read these instructions through completely.
• This FMI PRODUCTS, LLC replace and
its components are safe when installed
according to this installation manual.
Unless you use FMI PRODUCTS, LLC
components, which have been designed
and tested for the replace system, you
may cause a re hazard.
• The FMI PRODUCTS, LLC warranty will
be voided by and FMI PRODUCTS, LLC
disclaims any responsibility for the following actions:
a. Modification of the fireplace, com-
ponents, doors, air inlet system and
damper control.
b. Use of any component part not manu-
factured or approved by FMI PRODUCTS, LLC in combination with a FMI
PRODUCTS, LLC replace system.
c) Installation and/or operation in a
manner other than instructed in this
manual.
d) Burning of anything other than the type
of gas approved for use in this gas
appliance.
This appliance, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
The installation must conform to local codes,
or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
This fireplace complies with the National
Safety Standards and is listed and tested by
PFS Corporation to ANSI Z21.50/CSA 2.22
standard as vented gas replace.
Proper installation is the most important step
in ensuring safe and continuous operation
of the replace. Consult the local building
codes as to the particular requirements
concerned with the installation of all factory
built replaces.
NOTICE: Decorative product not
for use as a heating appliance.
This replace must be installed by a qualied
(certied or licensed) service person. It has
a sealed gas combustion chamber that uses
a millivolt gas control valve with a millivolt
ignition system.
Models (V)DVF36TPNA/TPNPA series are
three-sided direct-vent gas replaces and
models (V)DVF36TSTA/TSTPA are two-sided
direct-vent gas replace replaces with sealed
combustion chambers.
Models (V)DVF36TPNEA/TPNPEA and (V)
DVF36STEA/TSTPEA use a direct spark
ignition with a 24 VAC control module. All
models have HI/LO valve that controls the
ame height. These units can be equipped
with louvers for circulating or with panels for
noncirculating operation.
Fan Kit model DVFFBK are available for these
units as an option. If you are uncertain as to
what gas your unit is equipped for, please
check the rating plate located in the interior
of the appliance opening or consult your local
FMI PRODUCTS, LLC distributor.

LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efcient location for your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC direct-vent
replace. Make sure that rafters and wall
studs are not in the way of the venting system.
Choose a location where heat output is not
affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. 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:
• A projection may be ideal for a new addition
on an existing nished wall. Refer to horizontal termination congurations on page
15 or vertical congurations on page 18.
• Do not connect fireplace venting to a
chimney ue serving a separate solid-fuel
burning replace or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate
replace in high trafc areas, windy or drafty
areas or near furniture or draperies.
• Never obstruct front opening of appliance
or ow of combustion and ventilation air.
Keep control compartments accessible.
• Do not locate close to where gasoline or
other ammable liquids may be stored.
Appliance must be kept clear and free from
combustible materials.

GENERAL VENTING
These models are approved for use with FMI
PRODUCTS, LLC 5"-8" Series, rigid type
direct vent pipe as supplied by FMI PROD-
UCTS, LLC or with approved types of exible
vent pipe (not supplied) when appropriate
sized for an 8" outer and 5" inner diameter
application.
Your replace is approved to be vented either
through the side wall, or vertically using the
following guidelines:
• Only use FMI PRODUCTS, LLC supplied
or approved types of venting components
or kits. Do not mix different types of vent
components, modify vent components or
custom fabricate vent components for use
in any one installation.
• Minimum clearance between vent pipes
and combustible materials is 1", except
where stated otherwise.
• Combustible material may be ush with
the top front of replace with a maximum
thickness of 3/4".
• Do not recess venting terminals into a wall
or siding.
• Do not install vent terminals below grade
level. Maintain a minimum height of 12"
above snow line.
• Do not terminate venting system into an
attic or garage.
• 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.
• 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.
VENT TERMINATION CLEARANCES
The nal position of your appliance depends
on the location of the vent termination in relation to the clearances that must be observed
as shown in Figure 14, page 10.
You may avoid extra framing by positioning
your replace against an already existing
framing member. The back of the replace
may be positioned directly against a combustible wall.
*Check with local codes. In the USA, follow
the current National Fuel Gas Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1 also known as NFPA 54.
