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.

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).
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.

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.

• If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run
(level height maintained) the horizontal vent length
is reduced by 36” (914mm). (Fig. 28 & 29) This does
not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or
redirect a vertical rise. (Fig. 26)
Example: According to the vent graph (Page 13) the
maximum horizontal vent length in a system with a 7¹⁄₂’
(2.3m) rise is 20’ (6m) and if a 90° elbow is required in
the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17’ (5.2m).

• The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per
side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can
be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
• For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run,
the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced
by 18” (457mm). This does not apply if the 45°
elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent
system.
Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary
to first position the fireplace and measure to obtain
hole location. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or noncombustible, cut opening to size. (Fig.
31) (For combustible walls first frame in opening.)
NOTE: When using flex vent, the opening will have to
be measured according to the 1/2” (13mm) rise in 12”
(305mm) vent run.
Combustible Walls: Cut a 9³⁄₈”H x 9³⁄₈”W (240mm x
240mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as
shown. (Fig. 31)
Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening must be 7¹⁄₂”

collard into their respective vent pipes. Double check
that the vent pipes overlap the collars by 2” (51mm).
Secure the termination to the wall with screws provided
and caulk around the wall plate to weatherproof. As an
alternative to screwing the termination directly to the
wall, you may also use expanding plugs or an approved exterior construction adhesive. You may also
attach the termination with screws through the inner
body into the 4” vent pipe, however for this method,
you must extend the 4” pipe approximately 6” (152mm)
beyond the outer face of the wall.
Support horizontal pipes every 36”

Install the 4” flex then 7” flex to the termination.
NOTE: The 40” (1016mm) flex vent is used for 90° off
the top of the unit then out the back wall.
Follow Step 1 and 2 on Page 17.
Step 3
Install the four (4) spacer springs on the 4” flex vent
pipe. When installing the spacer springs around the 4”
pipe, stretch the spring to approximately 15” (381mm),
wrap the spring around the pipe and interlock the ends
of the spacer spring approximately 2” (51mm). Measure 6³⁄₄” (172mm) from the end of the pipe. Place the

Below Grade Installation
When it is not possible to meet the required vent
terminal clearances of 12” (305mm) above grade level,
a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation
depth down to 7” (178mm) below grade level. The 7”
(178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal
vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
Ensure the sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground,
we recommend a window well with adequate and
proper drainage to be installed around the termination area.
If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24” (610mm) vertical
rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the
24” vertical pipe is 36” (914mm). This measurement is
taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition
elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. See the Sidewall
Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 24” (610mm).
1. Establish vent hole through the wall (Fig. 31)
2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16”
(406mm) below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe.
Install window well (not supplied). Refill hole with
12” (305mm) of coarse gravel leaving a clearance of
approximately 4” (102mm) below snorkel. (Fig. 37)
3. Install vent system.
4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent
pipe coming through the wall.
5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied)
around the 4” and 7” snorkel collars.
6. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to
the wall.
7. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4” (102mm)
clearance below snorkel. (Fig. 37)

Do not back fill around snorkel.
A clearance of at least 4” must be main-

If the foundation is recessed, use recess brackets (not
supplied) for securing lower portion of the snorkel.
Fasten brackets to wall first, then secure to snorkel
with self drilling #8 x 1/2 sheet metal screws. It will be
necessary to extend vent pipes out as far as the
protruding wall face. (Fig. 38)
• Vertical installations up to 40’ (12m) in height. Up to
a 10’ (3m) horizontal vent run can be installed within
the vent system using a maximum of two 90°
elbows. (Fig. 39)
• Up to two 45° elbows may be used within the
horizontal run. For each 45° elbow used on the
horizontal plane, the maximum horizontal length
must be reduced by 18” (450mm).
Example: Maximum horizontal length:
No elbows= 10’ (3m)
1 x 45° elbow= 8.5’ (2.6m)
2 x 45° elbows = 7’ (2.1m)
• A minimum of an 8’ (2.5m) vertical rise is required.
• Two sets of 45° elbow offsets may be used within
the vertical sections. From 0 to a maximum of 8’
(2.5m) of vent pipe can be used between elbows.
(Fig. 40)
• 7DVCS supports offsets. (Fig. 42) This application
will require that you first determine the roof pitch
and use the appropriate starter kit. (Refer to Venting
Components List)
• The maximum angular variation allowed in the
system is 270°. (Fig. 40)
• The minimum height of the vent above the highest
point of penetration through the roof is 2’ (610mm).

Glass Cleaning
It is necessary to clean the glass periodically. During
start-up condensation, which is normal, forms on the
inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other
airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also
initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass.
It is therefore recommended the glass be cleaned two
or three times with a non-ammonia household cleaner
and warm water (gas fireplace glass cleaner is
recommended). After the initial cleaning process the
glass should be cleaned two or three times during each
operating season depending on the environment in the
house.
Clean the glass after the first two weeks of
operation.
Do not clean glass when hot.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Do not strike or slam the glass.

Inspecting the Venting System
This appliance venting system is designed and constructed to develop a positive flow adequate to remove
flue gases to the outside atmosphere.
Any foreign objects in the venting system, except those
designed specifically for the venting system, may cause
spillage of flue gases.
To inspect the venting system, make sure the main gas
valve is off. Remove window frame assembly (Refer to
Window Frame Assembly Removal Section). Using a
flashlight, check the area above the baffle in the combustion dome. Clean if necessary.

testing, complete the following:
1. Make sure the spade connectors are pushed all the
way on. If the Error Code 3 is still showing, then go
to the next step.
2. Switch the front two thermopile leads with the back
two. Be sure the white lead is connected to the
spade with the white dot next to it. If the Error Code
3 is still showing, replace the thermopiles.
If an Error Code 8 is observed while performing the
testing, complete the following:
1. Confirm the valve is not in REMOTE mode.
• If the valve is producing Error Code 8 and in
REMOTE mode, the valve is defective and should
be replaced.
• If the valve is in LOCAL mode and producing
Error Code 8, then go to the next step.

Maintenance
Burner and Burner Compartment
It is important to keep the burner and the burner
compartment clean. At least once per year the logs and
lava rock/ember material should be removed and the
burner compartment vacuumed and wiped out. Remove
and replace the logs as per the instructions in this
manual.
Always handle the logs with care as they
are fragile and may also be hot if the
fireplace has been in use.
FK24/FK12 Fan Assembly
The fan unit requires periodic cleaning. At least once
per month in the operating season, open the lower
louvre panels and wipe or vacuum the area around the
fan to remove any build up of dust or lint.
Brass Trim
Clean the brass trim pieces using a soft cloth lightly
dampened with lemon oil. Do not use water or
household cleaners on any brass components.
Contact your local representative to arrange an annual
service program.
Cleaning the Standing
Pilot Control System
The burner and control system consists of
• burner tube• gas orifice
• pilot assembly• thermopile
• millivolt gas valve
Most of these components may require only an occasional checkup and cleaning and some may require
adjustment. If repair is necessary, it should be
performed by a qualified technician.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot
and burner’s flame characteristics are steady, not lifting
or floating.
Typically, the top 3/8” or 1/2” of the thermopile should
be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Fig. 71)
To adjust pilot burner; (by qualified service technician)
1. Remove pilot adjustment cap.
2. Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame.
3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.
The primary air shutter is set at factory and should only
be adjusted, if necessary, by a qualified service technician.
5. Vacuum burner compartment especially around
orifice primary air openings.
6. Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust
or lint accumulation.
7. Reinstall logs.
8. Ignite pilot - Refer to Lighting Instructions.
9. Reinstall window frame assembly.
