California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6
DVRT41Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket
permanently located, manufactured home or mobile
home, where not prohibited by local codes.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not
convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified
kit is used.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the
fireplace ON.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine. It is
not unusual for your CFM Specialty Home Products
company gas fireplace to give off some odor the first
time it is burned. This is due to the manufacturing
process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated
-open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the
optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch
in the “OFF” position during this time.

Final Finishing
Noncombustible materials such as brick or tile can be
extended over the edges of the face of the fireplace. Do
not cover the window frame assembly, any vent,
louvre assembly top or louvre assembly bottom. If a
Trim Kit is to be installed, brick and tile will have to be
installed flush with the side of this appliance.
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration for elevations up to
4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA,
installations must be in accordance with the
current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes
having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction for installations at
elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).
Gas Line Installation
When purging gas line the front glass
must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right
side of the appliance. Knockouts are provided at
convenient locations to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection.
The gas line connection can be made with properly
tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 1/2" rigid pipe or an approved
flex connector. Since some municipalities have
additional local codes, it is always best to consult your
local authority and the CSA-B149.1 installation codes.
For USA installations consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution applied with a
brush no larger than 1” (25mm). Never
apply soap and water solution with a
spray bottle. Do not use an open flame
for leak testing.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures exceeding
1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this or any
other gas appliance control from the gas
line when pressure testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to
provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. Always provide a union when using
black iron pipe so that the gas line can be easily
disconnected for burner or fan servicing. (Fig. 6) See
the gas specifications for pressure details and ratings.

General Information Assembling Vent Pipes
Canadian Installations
The venting system must be installed in accordance
with the current CSA-B149.1 installation code.
USA Installations
The venting system must conform to local codes and/or
the current National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Only venting components manufactured by CFM
Corporation may be used in Direct Vent systems.
Flex Vent Pipes
Before joining the flex vent pipe to the unit, apply a
bead of high temperature sealant* (provided) to the 4”
pipe exiting the fireplace. Secure flex vent piep in place
with a hose clamp (provided).
*Be sure the flex pipe overlaps at least 1” (25mm) onto
the collars of the fireplace and termination. If the
termination has an internal bead, be sure to overlap
and secure 1” (25mm) past the bead.
* Be sure the venint is actually crushed before proceeding. Apply a tug to be sure the vent will not slip off
the collars.
Repeat process with 7” flex vent pipe. The same
procedure must be performed on the vent side.

Twist Lock Pipes
DVRT41Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
When using twist lock pipe it is not necessary to use
sealant on the joints. The only areas of the venting
system that need to be sealed with high temperature
silicone sealant are the collars on the fireplace and
termination, and the sliding joint of any telescopic vent
section used in the system.
To join twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads
of the male end with the grooves of the female end,
twisting the pipe until the flange on the female end
contacts external flange on the male end. It is recommended that you secure the joints with three (3) sheet
metal screws, however, this is not mandatory with twist
lock pipe. (Fig. 17)
To make it easier to assembly the joints, we suggest
putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end
of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.

How to Use the Vent Graph
The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the
following vent installation instructions to determine the
relationship between the vertical and horizontal dimensions fo the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal
vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this
dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 17),
locate the point intersecting with the slanted graph
line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical
line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the
fireplace in accordance with same.
EXAMPLE A:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 11’
(3.4m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall
must not exceed 14’ (4.3m).
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 7’
(2.1m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall
must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6m).

Rear Wall V ent Application
When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be
vented directly to a termination located on the rear wall
behind the appliance.
• Only CFM Corporation venting components are
approved to be used in these applications (See
‘Venting Components’ listed for different installation
requirements).
• The maximum horizontal distance between the rear
of the appliance (or end of the transition elbow in a
corner application) and the outside face of the rear
wall is 20” (508mm). (Fig. 19, 20)
• Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipe and com-
bustible materials are as follows:
Top - 2" (51 mm)
Sides - 1" (25 mm)
Bottom - 1" (25 mm)

Rear Wall Vent Installation
Step 1
Locate and cut the vent opening in the wall. For combustible walls first frame in opening. (Fig. 21)
NOTE: When using flex vent, the opening will have to
be measured according to the 1/2” (13mm) rise in 12”
(305mm) vertical run.
Combustible Walls: Cut a 10³⁄₈”H x 9³⁄₈” W (265mm x
240mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as
shown. (Fig. 21)
Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening should be 7¹⁄₂”
(191mm) diameter.
Zero clearance sleeve is only required for
combustible walls.
Step 2
Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve
parts to proper length (Maximum 12” / 305mm). Assemble sleeve to its maximum opening (10³⁄₈” x 9³₈”)
and attach to firestop assembly. (Fig. 22)
Step 3
Measure the horizontal length requirement for the
venting including a 2” (51mm) overlap, i.e. from the
elbow to the outside wall face plus 2” (51mm). (Fig. 20)

Step 4
Install the 4” (102mm) vent to the appliance collar and
secure with 3 sheet metal screws. Install the 7”
(178mm) vent pipe to the appliance collar and secure
with 3 sheet metal screws. It is not necessary to seal
this connection. If a 45° elbow is being used attach the
elbow to the appliance in the same manner then attach
the venting to the elbow.
It is critical that there is no downward
slope away from the appliance when
connecting the vent or elbow.
Step 5
Guide the venting through the vent hole as you place
the appliance in its installed position. Guide the 4”
(102mm) and 7” (178mm) collar of the vent termination
into the outer ends of the venting. Do not force the
termination. If the vent pipes do not align with the
termination, remove and realign the venting at the
appliance flue collars. (Fig. 23) Attach the termination
to the wall as outlined in the instruction sheet supplied
with the termination.

Step 3
Install the 4” (102mm) flex vent pipe to the appliance
collars described in “General Information Assembling
Vent Pipes”, Page 12. If the installation requires a 45°
angle, grasp the vent pipe close to the appliance collar
and bend to 45°. DO NOT exceed 45°. (Fig. 24)
Install the 7” vent pipe in the same manner as Step 2.

Since it is very important that the venting system
maintain its balance between the combustion air
intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations
as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly
adhered to.
The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between
vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to
determine the various dimensions allowable.
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is 1” (25mm) on top, bottom and
sides unless otherwise noted.
When vent termination exits through foundations less
than 20” (508mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe
must flush up with the siding.
It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that
minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent
length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent
pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace (or the top of
the Transition Elbow) to the face of the outer wall.
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this
portion of the vent assembly.
When installing the appliance as a rear
vent unit, the 90° or 45° Transition Elbow
attached directly to the rear of the unit is
NOT INCLUDED in the following criteria
and calculations, and unless specifically
mentioned should be ignored when
calculating venting layouts.
NOTE: There must be a 1/2” (13mm) rise in a 12”
(305mm) length of flex vent.
Step 4
Assemble the flex vent to the collars on the termination
as you did on the appliance.
