PRODUCT FEATURES
These are a few facts that can help you understand
and enjoy your direct-vent replace:
• The venting system may be routed to the outside of your home in several ways. It may vent
through the roof (vertical) or it may vent to an
outside/exterior wall (horizontal). The vent
pipe installation is very important to allow for
proper operation. You must follow the venting
instructions very carefully for either vertical or
horizontal applications.
• This replace may be installed in any room of
your house provided all local codes and these
installation instructions are followed.
• This replace does not require electricity to
operate.
• Only the blower requires electricity if installed.
If you plan to install the blower at a later date,
outlet must be wired at the bottom of the replace when framing.
• A piezo ignitor and ceramic electrode create
sparks to ignite the pilot light. It does not require
any matches, batteries or any other sources of
ignition to light the pilot.
• Each time you turn on your replace, you may
notice some amount of condensation on the inside of the replace glass. This is normal and will
disappear after 10-20 minutes of operation.
• Your direct-vent gas replace system (replace
and venting) is a balanced and sealed gas operating unit. It requires approximately 10-20
minutes of operating time before the ame
pattern stabilizes.
• Fireplaces with the sufx of -HA have been
designed to operate at altitudes of 4000 feet
and above.

PREPARATION
LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efcient location
for your DESA direct-vent replace. Make sure
that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the
venting system. Choose a location where the heat
output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning
ducts, windows or doors. Figure 2 shows some
common locations. Be aware of all restrictions and
precautions before deciding the exact location for
your replace and termination cap.
When deciding the location of your replace,
follow these rules:
• Do not connect this replace venting to a chimney ue serving a separate solid-fuel burning
replace or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this
replace in high trafc areas, windy or drafty
areas or near furniture or draperies.
• Proper clearances must be maintained.
• If your replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the replace. See Figure 3.
• Your replace is designed to be used in zero
clearance installations. Wall or framing material
can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the back, sides or top of your replace,
except where standoff spacers are integrally
attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your
replace, these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing material. See framing
details on page 6.
• If you plan on installing a television or entertainment center recessed above your replace, it
is recommended that you maintain a minimum
18" above top of louver opening.
• When locating termination cap, it is important
to observe the minimum clearances shown in
Figure 7, page 7.
• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra
framing by positioning your replace against
an already existing framing member.
• Do not recess termination cap into a wall or
siding.
•
You may paint the termination cap with 450º F
heat-resistant paint to coordinate with the exterior
nish.
116646-01D 5
www.desatech.com
• There must not be any obstruction such as bushes,
garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings
within 24" from the front of the termination cap.
• Do not locate termination cap where excessive
snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to clear
vent termination area after snow falls to prevent
accidental blockage of venting system. When
using snow blowers, do not direct snow towards
vent termination area.
• For horizontal installations above 2,000 feet, it
is recommended that a 12" extension pipe be
added before starter elbow and a round horizontal termination be used (see High Altitude
Installation, page 16).

VENTING INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE: Read these instruc-
tions completely before attempting installation.
These models are tested and approved for use
with DESA (direct-vent) pipe components and
terminations.
The venting system must terminate on the outside of
the structure and can not be attached to a chimney
or ue system serving a separate solid fuel or gas
burning appliance. A direct-vent appliance must
have its own venting system. DO NOT common
vent this appliance.
These models are approved to be vented either
horizontally through an outside wall or vertically
through a roof or chase enclosure using the following guidelines:
• When venting system terminates horizontally
on an outside wall, you may install a standoff
if the termination cap is to be installed directly
on a combustible nish such as vinyl, wood,
stucco, etc.
• Never run the vent downward as this may
cause excessive temperatures which could
cause a re.
• Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles
are 1" on all sides except on the horizontal
sections, which requires 2" clearance from
the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap
penetrates a combustible wall, 1" air space
clearance is required.
• Sn orkel term ina tio ns are re qui red whe n
minimum clearance to grade cannot be met (see
Figure 16 on page 12).
• Have replace and selected vent components on
hand to help determine the exact measurements
when elbowing or offsetting. Always use wall
restops when penetrating walls and restops
when penetrating ceilings or attic spaces.
• If using a venting conguration of only horizontal venting with no vertical run, a 1/4" rise
for every 12" of run toward the termination is
required.
• For installation of replace at elevations of 4000
feet or greater, pay special attention to venting
requirement recommendations.
WARNING: Read all instruc-
tions completely and thoroughly
before attempting installation.
Failure to do so could result in
serious injury, property damage
or loss of life.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these in-
structions will void the warranty.
NOTICE: Do not seal vent cap
to pipe. Cap must be removable
for service.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection
• Use extreme caution when using ladders or
when on roof tops
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls
and ceilings
The following actions will void the warranty on
your venting system:
• Installation of any damaged venting component
• Unauthorized modication of the venting system (Do not cut or alter vent components)
• Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by DESA
• Installation other than as instructed by these
instructions
WARNING: This gas replace
and vent assembly must be vented
directly to the outside. The venting
system must NEVER be attached
to a chimney serving a separate
solid fuel burning appliance. Each
direct-vent gas appliance must
use a separate vent system. Do not
use common vent systems.
WARNING: Vent pipe air
space clearances to combustibles
are 1" on all sides except on the
horizontal sections, which require
2" clearances from the top of the
pipe. Where the termination cap
penetrates a combustible wall, 1"
air space clearance is required.

INSTALLATION PLANNING
There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
Horizontal Termination Installation
IMPORTANT: Horizontal square terminations
require only inner portion of wall restop. Horizontal installations using round termination require
exterior portion of wall restop available only in
vent kit HTK (see Figure 14, page 11).
1. Set the replace in its desired location and
determine the route your horizontal venting
will take. Do not secure the replace until
all venting has been installed. Some installations require sliding the replace in and out
of position to make nal venting connections.
Figures 14 through 18 on pages 11 through 13
show different congurations for venting with
horizontal termination that will help you decide
which application best suits your installation.
Check to see if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the path of your desired venting route. If they
are, you may want to adjust the location of the
replace.
2. Direct vent pipe sections and components are
designed with special twist-lock connections.
Twist-Lock Procedure: The female ends of
the pipes have locking lugs (indentations).
These lugs will slide straight into matching
slots on the male ends of adjacent pipes.
Push pipe sections together and twist one
section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn until the sections are fully locked
(see Figure 8). Note: Horizontal runs of vent
must be supported every three feet. Use wall
straps for this purpose.
3. Use a 45° elbow to connect venting system
to replace ue collar. The elbow is designed
to be twist-locked onto the flue collar as
described in step 2. IMPORTANT: Do not
attempt to alter the conguration of the elbow
by cutting, twisting, bending, etc.
4. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and
elbows to the replace ue collar. If there are
long portions of venting run, pre-assembled
pipe sections may be installed as subassemblies for convenience.
116646-01D 9
INSTRUCTIONS
Continued
5. Carefully determine the location where the vent
pipe assembly will penetrate the outside wall.
The center of the hole should line up with the
center-line of the horizontal vent pipe. Mark the
wall for a 10 3/4" x 10 3/4" square hole. Cut and
frame the square hole in the exterior wall where
the vent will be terminated. If the wall being
penetrated is constructed of noncombustible
material, such as masonry block or concrete,
a 8 1/2" hole with zero clearance is acceptable
(see Figure 9).
WARNING: Do not recess
vent termination into any wall.
This will cause a re hazard.

6. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position the
horizontal vent cap in the center of the 8 1/2"
round hole and attach to the exterior wall with
four screws (see page 10). Note: The four wood
screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete or
other types of sidings. Before attaching the vent
cap to exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening
mastic (pliable sealant) around the outside edges
to make a seal between it and the outside wall.
Combustible Exterior Wall: For vinyl siding,
stucco or wood exteriors, a siding standoff may
be installed between the vent cap and exterior
wall. The siding standoff prevents excessive
heat from damaging the siding materials. Siding
material must be cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt the vent cap to the standoff. Apply
non-hardening mastic around outside edge of
standoff. Position the standoff/cap assembly in
the center of the 10 3/4" square hole and attach
to exterior wall with wood screws provided (see
Figure 11). The siding standoff must sit ush
against the exterior fascia material.
7. Combustible Exterior Wall Only: Slide the wall
restop over the vent pipe before connecting
horizontal run to vent cap (see Figure 12).
8. Carefully move replace, with vent assembly
attached, toward wall and insert vent pipe
into horizontal termination. The pipe overlap
should be a minimum of 1 1/4" (see Figure 13,
page 11).
9. Combustible Exterior Wall Only: Slide wall
restop against interior wall surface and attach
with screws provided (see Figure 12). See
Figure 13, page 11, for horizontal termination
details.

Snorkel terminations are available for installations
requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the building. If installing snorkel termination below grade,
you must provide proper drainage to prevent water
from entering snorkel termination (see Figure 16).
Do not back ll around snorkel termination.

INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL
TERMINATION
Note: Vertical restrictor must be installed in all
vertical installations.
1. Determine the route your vertical venting
will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters or other
framing will obstruct the venting system,
consider an offset (see Figure 19) to avoid cutting load bearing members. Note: Pay special
attention to these installation instructions for
required clearances (air space) to combustibles
when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs,
enclosures, attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air
spaces with insulation. Also note maximum
vertical rise of the venting system and any
maximum horizontal offset limitations.
2. Set the replace in desired location. Drop a
plumb line down from the ceiling to the position of the replace exit ue. Mark the center
point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling.
Drill a small locating hole at this point.
Drop a plumb line from the inside of the roof
to the locating hole in the ceiling. Mark the
center point where the vent will penetrate the
roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

Flat Ceiling Installation
1. Cut a 10 3/4" square hole in the ceiling using
the locating hole as a center point. The opening should be framed to 10 3/4" x 10 3/4" inside
dimensions, as shown in Figure 9 on page 9
using framing lumber the same size as the
ceiling joists. If the area above the ceiling is
an insulated ceiling or an attic, nail restop
from the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into the required clearance
space. If the area above the ceiling is a living
space, install restop below the framed hole.
The restop should be installed with no less
than three nails per side (see Figure 20).
2. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows necessary to reach from the replace
ue up through the restop. Be sure all pipe
and elbow connections are fully twist-locked
(see Figure 8, page 9).
3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole
as a center point. (Cover any exposed open
vent pipes before cutting hole in roof.) The
10 3/4" x 10 3/4" hole must be measured on
the horizontal; actual length may be larger
depending on the pitch of the roof. There
must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to
combustible materials. Frame the opening as
shown in Figure 9, page 9.
4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up
through the hole.
Note: If an offset is needed to avoid obstruc-
tions, you must support the vent pipe every 3
feet. Use wall straps for this purpose (see Figure 19). Whenever possible, use 45° elbows
instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers
less restriction to the ow of the ue gases
and intake air.
5. Place the ashing over the pipe section(s)
extending through the roof. Secure the base
of the ashing to the roof and framing with
roong nails. Be sure roong material overlaps the top edge of the ashing as shown in
Figure 19. There must be a 1" clearance from
the vent pipe to combustible materials.
If area above is an
attic or insulated
area, install restop
above framed hole.
If area above is a
living space, install
restop below framed
hole.
