FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your fireplace, you must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for all the proper clearances (see Figure 2).
2. Consider a location where the heat output would not be affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will
make installation easier.
4. If an outside air kit is to be installed, accessibility to outside
combustion air must be considered. This can also be achieved
through a vented crawl space in some cases, for more details
refer to the section on outside air kit installation.
The typical installation for a V3610ST is a projected installation, which
allows you to extend the fireplace any distance into the room. A
projection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing, finished wall.

fireplace must be installed upon a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the fireplace.
Construct framing using dimensions shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8,
depending on your particular installation.
Before securing fireplace to prepared framing, the ember protector
(provided) must be placed between hearth extensions (not supplied), and bottom front edge of the fireplace to protect against
glowing embers (see Figure 9, page 6). If the fireplace is to be
installed on a raised platform, a “Z”-type ember protector (not
supplied) must be fabricated to fit your required platform height (see
Figure 8). The ember protector should be made of 28 gauge
minimum, galvanized sheet metal to prevent corrosion.

WARNING: After ensuring that the gas valve is ON,
test all gas piping and connections for leaks after
installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for
a leak. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all
leaks at once.
Note:
An appropriate DESA hood (see Replacement and Accessory
Parts, page 16) must be installed when using an unvented gas log set.
CAUTION: When using a decorative appliance,
the damper must be removed or permanently locked
in the open position.
VENTING INSTALLTION
CHIMNEY PIPE INSTALLATION
The DESA chimney system is a snap-lock, double wall pipe. It
consists of a stainless steel inner flue pipe(s), a galvanized outer
pipe, and a wire spacer.
Each section of pipe comes in lengths of 12, 18, 36, and 48 inches,
but the actual lineal gain for each is measured after each section is
fully connected. Lineal gain is the actual measurable length of a part
after two or more parts are connected.
PIPE INSTALLATION
Place pipe assembly (inner and outer with wire spacer) over starter
collar. Inner pipe(s) fit inside inner pipe(s). Outer pipe fits outside
outer pipe.
Begin by aligning hemmed end of inner flue pipe into the inner starting
flue pipe of fireplace. Push down until hem “snap-locks” with lances. The
outer pipe is just the opposite, the female end has the lances. Continue the
same procedure for the outer pipe (see Figure 16). It is important to assure
the joints between the chimney sections are fully locked. Check by pulling
chimney upward after locking pipe hem(s). The chimney should not
come apart if properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep
vertical or angled chimney runs together.
WARNING: The opening around the starter collar on
top of the fireplace must never be obstructed. Never use
blown insulation to fill the chimney enclosure.

FIRESTOP SPACERS
Firestop spacers are required at each point where the chimney
penetrates a floor or ceiling joist space. Their purpose is twofold.
They establish and maintain the required clearance between the
outer pipe and combustible materials, they also serve as a shield
between floors as required by most codes.
When penetrating a floor or ceiling at an angle, use firestop spacer
number 30 FS-10DM (see Replacement and Accessory Parts,
back page).
When the pipe passes through a framed opening into a living space
above, a firestop must be placed on the ceiling below (see Figure 17,
page 9). When the pipe passes through a framed opening into an attic
space above, a firestop must be placed on the attic floor above (see
Figure 18, page 9).

The chimney support section is a 4-inch strap and 12 inch length of pipe.
A chimney support is required every 30 feet above the fireplace after a
straight chimney run, or above a return elbow after a straight chimney
run (see Figure 20). This support is designed to relieve the extra weight
load on the fireplace and elbows when high chimneys are installed.
To achieve desired offset, you may install combinations of 12, 18,
36, and 48 inch lengths of double wall pipe. See Figure 21 and Rise

least 2 feet above the roof within a 10 foot horizontal span (see
Figure 23).
IMPORTANT:
above the roof line, use support wires to keep chimney secure. The
support wires may be attached to the outer pipe of the chimney with
screws, provided the screws do not penetrate the inner flue pipe.
Figure 23 - 10 Foot Rule
If an exposed portion of chimney is greater than 4 feet
Figure 22 - Typical Offset Installations
Minimum Chimney Height
The minimum chimney height (measured from bottom of fireplace to
flue gas outlet-end of pipe) is 16 feet for a straight run, 16 feet minimum
for a run with 1 elbow set, and 25 feet minimum for a run with 2 elbow
sets. (A set consists of one starter elbow and one return elbow.)
Uncommon circumstances such as neighboring hills, tall trees, or
strong wind areas can cause down drafts in the chimney system. In
such cases going beyond the minimum recommended height would
be preferable to provide a better draw.
Maximum Chimney Height
The fireplace height approved for any chimney run with this
fireplace system is 40 feet measured from bottom of fireplace to flue
outlet-end of pipe. See Figure 24, page 11

caulking to all seams and notches around storm collar and also at
base around shingles.
Terminations
The fireplace system must be terminated with the listed round top or
chase terminations. In any case, refer to the installation instructions
supplied with the terminations.
The terminations approved for this fireplace are RTL-10DM,
which can be used for flashing, or chase and ETL-10DM for
chase style termination only. Figure 28 shows an RTL-10DM
round top termination.
CAUTION: Do not seal openings on the rooftop
flashing. Follow the installation instructions provided with the termination being used.

Chase Installation
Instructions for chase installations are included with the chase style
termination chosen. However, it is worthy to mention here that in a
multiple chase installation, provide adequate distance between
terminations, or smoke spillage from one termination to another
may occur. We suggest terminations be separated at least 30 inches
center to center, and stacked at a vertical height difference of 18
inches vertically from one termination to the other (see Figure 29).

Figure 29 - Chase Clearances
INSTALLING FIREPLACE FACING
Any noncombustible material may be used for facing (glass, tile,
brick, etc.) as long as the proper clearances are adhered to and the
fireplace openings are not obstructed in any way. Refer to Clearances,
page 5, and Figure 30).
Use only heat resistant, noncombustible mortar or adhesive when
securing facing material to the front of the fireplace. When placing
facing at the upper edge of the effective opening of the fireplace, provide
an “L” shaped piece of metal, extending the full width of the opening.
Secure with sheet metal screws at a distance high enough from the
edge as to not interfere with the operation of doors. This assures that
the facing material, in time, should not block the opening if it where
to lose cohesion.

Glass Doors
OPERATING GUIDELINES
AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the V3610ST fireplace. Glass doors
come in cabinet type and BI-fold type. Check with your local
distributor for availability and options.
To install glass doors, refer to the installation instructions that are
included with the glass door kit.
When the fireplace is in operation, all doors must be in the FULLY
OPEN or FULLY CLOSED position only or a fire hazard may be
created (see Figure 31 and 32).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates much differently
than a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace with glass doors has
a limited amount of air for combustion. Excessive heat within the
fireplace can result if too large a fire is built or if the combustion air
gate is not completely open.
The following tips should be followed to assure that both the fireplace
and the glass door retain their beauty and function properly.
• Both flue damper and the glass doors must be fully open before
starting the fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and
maintain safe temperatures in the firebox. If operating with glass
doors closed, do so at this time. Do not operate with doors partially open. Doors must be fully open or fully closed.
• The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly . The tempered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, which is more than other such materials as
pitch laden logs, very dry mill end lumber, large amounts of
paper or cardboard boxes.
• Always keep the fire well back from the doors and never allow
flames to contact the glass.

WARNING: Fireplaces equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with the doors fully open or
fully closed. Doors left partly open may draw gas (if
used) and flame out of the fireplace opening, creating
risk of both fire and smoke.
Cleaning the Glass
Clean glass with any commercial glass cleaner or soap and water.
DO NOT use any abrasive material to clean glass. DO NOT clean
glass with cool water if the glass is still too hot from the fire. To
remove doors, refer to instructions included with glass door kit.

DAMPER MECHANISM
The damper control lever is located inside the fire chamber (see
Figure 33). Make sure lever is cool before handling. Pull down to
CLOSE, push up to OPEN. The damper must be open when lighting
a fire. Not doing so will cause smoke spillage into the room. When
the fireplace is not in use, close the damper to prevent down drafts
to enter the room.

OUTSIDE AIR MECHANISM
The outside air handle is located at the right hand side of the fireplace
rear refractory (see Figure 33). Pull to close, push to open. Always
open the mechanism when starting a fire. This provides adequate
outside combustion air. Close the mechanism when not in use to
prevent cold air from entering the room. Periodically check you’re
outside air intake vent hood for any possible obstructions such as
snow, bushes, etc.
GRATE
The grate is designed to provide you with the maximum solid fuel
capacity. Do not attempt to defeat its purpose. Doing so may cause
smoke spillage and a fire hazard. Do not overload the grate or
obstruct the required air space beneath it. Always keep ashes from
building up under the grate.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE! Replace grate with
DESA model 3610ST-GR grate only.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the
front of the fireplace clear of all obstacles and materials.
WARNING: Children and adults should be alerted
to the hazards of high surface temperatures, and to
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young
children should be carefully supervised when they
are in the same room as the fireplace.
For further operating guidelines, instructions, and warranty information not contained in this owner’s manual, contact your authorized dealer.
