AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This ﬁreplace shall not be installed in a conﬁned space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to in sure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Todayʼs homes are built more energy efﬁcient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efﬁ cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, ﬁreplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

Continued

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three fol lowing ventilation classiﬁcations:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconﬁned Space

3. Conﬁned Space

The information on pages 6 through 8 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is deﬁned as construction where:

a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out

side atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10 less with openings gasketed or sealed and

b. weather stripping has been added on

openable windows and doors and

c. caulking or sealants are applied to

areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and ﬂoors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

If your home meets all of these three

criteria, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.

If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Fireplace Location.

Conﬁned and Unconﬁned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 deﬁnes a conﬁned space as a space whose

volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m

-11

kg per pa-sec-m2) or

per kw) of the aggregate input

rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconﬁned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms com municating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconﬁned space.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if

there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills

between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR FIREPLACE LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Conﬁned or Unconﬁned Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a conﬁned or unconﬁned space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install ﬁreplace plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x

width x height).

Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.

(volume of space)

Example: Space size 16 ft. (length) x 14 ft.

(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 1792 cu. ft. (volume of space)

If additional ventilation to adjoining room is

supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.

2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine

the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

__________ ( vo l u me o f s p ac e ) x 20 =

(Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support) Example: 1792 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =

35,840 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in

the space.

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconﬁned space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconﬁned space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the ﬂoor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 5). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 5). Fol low the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: This appliance requires a 45° male ﬂare ﬁtting 5/8"-18 UNF (Uniﬁed National Fine Thread) inlet connection and the ﬂexible gas line provided.

WARNING: A qualiﬁed service person must connect ﬁreplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never connect natural gas ﬁreplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

IMPORTANT: For natural gas, check gas line pressure before connecting ﬁreplace to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater than 14 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher, heater regulator damage could occur.

CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP ﬁreplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This ﬁreplace requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the ﬁreplace and propane/LP supply.

For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, ﬁreplace regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 22. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" or greater diameter to allow proper gas volume to ﬁre place. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

www.desatech.com

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see Figure 23).

IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special re quirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to ﬁreplaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged ﬁreplace valves.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off ﬁreplace

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and circulating air passageways of ﬁreplace clean. Inspect these areas of ﬁreplace before each use. Have ﬁreplace inspected yearly by a qualiﬁed service person. Fireplace may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, pet hair, bedding material, etc.

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in

sooting and property damage.

BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE

The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning ﬂame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint, and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have ﬁreplace inspected yearly by a qualiﬁed service person.

We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local computer store, hardware store, or home center may carry compressed air in a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using com pressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you donʼt follow directions on the can, you could damage the pilot assembly.

1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.

2. Inspect burner, pilot, and primary air inlet holes on injector holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 56, page 29).

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.

4. Check the injector holder located at the end of the burner tube again. Remove any large particles of dust, dirt, lint, or pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.

5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.

6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.

Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot ﬂame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot as sembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about two inches from where the pilot ﬂame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Figures 57 or 58 depend ing on model). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.
