Appendix D-Heatshift™System - Valor 2700KN Installation Manual

Appendix D—HeatShift™System
LT Series
Planning Installation: LT1, LT1A and LT2 with HeatShift
Instructions for use with the following Valor Heater Models: 2500K, 2500KA and 2700K only
Application
The HeatShift™ system redistributes the warm air ow
away from the replace opening to a more desirable
location using natural convection without use of a fan.
Plenums LKD1, LDK3, LDK4 or LDK9: the warm air 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 ow is
discharged through a gap (min. 2-1/2" [64 mm])
between the wall above the 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
replace opening for locating televisions, artwork, etc.
As a further option, the warm air ow may be extracted
away from the duct kit plenum (LDK1 and LDK4 ONLY)
by connecting a 1270RBK Remote Blower Kit to the duct
kit plenum.
Any kit, LDK1, LDK3, LDK4, LDK7 or LDK9 may be used
with compatible model replace LT1 or LT2. These kits
are compatible with the listed replaces only.
Note: These instructions are to be used in conjunction
with instructions regarding replace installation in this
manual.

This HeatShift system may also be used to reduce
wall surface temperatures on approved outdoor
installations.
5" [127 mm] diameter duct used with this kit must be
metal and meet requirements of UL-181 Class 1 Air

or on top of air outlet(s). AVOID locating
outlet within 7 feet [2.2 m] above oor
level as discharge temperatures are hot!
WARNING

staining or streaking may occur on light
colored ceilings due to any dust, etc. in air
ow; placing plenum(s) lower on the wall
will help reduce the possibility of staining
