Appendix D - Heatshift - Valor LX1 Installation Manual

Appendix D - HeatShift

Planning and Installation: LX1 with HeatShift
For use with 2100K Valor Heaters ONLY
Application
The HeatShift convection duct kit redistributes the
®
warm air fl ow away from the fi replace opening to
a more desirable location using natural convection
without use of a fan.
HeatShift Canopy Kit 2100HSC: the warm air fl ow is
gathered in a canopy hood attached to the fi replace
and relocated to an outlet in the same room. The chase
does not extend all the way to the ceiling, resulting in a
visual space above the fi replace.
Plenums LDK3 or LDK4: the warm air fl ow is relocated
to a position higher up the wall, out the sidewalls, or
even to an adjacent room.
Termination Plates LDK7: the warm air fl ow is
discharged through a gap (min. 2-1/2") between the wall
above the fi replace and the ceiling. LDK7's discharge
opening must be located in the same room as the
fireplace.
The result is much cooler wall temperatures above the
fi replace opening for locating televisions, artwork, etc.
Only the HeatShift kits listed below may be used with
the LX1.
5-inch diameter duct used with this kit must be metal
and meet requirements of UL-181 Class 1 Air Duct.
Flexible aluminum duct is acceptable provided it meets
the UL-181 Class 1 requirements.

colored ceilings due to any dust, etc. in air
fl ow; placing plenum(s) lower on the wall
