1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

When planning a heater installation, it’s
necessary to determine:

• Where the unit is to be installed.

• The vent system configuration to be used.

• Gas supply piping.

• Electrical supply wiring.

• Framing and finishing details.

40 5/8

(1032mm)

• Whether optional accessories—devices such

as wall switch, or remote control—are desired.

If the heater is to be installed on carpeting or tile,
or on any combustible material other than wood
flooring, the heater should be installed on a metal
or wood panel that extends the full width and depth
of the heater .

1.1 Locating the Heater

The diagram (See figure 2) shows space and
clearance requirements for locating a heater
within a room.

Clearance Requirements

The top, back, and sides of the heater are
defined by stand-offs.

The minimum clearance to a perpendicular
wall extending past the face of the heater is
one inch (25mm). The metal ends of the heater
may NOT be recessed into combustible
construction.

For minimum clearances, see the direct vent
termination clearance diagrams on page 7.

1.2 Framing the Heater

Framing can be built before or after the heater is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to
accommodate wall coverings and heater facing
material. The diagram below shows framing
reference dimensions.

Shows center of 12" x 12” (305mm x 305mm) flue framing
holes. The center of the hole is 25mm above the center
of the horizontal flue pipe. Framing should be constructed
of 2" x 4" (51mm x 102mm) lumber or heavier.

CAUTION: MEASURE HEATER DIMENSIONS
AND VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL

1.3 FLUE SYSTEM APPROVALS AND
INST ALLATIONS

This model is approved to use D-Series flue pipe
components. A DVK-01DA, DVK-03DA or DVK-01TR
Termination Cap must be used to terminate vent sys­tems in a horizontal position. DVK-TVCD vertical Ter­mination Caps must be used to terminate vent systems
in a vertical position.

Figures 6 through 10 show the flue systems approved
for use with these models. Approved flue system com­ponents are labeled for identification. NO OTHER FLUE
SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED. De­tailed installation instructions are included with each
flue termination kit and should be used in conjunction
with this manual.

W ARNING: THIS GAS APPLIANCE AND FLUE AS-

SEMBL Y MUST BE FLUED DIRECTLY TO THE OUT­SIDE AND MUST NEVER BE ATT ACHED TO A CHIM­NEY SERVING A SEP ARA TE SOLID FUEL BURNING
APPLIANCE. EACH GAS APPLIANCE MUST USE A
SEP ARATE FLUE SYSTEM-COMMON FLUE SYSTEMS
ARE PROHIBITED.

CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD COM-

BUSTIBLE MATERIAL BE CLOSER THAN 3 INCHES
(2 1/2 INCHES A T WALL FIRESTOPS) FROM THE TOP
OF THE 8 5/8-INCH PIPE OR 1-INCH TO THE SIDES
AND THE BOTTOM FOR HORIZONT AL SECTIONS OF
THIS FLUE SYSTEM. VERTICAL SECTIONS OF THIS
SYSTEM REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 1-INCH CLEAR­ANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MA TERIALS ALL AROUND
THE 8 5/8 - INCH PIPE.

For alternative installations, other than depicted, con­tact your dealer for further information.

ELBOWS

The flue systems installed on this gas heater may also
include one (1), two (2), or three (3) 90 - degree elbow
assemblies, in addition to the 45 - degree elbow re­quired at the unit.

Figures 7 through 10 and their corresponding tables show
examples of vent configurations using elbows. The rela­tionships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent con­figurations using elbows MUST be strictly adhered to.

ONE (1) 90-DEGREE ELBOW

Figure 7 shows an installation using one (1) 90-degree
elbow. Dimension V is listed as MINIMUM vertical di-
mensions and dimension H is listed as corresponding

MAXIMUM horizontal dimensions.

TWO (2) 90-DEGREE ELBOWS

Figure 8 shows examples of possible installations us­ing two (2) 90-degree elbows. Dimension V is listed as
MINIMUM vertical dimensions, dimension H is listed
as MAXIMUM beginning horizontal dimensions, and
dimension H+H1 is listed as corresponding TOTAL

MAXIMUM horizontal dimensions.

THREE (3) 90-DEGREE ELBOWS

Figures 9 and 10 show examples of possible installa­tions using three (3) 90-degree elbows. Dimensions V
are listed MINIMUM first vertical dimensions and di­mensions H are listed as beginning MAXIMUM hori­zontal dimensions. Dimensions H+H1 and H+H1+H2 are
listed as TOTAL MAXIMUM horizontal dimensions.
Dimensions V+V1 are listed as TOT AL MAXIMUM ver­tical dimensions.

NOTE: When the 450 elbow is attached horizontally,
the supplied heat shield must be installed (see Figure 5).
