Venting Installation Instructions - Desa (V)CD36RNE Owner's Operation And Installation Manual

VENTING INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE: Read these instruc-
tions completely before at-
tempting 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 serving a separate 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 fol-
lowing:
• When venting system terminates horizontally
on an outside wall, you may install a standoff
if the termination cap is to be installed directly
on a combustible finish such as vinyl, wood,
stucco, etc.
• Never run the vent downward as this may
cause excessive temperatures which could
cause a fire.
• Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles
are 1" on all sides except on the horizontal
sections, which requires 2" clearance from
the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap
penetrates a combustible wall, 1" air space
clearance is required.
• 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 firestops
when penetrating ceilings or attic spaces.
• Install horizontal venting with a 1/4" rise for
every 12" of run toward the termination.
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.
IMPORTANT: Do not seal vent cap to pipe. Cap
must be removable for servicing.

structions will void the warranty.
NOTICE: Do not seal termination
cap to vent pipe. Cap must be
removable for vent inspection

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
• 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
manufactured 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.
space clearances to combustibles
are 1" on all sides except on the
horizontal sections, which require
2" clearances from the top of the
pipe. Where the termination cap
penetrates a combustible wall, 1"
air space clearance is required.
