AIR FOR
COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater 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 insure proper fresh air for this
and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
Today’s 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
efficient, 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 fuelburning 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
following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 4 through 6 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
outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with
a rating of one perm (6 x 10
per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed
b. weather stripping has been
added on openable windows and
doors
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
From Outdoors
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to

De-
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 m3 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 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 passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER 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 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:
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 = (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example:
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
Vent-free heater ____________________Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* ____________________Btu/Hr
Gas furnace ____________________Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater ____________________Btu/Hr
Gas fireplace logs ____________________Btu/Hr
Other gas appliances* + ___________________Btu/Hr
Total =___________________Btu/Hr
* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.
_________________ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
_________________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example:
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 adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoin-
ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building, page 6.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 6.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, 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, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no
additional fresh air ventilation.
Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) =2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)
2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 = 51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example:
Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/Hr
Vent-free heater + 30,000 Btu/Hr
Total = 70,000 Btu/Hr
51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
70,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
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
104462
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3
5

CONNECTING TO GAS
SUPPLY
WARNING: This appliance requires a 1/2" NPT (National Pipe
Thread) inlet connection to the
pressure regulator.
WARNING: A qualified service
person must connect heater to
gas supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect
heater directly to the propane/LP
supply. This heater requires an
external regulator (not supplied).
Install the external regulator between the heater and propane/LP
supply.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing heater, make sure you have
the items listed below.
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
* 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 33.
The gas inlet connection for the stove heater
is located on the lower right-hand side of the
stove when viewed from the front of the
unit. The gas connection can be made either
through the bottom right side or through the
lower back opening as illustrated in Figure
19. Make sure gas log heater is secured to
the stove cavity assembly.
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, heater regulator damage
could occur. Install external regulator with
the vent pointing down as shown in Figure
20. 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"
diameter or greater to allow
WARNING: Never connect
heater to private (non-utility) gas
wells. This gas is commonly

pipe is too small, undue loss of
volume will occur.
known as wellhead gas.

Panel
Installation must include a 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 21, SVYD18PR and
FSVYD18PR series, or Figure 22, page 13,
SVYD18P and FSVYD18P series).
IMPORTANT:
Install equipment shutoff
valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or
shutting off the gas to the appliances.
Check your building codes for any special
requirements for locating equipment shutoff
valve to fireplaces.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater
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,
pet hair, bedding material, etc.
CLEANING 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 compressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you don't follow directions on the can, you could damage the pilot
assembly. Note: Removing the rear panel
(Figure 5, page 8) and top grate(s) of your
stove will make cleaning easier.
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 35).
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 assembly. There is a small pilot air
inlet hole about two inches from where the
pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly
(see Figure 36). 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.

DESA International warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and components for four (4) 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 heater to proper
operating condition and an allowance for labor when provided by a DESA Authorized 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 heater 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 heater 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

LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
