PDV20/SDVR Installation Procedure
– for Pinnacle Direct Vent

1. Attach the Snapstat to the Bracket using two #10 x
1/2” phillips screws as shown in Figure 1.

2. Locate and remove the 1/4-20 x 3/8” hex head bolt
installed in the hole in the right rear ledge of the fire
box. (A, Fig. 1) Use that bolt to secure the Snapstat
Bracket to the firebox. The mounting hole is slotted to
let you adjust the bracket so that the snapstat head
makes contact with the firebox surface. (Fig. 1)

3. Attach the Fan to the firebox by engaging the upper
flange of the fan skirt under the lower edge of the
Shroud and secure the skirt with the four #10 x 1/2”
Hex Hd Cap screws and one star washer provided.

The Fan Kit FK28/2960 attaches to the rear shroud
of the PDV20/SDVR Direct Vent heater, the UVS27
Unvented, Jefferson Direct Vent, Jefferson JUV
Unvented heaters and the Seville Woodburning Stove.
Installation for the PDV20 should be made after the fire­box is set within the stove shell but before connection
to the gas supply. Installation for the UVS27 should be
made before the firebox is set within the shell. Installa­tion for the Jefferson Direct Vent and JUV may be made
at any time during assembly. Installation for the Seville
should be made before the stove is removed from the
shipping pallet. Follow the procedure for the appropriate
firebox model.

The kit includes a snapstat sensor which turns the fan
on or off at approximately 109˚F. Be sure the heater is
cool before beginning the installation.

5. A length of silicone tape is included for installation
between the Top Plate and the Rear Shroud, should
you find that contact between these two surfaces
causes vibration while the fan is operating.

• Remove the Top Plate.

• Cut the self-adhesive tape to size as needed,
remove the backing paper and place tape on the top
edge of the Shroud at those locations where it will
eliminate direct contact between the Shroud and the
Top Plate. (Fig. 5)

• Replace the Top Plate.
