AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a confined
space or unusually tight con
struction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combus
tion and ventilation air. Read the
following instructions to insure
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.

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 5 through 7 will help
you classify your space and provide adequate
ventilation.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

Continued

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 the three criteria
above, you must provide additional fresh
air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors,
page 7.

If your home does not meet all of the three
criteria above, proceed to Determining

Fresh-Air Flow For Fireplace Location

below.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defines
a confined space as a space whose volume is less
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appli­ances installed in that space and an unconfining
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 communicating
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

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 heater plus any adjoining rooms with door
less 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 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft.

(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 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.

__________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support)

Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =

51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

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

Vent-free fireplace ___________

Gas water heater* ___________

Gas furnace ___________

Vented gas heater ___________

Gas fireplace logs ___________

The space in the above example is a confined space
because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maxi­mum Btu/Hr the space can support. You must provide
additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoin-

ing room. If the extra space provides an unconfined
space, remove door to adjoining room or add
ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation

Air From Inside Building.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventila

tion Air From Outdoors.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/Hr

size makes room unconfined.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum
Btu/Hr the space can support,
confined space. You will need no additional fresh
air ventilation.

WARNING: If the area in
which the heater may be oper­ated is smaller than that defined
as an unconfined space or if the
building is of unusually tight
construction, provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air
by one of the methods described
in the National Fuel Gas Code,

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or
ducts. You must provide two permanent openings:
one within 12” of the ceiling and one within 12”
of the floor. Connect these items directly to the
outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These
spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for

required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

IMPORTANT:

Do not provide openings for inlet

or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat­controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic
will activate the power vent.

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining un
confined space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconfined space, you must provide two perma
nent 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 2). You
can also remove door into adjoining room (see
option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas

Installation Items Needed

Before installing fireplace, make sure you have
the items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

-

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• ground joint union

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• test gauge connection *

* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve
with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to
test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA
design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your
dealer. See

Accessories, page 35.

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 pres
sure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down
as shown in Figure 19. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

-

WARNING: This appliance
requires a 1/2" NPT (National
Pipe Thread) inlet connection
to the pressure regulator.

CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. In­ternally-tinned copper tubing
may be used in certain areas.
Check your local codes. Use

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 20).

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 heater valves.

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

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in
supply line as shown in Figure 20. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install
in piping system between fuel supply and heater.
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and
contaminants. This keeps them from going into
heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or
is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat­terns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 39 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 40 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern.
The incorrect pilot flame is not properly heating
the thermocouple. When the thermocouple cools,
the heater will shut down.

If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in
Figure 40

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli
ance, page 21)

•

see Troubleshooting, page 25

Note: The correct pilot flame on natural gas units
will have a slight curve, but flame should be blue
and have no yellow or orange color.

BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES

Air is drawn into the burner through the holes in
the fitting at the burner entrance. These holes may
become blocked with dust or lint. Periodically
inspect these holes for any blockage and clean if
needed. Blocked air holes will create soot.

MAIN BURNER

Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with the
heater running. All slotted burner flame holes should
be open with yellow flame present. All round burner
flame holes should be open with a small blue flame
present. Some burner flame holes may become
blocked by debris or rust, with no flame present. If
so, turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage.
Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burner, and circu­lating air passageways of heater
clean. Inspect these areas of
heater before each use. Have

-

heater inspected yearly by a
qualified service person. Heater
may need more frequent clean­ing due to excessive lint from
carpeting, bedding material, pet
hair, etc.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Continued

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 heater 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 43).

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 Figure 44). 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.

LIMITED WARRANTY

VENT-FREE GAS BAY FRONT FIREPLACE

DESA International warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and components for two (2) years
from the date of first purchase, provided that the product has been properly installed, operated and maintained
in accordance with all applicable instructions. To make a claim under this warranty the Bill of Sale or cancelled
check must be presented.

This warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser. This warranty covers the cost of part(s) required to
restore this fireplace to proper operating condition and an allowance for labor when provided by a DESA Autho
rized Service Center. Warranty part(s) MUST be obtained through authorized dealers of this product and/or DESA
International who will provide original factory replacement parts. Failure to use original factory replacement parts
voids this warranty. The fireplace MUST be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with all local codes
and instructions furnished with the unit.

This warranty does not apply to parts that are not in original condition because of normal wear and tear, or parts
that fail or become damaged as a result of misuse, accidents, lack of proper maintenance or defects caused by
improper installation. Travel, diagnostic cost, labor, transportation and any and all such other costs related to
repairing a defective fireplace will be the responsibility of the owner.

TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE LAW OF THE JURISDICTION THAT GOVERNS THE SALE
OF THE PRODUCT; THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESSED
WARRANTIES AND LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE TO TWO (2)
YEARS ON ALL COMPONENTS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE; AND DESA INTERNATIONALʼS
LIABILITY IS HEREBY LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT AND DESA INTERNA
TIONAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation on implied warranties, or exclusion or limitation on
damages may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
