codes to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988. If the optional air-circulating
fan is installed, it must be grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987. Within the
State of Massachusetts this replace must comply with NFPA-54 Chapter 10.
CAUTION!
Due to its high operating temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of trac and away from furniture and draperies.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the
high surface temperature, which could cause burns or clothing
ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in
the same room as the appliance.
• Clothing or other ammable materials should not be placed on
or near the appliance.
What is Combustible?
Materials that can catch re and burn are considered combustible. Any material that
is made of, or faced with, wood, wood pulp, paper, plastic or any other material that
can catch re and burn is considered combustible. Even though these materials may
have been 'ame-proofed', made 're-resistant' or are 're-rated' they are considered
combustible.
The combustibility of a material can be tested per "ASTM E136 Standard Test Method
for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 Degrees C". Note that 'reresistant' does NOT mean non-combustible.
Note: If a certain material has a core considered to be non-combustible (in accordance
with ASTM E136) but is faced with a combustible material then the material is
considered to be combustible.
When in doubt, ask for an ASTM E136 compliance statement.
What is Non-combustible?
A given material is said to be non-combustible when it cannot catch re and burn.
For example, materials made entirely, or in combinations, of, stone, brick, concrete,
tile, steel, plaster or glass are considered non-combustible.
For the purposes of the installations described in this Manual, those materials that
have passed the ASTM E136 tests are considered to be non-combustible.
As of this writing, the materials listed below are reported by their manufacturers to
be non-combustible (in accordance with ASTM E136):

Installation
Installing The Fireplace Shell
The replace may be installed in any location that maintains proper clearances to air
conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as eciency of
operation, must be considered when selecting the replace location. Try to select a
location that does not interfere with room trac, has adequate ventilation, and oers
an accessible pathway for direct vent installation. Refer to Page 4 - Vent Installation
for more information.

Clearances
These clearances apply to all dimensions except the framed opening, where the
clearance to combustibles is 0". The DV 52 ST clearance to unprotected combustible
walls which are perpendicular to the replace opening, must not project beyond the
shaded area shown in Figure 24.
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that outer walls of
the chase be insulated with a vapor barrier. This will reduce the possibility of a cold-air
convection current on the replace.

Frame the replace cavity according to Figure 2.
Slide the replace into the cavity. Tack four studs (vertical) in place as shown in
Figure 2a. Secure the replace in position by nailing into these cleats. (Minimum
2" clearance must still be maintained around the vent pipes.)

DV 52 ST See-thru Gas Fireplace
Installing The Gas Line
The gas line must be installed before nishing the DV 52 ST Fireplace. Natural Gas
requires a minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 5.5" w.c. and a manifold pressure of
3.5" w.c. Propane Gas requires a minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 11" w.c. and
a manifold pressure of 10" w.c. Provision must also be made for a ⁄" N.P.T. plugged
tapping and be accessible for test gauge connection immediately upstream of the
gas supply controls to the appliance. The replace gas connection and the main
operating gas valve is located behind the removable trim at the bottom of the unit
and need only be attached to the gas line with an approved tting, as required by
the applicable installation codes.
To access the replace gas connection the main burner must be removed
as shown below in Figure 5a.
• Only use gas shut-o valves approved for use by the state, province, region, or
governing body, in which the appliance is being installed, or as required by the
applicable installation codes.
• Flexible gas connectors must not exceed 3 feet in length, unless it is allowable within
applicable installation codes.
The appliance and its individual shut-o valve must be disconnected from the gas

Vent Installation
This section covers the installation of direct venting and terminations.
Installation Requirements
• DV 52 ST replaces are certied for use with European Home 5"/8" venting components.
• Minimum clearance to combustible construction around the vent pipe is 1" on all sides,
except on horizontal venting where the top of the pipe must have a clearance of at least 2".
• Use only certied European Home vent components. (Use of other parts will void the
European Home warranty, and may impede the operation of the replace.)
• All joints must be secured with a minimum of two screws per joint
• Vent terminations must not be recessed in walls or siding
• Horizontal runs must be supported by a minimum of two supports per horizontal run. A
minimum of one screw on each side of support is also required
• Flex vent sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length (e.g. a 24" section
may be stretched to 36")
• Flex vent sections over 6 feet must fall within the limits set by the venting graph and must
have a minimum vertical rise of 3 inches per foot of ex.
• Solid vent sections may be cut less than half way from the female end
• Venting components can be used in any combination of solid/rigid pipe or ex pipe and
in any orientation - male connectors can face in any direction

supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-o valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
Note: After gas line is connected, each appliance connection, valve and
valve train must be checked while under normal operating pressure
with either a liquid solution, or leak detection device, to locate any
source of leak. Tighten any areas where bubbling appears or leak is
detected until bubbling stops completely or leak is no longer detected.
DO NOT use a ame of any kind to test for leaks.
Cautions:
• Vent terminations can be very hot. If the termination is less than
7 feet above a public walkway, it should be tted with a certied
European Home Heat Guard. (Part no. PTKOG).
• Do not obstruct, or attempt to conceal, the vent termination.
These actions will aect the operation of the replace, and may
be hazardous.
• In heavy snow areas, take extra care to prevent snow buildup from
obstructing the vent termination.
• Use European Home VSS Vinyl Shield when using on applications
with vinyl siding to guard against possible damage.
Installing The Remote Switch
The DV 52 ST gas valve, located behind the lower horizontal panel, may be connected
to a wall switch. The valve generates its own power on a millivolt circuit. Use only
low voltage wire, and DO NOT connect any external power to it.
Note: The switch location must not exceed 30' from the replace.
