FRAMING
Construct framing using dimensions shown if Figures
6, 7 and 8. (Use the figure applicable to your applica-
tion.) Figure 6 shows the framing dimensions prior
to having the appliance in place. If installing on a
platform, platform must be solid, flat and fully sup-
ported (see Figure 7). Once the unit has been fitted,
bring studs in against nailing flanges located on the
side of the appliance making sure a 1" clearance is
maintained as shown in Figure 8.
If the fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting,
tile (other than ceramic) or any combustible mate-
rial other than wood flooring the fireplace must be
installed upon a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the fireplace.

VENT PIPE INSTALLATION
A 6", B-1 type gas vent pipe is a double-wall, vent-
ing system (not supplied) which must be installed
during rough framing of the appliance. Any B-1
type gas vent system may be used for proper vent-
ing as long as the vent system is installed per the
vent manufacturerʼs recommendations.
DESA supplies this appliance with a tapered starter
pipe for a snug fit. Slide B-1 type vent pipe over
this starter pipe until vent pipe is fully seated.
Secure this first section of B-vent pipe by strap-
ping the connector around the vent pipe and then
