VENTING INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE: Read these instructions completely be-
fore attempting installation.
These models are tested and approved for use with DESA (direct-
vent) pipe components and terminations.
The venting system must terminate on the outside of the structure and
can not be attached to a chimney or flue system servicing a
solid fuel or gas burning appliance. A direct-vent appliance must have
its own venting system. DO NOT common vent this appliance.
These models are approved to be vented either horizontally through
an outside wall or vertically through a roof or chase enclosure
using the following:
• When venting system terminatates horizontally on an outside wall
you may install a standoff if the termination cap is to be in-
stalled directly on combustible finish such as vinyl, wood,
stucco, etc.
• Never run the vent downward as this may cause excessive tem-
peratures which could cause a fire.
• Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides
except on the horizontal sections, which require 2" clearance
from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a
combustible wall, the use of a 2 piece wall firestop is required to
support the termination cap and maintain proper clearances.
• Have fireplace and selected vent components on hand to help
determine the exact measurements when elbowing or offsetting.
Always use wall firestops when penetrating walls and vertical
firestops when penetrating ceilings, floor joists or attic spaces.
• Install hoorizontal venting with a 1/4" rise for every 12" of run
towards the termination.
WARNING: Read all instructions completely and
thoroughly before attempting installation. Failure to
do so could result in serious injury, property damage or
loss of life.
IMPORTANT: Do not seal vent cap to pipe. Cap must be removable
for servicing.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these instructions will void
the warranty.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection
• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on roof tops

system:
• Installation of any damaged venting component
• Unautorized modification of the venting system (Do not cut
or alter vent components)
• Installation of any component part not manufactured or ap-
proved 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 serv-
ing a separate solid fuel burning apppliance. Each
direct-vent gas appliance must use a separate vent
system Do not use common vent systems.
WARNING: Vent pipe air space clearance to com-
bustibles are 1" on all sides except on horizontal
sections, which require 2" clearance from the top of
the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a com-
bustible wall 1", air space clearance in required.
