SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP GAS

Propane (LP-Gas) is a ﬂammable gas which can cause ﬁres and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless. You may not know all the following safety precau tions which can protect both you and your family from an accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point

LP-GAS WARNING ODOR

If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.

That’s your signal to go into immediate action!

• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone. Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.

• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do that IMMEDIATELY.

• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.

• LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until ﬁreﬁghters declare them to be safe.

NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE

Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must ﬁnd out if you can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your

ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a gas odor can make it easier to smell.

The odorant in LP-Gas is colorless, and it can fade under some circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the

movement of the gas through soil can ﬁlter the odorant. Odorants

by point with the members of your household. Someday when there may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will depend on knowing exactly what to do. If, after read

ing the following information, you feel you still need more information, please contact your gas supplier.

• Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-Gas service person and the ﬁre department. Even though you may not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.

• Finally, let the service man and ﬁreﬁghters check for escaped gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then check and relight the gas appliance for you.

in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.

The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls, masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.

LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately go into action as instructed earlier.

SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER

• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-Gas. Your local LP-Gas Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pamphlet. Use it to ﬁnd out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas Dealer.

• If you are not qualiﬁed, do not light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If you are qualiﬁed, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or making adjustments.

• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.

• Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or reinstalled old tanks, if they are ﬁlled and allowed to set too long before reﬁlling. Cylinders and tanks which have been

out of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any

question about the gas odor, call your periodic sniff test of the LP-Gas is a good safety measure under any condition.

• If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same immediate action recommended above for the occasion when you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.

• If you experience a complete “gas out,” (the container is under no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air through openings such as pilot light oriﬁces. If this occurs, some new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then treat the container as a new tank. Always be sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container before it goes completely empty or having it reﬁlled before it is completely empty.

The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:

— ANS Z21.24 Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tubing

and Fittings.

— ANS Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of

Other Than All-Metal Construction The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority having jurisdiction. The state of Massachusetts requires that a ﬂexible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.

Figure 6

Installing a New Main Gas Cock

Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.

A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.

Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of liqueﬁed petroleum gases. The gas lines must be checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if unexposed, a pressure test should be made.

Never use an exposed ﬂame to check for leaks. Appliance must be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!

NOTE: The millivolt gas controls are 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.

On direct ignition valves, hex plugs may be replaced with hose ﬁttings for pressure checks, then reinstalled before operating ﬁreplace.

When using copper or ﬂex connector use only approved ﬁttings.

The appliance and it’s individual shut off valve must be disconnected from supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14" w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the ﬁreplace gas valve, it will result in a hazardous condition.

Checking Manifold Pressures

Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold pressure of approximately 3.5" w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5" w.c. (1.120kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of

14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa). Propane gas models will have a manifold pressure approximately 10.0" w.c. (2.49kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 10.8" w.c. (2.68kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of

14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa).

Converting ﬂue take-off to rear venting

When switching out the ﬂue and inlet vent collars to run horizontally off the rear vent, the following steps must be taken.

1. Remove the inlet vent collar (8 screws) and ﬂue collar (4 screws)

from the top of the ﬁreplace, and set to the side.

2. Remove the inlet cover plate and ﬂue cover plate located on the

back of the ﬁreplace. These will be used to close the top ﬂue and inlet openings.

3. Insert the insulation retainer bracket and insulation into the top

ﬂue pipe before reinstalling the ﬂue cover plate over the top ﬂue

The following vent systems are acceptable for use with the DVP36 series ﬁreplaces: Simpson Duravent® GS 4" - 6 ⅝", refer to page 30.

Framing (Figure 12)

Fireplace framing can be built before or after the ﬁreplace is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and ﬁreplace facing material. The ﬁreplace framing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may rest on the ﬁreplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 12 for minimum framing dimensions.

CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND VERIFY FRAMING METHODS, AND WALL COVERING DETA ILS B EFO R E F R AMI N G C O NST R UC T I ON BEGINS.

Framing dimension "A" includes a three inch clearance for standoffs on ﬁrebox. After installing ﬁrebox into framing, the ﬁnished wall surface must cover the three inch opening above the ﬁrebox.

Figure 12

Attention: Add 3-3/4" to “A” dimensions when using a ﬂush

mantel base.

Attention: If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood ﬂooring, it shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The vertical dimension in Figure 12 must be adjusted when a metal or wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.

Finishing (Figures 13 and 14)

Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 3 on page 8 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum horizontal dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections above the top front edge of the ﬁreplace. Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black ﬁreplace front.

Warning: When ﬁnishing the ﬁreplace never obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet louvers in any manner. Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber.

Caution: If the joints between the ﬁnished wall and the ﬁreplace

surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed. Only non-combustible material (using 300°F minimum adhesive if needed), can be applied as facing to the ﬁreplace surround.

To Use the Vent Graph (Figure 20)

1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph, locate the point it intersects 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 unit in accordance with same.

EXAMPLE A:

If the vertical dimension from the ﬂoor of the unit is 35 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall ﬂange must not exceed 6.5 feet.

EXAMPLE B:

If the vertical dimension from the ﬂoor of the unit is 6.5 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall ﬂange must not exceed 14.5 feet.

SPECIAL NOTE: For each 45 degree elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18" (45cm). This does not apply if the 45 degree elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system. Reduce 3' for every 90° elbow.

Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal vent length is 20' and if two 45 degree elbows are required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17'.

The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.

Note: On vertical venting the ﬁrst elbow does not get counted.

Note: LP and Nat gas models can be top vented.

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.

Positioning the Fireplace

Determine the exact position of the appliance so the direct vent termination will be centered (if possible) between two (2) studs. This will avoid any extra framing. All vent kit pipes should be assembled on the unit after the unit is moved into the ﬁnal position.

Cutting the Hole (Figures 24)

After the ﬁreplace has been positioned in its permanent location, the hole through the exterior wall of the house can be cut. This hole must be 10" (254mm) high x 10" (254mm) wide with its center line determined by the amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of the termination. See Figure

24. When locating the hole it must be noted that the bottom of the cap must be 12" (305mm) above the ground level, and top of the cap must be no less than 18" (457mm) below a combustible projection, and no closer than 9" (229mm) to any wall running parallel to vent termination.

Step-By-Step Installation For Flex DV Kit

1. Unpack vent components and check all items for shipping damage.

2. For this venting system to operate as designed it is dependent on the use of all parts and procedures detailed in these instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may potentially affect the performance of this vent system and the attached appliance.

3. As per the ﬁreplace manufacturer’s instructions, replace the existing 6 5/8” diameter ﬁreplace vent adapter with the 7” diameter ﬂex vent ﬁreplace adapter included in the vent kit. Install the adapter collar with the screws removed from the standard ﬁreplace collar. Refer to the ﬁreplace manual for additional information on the vent collar removal and installation.

4. Once the ﬁreplace location has been determined, mark the ceiling where the ﬂex vent will pass through. Cut an opening for installation of the ﬁrestop thimble assembly. The opening must measure a minimum of 9-1/2” x 9-1/2” square. See

Figure 27.

5. Next, determine the location for the cutout in the roof open ing. This opening must be large enough to provide a minimum 1” air space clearance from the vertical vent pipe to any combustible framing.

6. Install the Firestop/Thimble assembly to the framed opening in the ceiling using common nails or screws. Note: The thimble assembly is adjustable up or down as needed within the ﬁrestop. It is also designed with a pivoting ﬁrestop for use with 0 - 3/12 pitch cathedral ceilings.

7. To begin vent system assembly, ﬁrst layout all the vent components on the ﬂoor in the order in which they will be assembled.

8. Stretch the 4” diameter inner ﬂex ﬂue and 7” diameter outer ﬂex vent to the maximum length of 6 feet.

9. Install the spring spacers provided around the 4” diameter ﬂex ﬂue at 1 foot intervals, then slide the ﬂue pipe with spacers into the 7” diameter outer ﬂex vent pipe. Make sure the springs are spaced evenly starting at 12 inches from the ﬁreplace collar. See Figure 28.

components laid out on the ﬂoor, begin securing these parts together. First, apply a generous bead of silicone sealant to the inside of the 4” diameter ﬂex ﬂue (not the end with the pre-installaed connector), then slide the ﬂex ﬂue over the 4” diameter hard pipe ﬂue. Be sure to overlap at least 1-1/4”. Secure this connection with a 4” diameter band clamp provided. Be careful not to damage or tear the ﬂex ﬂue when tightening clamp.

11. Repeat the connection process for the outer 7” diameter ﬂex vent to hard pipe connection. Use silicone sealant at this joint also, overlap at least 1-1/4”, then secure the joint with the 7” diameter band clamp provided. Be careful not to damage or tear the ﬂex vent pipe when tightening the clamp.

12. While the venting is still on the ﬂoor, assemble the roof jack components as shown in Figure 29 and pre-install the roof jack assembly to the hard pipe approximately 18” from the top end of the hard pipe.

13. Now the pre-assembled vent system may be carried to the roof, then lowered through the roof cutout opening (see step

5). Feed the ﬂex vent end down through the roof opening and ﬁrestop/thimble assembly installed in steps 4 through 6.

14. Secure the roof support assembly to the roof sheathing with at least (4) nails/screws through each support bracket. Check that the combustible clearances through the roof framing will maintain at least a 1” clearance from the vent pipe.

15. Determine how high the vent terminal should be located above the roof line based on the roof pitch information shown in Figure 30. Adjust the vent system height by loosening the pre-installed roof support pipe clamp and sliding the vent pipe up or down as pre-determined, then re-tighten the pipe clamp. Install a couple of sheet metal screws through the pipe clamp into the outer hard vent pipe to lock in place.

16. Check to make sure that the bottom end of the ﬂex vent is long enough to reach the ﬁreplace adapter collars. If too long, trim off the extra ﬂex vent not needed.

17. To attach the vent connections at the ﬁreplace, be sure the 7” diameter adapter collar has been installed per step 3. Apply a bead of silicone sealant to the 4” diameter ﬂex connector, then slide the ﬂex pipe adapter collar into the ﬁreplace ﬂue collar and secure by installing a minimum of two (2) screws through the ﬂue collar and into the adapter. See Figure 31.

18. Apply sealant to the 7” diameter adapter collar, slide outer ﬂex vent over the collar, then secure with a 7” diameter band clamp. See Figure 31.

19. Once the lower connections are made and the ﬂex pipe is secured with support bands as required (3 feet minimum between supports) then the roof ﬂashing can be installed. See

Figure 32.

20. Install the roof ﬂashing, and seal using common constructions practices.

21. An additional storm collar band is provided in kit that may be used as an attic insulation shield. The collar can be installed around the ﬂex pipe (or hard pipe) just above the ﬁrestop thimble. This collar will act as a shield to prevent blown insulation from entering the thimble.

22. To complete the vent installation, install the vent termination cap to the top of the hard vent pipe assembly. Mate up the ﬂue and outer telescopes with the hard pipe assembly, then secure by installing a minimum of two (2) sheet metal screws into the overlapped ﬂanges of the cap and pipe.

23. Figure 33 shows a completed installation with components identiﬁed and other installation information such as heights and clearance to combustibles.

To Use the Vent Graph (Figure 37)

1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph, locate the point it intersects 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 unit in accordance with same.

EXAMPLE A:

If the vertical dimension from the ﬂoor of the unit is 12 feet, 4 inches the horizontal run to the outer wall ﬂange must not exceed 12 feet, 3 inches.

EXAMPLE B:

If the vertical dimension from the ﬂoor of the unit is 6 feet, 9 inches, the horizontal run to the outer wall ﬂange must not exceed 6 feet, 6 inches.

Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal vent length is 20' and if two 45 degree elbows are required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17'.

The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.

Note: Only natural gas models can be rear vented.

TERMINATION CLEARANCES

Termination clearance for buildings with combustible and noncombustible exteriors.

Figure 42

Vertical Sidewall Installations

Important! Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is three (3 and sides.

Important! When vent termination exits through foundation less than 20" below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must extend outward so that the horizontal vent terminal is located ﬂush to, or beyond the outcrop siding.

Information on Various Venting Routes and Components Important: It is always best to locate the ﬁreplace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.

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 graph showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting will help to determine the various vent lengths allowable.

The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the ﬂue collar of the ﬁreplace to the face of the outer wall.

The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 feet (457 cm) when the vertical vent rise is 8 feet (244 cm). See Figure 20.

Venting terminals shall not be recessed into wall or siding.

Installing Vent Components (Figure 44)

Begin the vent system installation by installing the ﬁrst Simpson Duravent component, 90° elbow to the starting collars or straight pipe on the top of the appliance, then the straight pipe length and then horizontal or vertical termination kit.

NOTE: All outer connection joints must be sealed with aluminum tape, screws or silicone sealant rated above 300°F/149°C. The inner ﬂue joints do not require any sealant.

Simpson Duravent vent system components lock into place by sliding the concentric pipe section with four (4) equally spaced interior beads onto the appliance collar or previously installed component end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections. When the internal beads of each starting outer pipe line up, rotate pipe section clockwise 90° (approximately 3 inches). The vent pipe is now locked together.

Continue adding components per the pre-planned vent system conﬁguration. Be certain that each succeeding vent component is securely ﬁtted and locked into the preceding component in the vent system.

FRAMING AND FINISHING

Installing Support Brackets (Figure 45)

A horizontal pipe support MUST BE used for each 3 feet of horizontal run. The pipe supports should be placed around the pipe and nailed in place to framing members. There MUST BE a 3 inch clearance to combustibles above 6 5/8 inch diameter pipe and elbows and 1 inch clearance on both sides and bottom of 6 5/8 inch pipe to combustibles on all horizontal pipe sections and elbows.

Vertical runs of this vent systems must be supported every 4 feet above the appliance ﬂue outlet by wall brackets attached to the 6 5/8 inch vent pipe and secured with nails or screws to structural framing members.

Figure 45

Installing Firestops (Figures 46, 47, 48, and 49)

Firestops are required for safety whenever the vent system passes through an interior wall, an exterior wall, or a ceiling. These ﬁrestops act as a ﬁrebreak heat shield and as a means to insure that minimum clearances are maintained to the vent system.

Horizontal runs in the vent system which pass through either interior or exterior walls, require the use of wall ﬁrestops on both sides of the wall through which the vent passes.

Position the ﬁrestops on both sides of the 10 inch x 11 inch hole, previously cut. Secure with nails or screws. The heat shields of the ﬁrestops MUST BE placed towards the top of the hole. Continue the vent run through the ﬁrestops. See Figure 46.

Figure 46

Vertical runs of this system which pass through ceilings require the use of ONE (1) ceiling ﬁrestop at the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.

Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the vertical vent component and mark the ceiling to establish the center point of the vent. Drill a hole or drive a nail through this center point and check the ﬂoor above for any obstructions such as wiring or plumbing runs. Reposition the appliance and vent system, if necessary, to accommodate ceiling joists and/or obstructions.

Cut a 10 inch x 10 inch hole through the ceiling, using the center point previously marked. Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists. See Figure 47. If the area above the ceiling is NOT an attic, position and secure the ceiling ﬁrestop on the ceiling side of the previously cut and framed hole. See Figure

48. If the area above the ceiling is an attic, position and secure the ﬁrestop on top of the previously framed hole. See Figure 49.

NOTE: Remove insulation from the framed area in the attic before installing the ﬁrestop and/or vent pipes.

WARNING: Termination cap must be positioned so that arrow is pointing up.

Attach the termination cap with the four wood screws provided. Before attachment of the termination, run a bead of silicone sealant rated above 250°F on its outside edge too, so as to make a seal to the exterior wall.

NOTE: Wood screws can and should be replaced with appropriate

fasteners for use on stucco, brick, concrete or other types of siding.

CAUTION: If exterior walls are ﬁnished with vinyl siding (or materials that could become discolored or warp), it is necessary to install a vinyl siding standoff.

The vinyl siding standoff will be installed between the vent termination and the exterior wall. See Figure 50. This horizontal vent termination bolts onto the ﬂat portion of the vinyl siding standoff, so an air space will exist between the wall and the termination cap.

Parts Veriﬁcation

See parts list on page 36 to verify components included in this vent kit prior to installation.

NOTE: If installing onto wood, lap, or vinyl siding, the vinyl siding kit should be used (sold separately, part number DV-822).

The vinyl siding vent kit, DV-822, is available from Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. The depth is 3” (76mm), which enables the vent cap to be extended away from vinyl siding or projections. The wall depth plus the additional 3” (76mm) depth of the vinyl siding vent cap extension should not exceed a total depth of 13 3/4” (349mm).

If wall depth exceeds 13 3/4” (349mm), extend system using 6 5/8” (168mm) x 4” (102mm) rigid venting (See Fireplace Instructions for approved lengths) See Figure 53.

Installing Wall Thimble/Firestop Assembly

1. Fix ﬁreplace to permanent location. If using rigid venting system, install up to the location where it will exit the building.

2. Cut hole in wall for wall thimble/ﬁrestop assembly (Figure 52 into your combustible wall. Note: On brick or block exterior wall a 7” (178mm) diameter hole needs to be cut.

Measure the total wall thickness to determine whether or not the

extension thimble is to be used. If the combustible wall depth is over 5 3/8” (137mm), then the extension thimble should be used (Figure 1).

3. Install the wall thimble assembly through the framed opening so the ﬁrestop plate is on the interior wall (Figure 52). Telescope section should extend all the way through the exterior wall. Attach with (4) 10 x 1” screws.

4. When placing the vent cap on an exterior wall covered with com bustibles such as wood, lap, or vinyl siding, install the vinyl siding kit to the exterior wall sheathing.

Connecting Directly to Fireplace

If the air inlet and ﬂue outlet tubes are to be connected directly to the unit (no rigid venting system is being used), then the gasket provided must be used to seal the 4” (102mm) ﬂue outlet tube. Peel the paper off the self-adhesive gasket and then wrap it around the end of the tube (if tube was cut, it is recommended to use cut end) as shown in Figure 56. Pull the gasket tight at all times while wrapping it around tube. The gasket ends should align, to form a complete seal. The overlapped section should NOT come in con tact with the seam in the tube. Apply high temperature sealant to the opposite end of the tube (on the inside of the tube). The end with the gasket will attach to the back of the unit. Continue with Step 13.

DVVK-4F FLEX VENT INSTRUCTIONS

The DVVK-4F FLEX VENT KIT includes the following components:

• (1) Horizontal Termination Cap

• (1) 4-foot section of Flex vent with spacers (4" ﬂue/7" outer pipe)

• (1) 4" dia. Flue adapter collar

Flex venting can be installed either vertically or horizontally off of the DVP36 Series ﬁreplaces. When installing a horizontal vent run from top connections, maintain at least ½" rise for every 12" of vent run. When venting horizontal off the rear vent connections, allow a minimum rise of 2". Refer to Figure 50 when mounting termination near vinyl siding. CAUTION: Always stretch and secure venting with wire or metal strapping to ensure that the horizontal runs do not sag. If space permits, it is generally easier to attach venting in the top vent conﬁguration. Because of sharp edges, always use gloves when handling the ﬂex vent components. Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1" for proper sealing. Always follow the general venting requirements for vent terminal location, vent lengths, and clearance to combustible materials.

INSTALLATION

1. Unpack vent components and check that all items are included.

2. Check to see that the vent spacer springs are located around the ﬂue vent at 8" and 12" intervals along its length. See Figure A. If not, stretch the spacer springs to about 15" long and wrap them around the ﬂue, then interlock the ends of each spring about 2". See Figure B. Maintain equal distance between spring spacers.

• (1) 7" dia. Outer Vent adapter collar

• (1) Wall Firestop/Thimble Assembly

• Hardware pack that includes band clamps and screws

7. If the venting is to long, trim off any excess vent before attaching the vent end connectors.

8. Attach the Termination Cap to the outside of the house.

9. Prior to making the vent connections, apply high temperature sealant (1000 degree F min.) to the vent connections before securing with the band clamps provided. Note: the flue pipe end without the adapter is to be installed to the Termination Cap.

10. Apply sealant to the outside of the flue pipe adapter and connect to the flex flue pipe. Then insert the adapter into the fireplace flue. Secure flue adapter to the fireplace flue with a minimum of two screws provided. See Figure C.

11. Attach the Outer Vent pipe to the 7" dia. Collar on the fireplace with a large band clamp provided. Sealant may also be used on the outer vent connections.

12. Check all vent connections for tightness. Make sure horizontal venting has the proper rise and combustible clearances required. Refer to venting charts in fireplace instruction manual.

Locate and mark the center point of the venting pipe. Using a nail on the underside of the roof and drive this nail through this center point. Make the outline of the roof hole around this center point.

NOTE: Size of the roof hole dimensions depend on the pitch of

the roof. There must be a 1 inch clearance (25mm) to the vertical pipe sections. This clearance is to all combustible material.

Cover the opening of the vent pipe and cut and frame the roof hole. Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters and install the frame securely. Flashing anchored to frame must withstand high winds. The storm collar is placed over this joint to make a watertight seal. Non-hardening sealant should be used to completely seal this ﬂashing installation.

Determining Minimum Vent Height Above the Roof.

WARNING: Major U.S. building codes specify minimum chimney and/or vent height above the roof top. These minimum heights are necessary in the interest of safety. These speciﬁcations are summarized in Figure 57.

When terminating the vent cap near an exterior wall or overhang, maintain minimum clearances as shown in Figure 58.

General Maintenance

Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect are as follows:

1. Check areas of the venting system which are exposed to the elements for corrosion. These will appear as rust spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes. These components should immediately be replaced.

2. Remove the cap and shine a ﬂashlight down the vent. Remove any bird nests or other foreign material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive condensate, such as water droplets forming in the inner liner and subsequently dripping out at joints. Condensate can cause corrosion of caps, pipe and ﬁttings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sections or ﬁttings have been disturbed and, consequently, loosened. Also, check mechanical supports, such as wall straps or plumbers’ tape for rigidity.

Venting terminal shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.

A removable panel or other means must be provided in the enclosure for visual inspection of the ﬂue connection.

NOTE: This also pertains to vertical vent systems installed on the outside of the building.

Slide the vertical vent cap over the ends of the vent pipe and secure.

See Figure 59.

Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased. In high wind conditions, nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or down-drafting. In these cases, increasing the vent height may solve this problem.

Installing the Vent System in a Chase

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas appliance and/or it’s vent system. Vertical vent runs on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to be installed inside a chase.

Figure 59

CAUTION: Treatment of ﬁrestop spacers and construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore, your local building codes must be checked to determine the requirements for these steps.

Figure 58

VERTICAL TERMINATION (continued)

NOTE: When installing this vent system in a chase, it is always

good building practice to insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially important for cold climate installations. Upon completion of building your chase framing, install the vent system by following the instructions in this manual. Remember to build the chase large enough so that minimum clearance of combustible materials (including insulation) to the vent system are maintained.

Installation of Vertical Inlet Bafﬂe

The vertical inlet bafﬂe is to be used only in a completely vertical vent installation. The vertical inlet bafﬂe can be used when the vertical vent rise is between 10 feet and 40 feet. To maintain the yellow ﬂame in the main burner, purchase Vertical Inlet bafﬂe, VIB6A for use with 6 5/8" dia. vent systems, or the VIB7A for use with 7" dia. vent systems. These are available from your Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. distributor or dealer.

In a vertical vent rise the rear (yellow) ﬂame on the main burner can be reduced due to the drawing action from the ﬂue exhaust pipe and the air inlet pipe. A decrease in the height or the appearance of the yellow ﬂame may occur when the vertical vent rise is between 10 feet and 40 feet. To enhance the yellow ﬂame on the main burner, the vertical inlet bafﬂe can be attached to the direct vent high wind vertical top.

Please refer to the instructions included with the Air Inlet Bafﬂe Kit for proper installation.

Reassembly and Resealing Vent Pipe System

Attach vent pipe to inlet and outlet vent adaptor on ﬁreplace in either the vertical or horizontal position, replace horizontal and vertical pipe lengths, elbows and horizontal or vertical termination kit.

All vent system components lock into place by sliding the concentric pipe section with four (4) equally spaced interior beads onto the appliance collar or previously installed component end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections. When the internal beads of each starting outer pipe line up, rotate pipe section clockwise 90° (approximately 3 inches). The vent pipe is now locked together.

Continue replacing components per the vent system conﬁguration. Be certain that each succeeding vent component is securely ﬁtted and locked into the preceding component in the vent system.

Reassembly and Resealing Gas Accumulation Relief System Glass Frame Assembly and Combustion Chamber

Whenever the glass frame assembly is pivoted open by a delayed ignition in the main burner, the glass frame assembly gaskets and combustion chamber must be examined by a qualiﬁed service person for damage. All damaged gaskets on the glass frame assembly and combustion chamber must be replaced by a qualiﬁed service person. If damage occurs to the combustion chamber, it must be replaced by a qualiﬁed service person. Contact Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. for replacement parts.

Vertical Through the Roof Applications (Figure 60)

Your Gas Fireplace has been approved for: a) Vertical installations up to 40 feet in height. b) Two sets of 45 degree elbow offsets within these vertical

installations. From 0 to a maximum of 8 ft. a vent pipe can be used between elbows.

c) Wall straps must be used to support offset pipe every 4'.

This application will require that you ﬁrst determine the roof pitch and use the appropriate venting components.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

750 Millivolt System

The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF.

When you ignite the pilot, the thermopile produces millivolts (electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve. After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot ﬂame to operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn the gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This time period allows the millivolts (electrical current) to build-up to a sufﬁcient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.

1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels found in control compartment behind the door assembly.

CAUTION: During the initial purging and subsequent lightings, never allow the gas valve control knob to remain depressed in the “pilot” position without pushing the piezo ignitor button at least once every second.

2. During the operating season, leave the control valve knob in the “ON” position. This will allow the pilot ﬂame to remain lit. Turn the burner ﬂame on or off with the ﬁreplace REMOTE/OFF/ON switch, wall switch or remote controls.

NOTE: The gas control valve allows you to increase or decrease the height of the main burner ﬂame. The control valve has a pressure regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 64. Rotate the knob clockwise to “HI” to increase the ﬂame height and counterclockwise to “LO” to decrease the ﬂame height.

3. When the operating season is over, turn the switch to “OFF” and the control valve to “OFF”. The system, including the pilot light, will be shut down.

REMOTE/OFF/ON

Initial Lighting

Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve on after it has been in the “OFF” position, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When ﬁrst lighting the ﬁreplace, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the ﬁreplace will light and operate satisfactorily.

Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purging if the gas valve is not turned to “OFF.”

Pilot Flame (Figure 65)

The thermopile/thermocouple (standing pilot) tips should be covered with ﬂame.

Figure 65

The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating instructions at all times. Lower the door assembly to view the gas controls for the ﬁreplace.

This guide will assist a qualiﬁed service person in the diagnosis of problems and the corrective action to be taken.

1. Spark ignitor will not light pilot after repeated triggering of piezo ignitor button.

a. Defective ignitor (no spark electrode) —Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and

electrode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor. b. No gas or low gas pressure. —Check remote shut off valves from ﬁreplace. Usually

there is a valve near the main. There can be more than one

(1) valve between the ﬁreplace and main. —Low pressure can be caused by a variety of situations

such as a bent line, too narrow diameter of pipe, or low line

pressure. Consult with plumber or gas supplier. c. No LP in tank. —Check LP (propane) tank. Reﬁll tank.

2. Pilot will not stay lit after carefully following lighting instructions.

a. Defective thermocouple. —Check that pilot ﬂame impinges on thermocouple. Clean

and/or adjust pilot for maximum ﬂame impingement.

—Ensure the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is

fully inserted and tight (hand tight plus 1/4 turn). Faulty thermocouple if reading is below speciﬁed minimum of 15 millivolts.

—Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one

millivolt meter lead wire on the end of the thermocouple and the other millivolt meter lead wire on the thermocouple copper wire. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less than 15 millivolt, replace the

thermocouple. b. Defective valve. —If thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts,

replace faulty valve.

3. Pilot burning, no gas to burner, valve knob “ON”, REMOTE/ OFF/ON switch “ON.”

a. REMOTE/OFF/ON switch, wall switch, remote control or

wires defective.

—Check REMOTE/OFF/ON switch and wires for proper

connections. Place jumper wires across terminal at switch. If burner comes on, replace defective switch. If OK, place jumper wires across switch wires at gas valve-if burner

comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad. b. Thermopile may not be generating sufﬁcient millivolts. —If the pilot ﬂame is not close enough physically to the

thermopile, adjust the pilot ﬂame. —Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the

gas valve terminals are tight and the thermopile is fully

inserted into the pilot bracket. —Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the

reading at TH-TP & TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter

should read 350 millivolts minimum, while holding the valve

knob depressed in the

the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch in the OFF position. Replace

the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the speciﬁed

minimum.

PILOT position, with the pilot lit, and

—With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile

F. Set thermostat below room temperature and wait one minute

before continuing.

STEP 5: Check Normal Operation. A. Set thermostat above room temperature to call for heat. B. Make sure pilot lights smoothly when gas reaches the pilot

burner.

C. Make sure main burner lights smoothly without ﬂashback. Make

sure burner operates smoothly without ﬂoating or lifting. D. If gas line has been disturbed, complete gas leak test. GAS LEAK TEST: Paint gas control gasket edges and all pipe

connections downstream of gas control, including pilot tubing

connections, with rich soap and water solution. Bubbles indicate

gas leaks. Tighten joints and screws or replace component to

stop gas leak. E. Turn thermostat below room temperature. Make sure main

burner and pilot ﬂames go out.

OPERATION

Module operation can be conveniently divided into two phases for S8600H. The phases are trial for ignition and main burner operation.

TRIAL FOR IGNITION Pilot Ignition

Following call for heat (system start on S8600H), the module energizes the ﬁrst main valve operator. The ﬁrst main valve opens, which allows gas to ﬂow to the pilot burner. At the same time, the electronic spark generator in the module produces a 13,000 volt spark pulse output (at 25 pf load). The voltage generates a spark at the igniter-sensor that lights the pilot.

If the pilot does not light, or the pilot ﬂame current is not at least

1.0 uA and steady, the module will not energize the second main valve and the main burner will not light.

INTERMITTENT PILOT TROUBLESHOOTING

Safety Lockout

S8600H provides 100 percent shutoff, or safety lockout. A timer starts timing the moment the trial for ignition starts. Ignition spark continues only until the timed trial for ignition period ends. Then the module goes into safety lockout. Lockout de-energizes the ﬁrst main valve operator and closes the ﬁrst main valve in the gas control, stopping pilot gas ﬂow. The control system must be reset by setting the thermostat below room temperature for one minute or by turning off power to the module for one minute.

Main Burner Operation

When the pilot ﬂame is established, a ﬂame rectiﬁcation circuit is completed between the sensor and burner ground. The ﬂame sensing circuit in the module detects the ﬂame current, shuts off the

spark generator and energizes the second main valve operator. The second main valve opens and gas ﬂows to the main burner, where it is ignited by the pilot burner. The ﬂame current also holds the safety lockout timer in the reset (normal) operating condition.

When the call for heat ends, both main valve operators are de-energized, and both main valves in the gas control close.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

ARC LENGTH ACTION

No arc or arc less than 1/8 inch.

Arc 1/8 inch or longer.

Step 4: Check pilot ﬂame current. A. Turn off furnace at thermostat. B. Disconnect main valve wire from the TH or MV terminal on

the gas control.

C. Disconnect ground wire from GND (BURNER) terminal at

module.

D. Connect a meter (dc microamp scale) in series with the ground

lead.

• Disconnect ground lead from GND terminal on ignition module.

• Connect the black (negative) meter lead to the ignition module GND (BURNER) terminal.

• Connect the red (positive) meter lead to the free end of the ground lead.

E. Set thermostat to call for heat. The spark will light the pilot but

the main burner will not light because the main valve actuator is disconnected.

F. Read the meter. The ﬂame sensor current must be steady and

at least 1.0 uA.

G. If the reading is less than the minimum or unsteady,

• Make sure pilot ﬂame envelopes 3/8 to 1/2 inch of the ﬂame rod.

• If necessary, adjust pilot ﬂame by turning the pilot adjustment screw on the gas control clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase pilot ﬂame. Following adjustment, always replace pilot adjustment cover screw and tighten ﬁrmly to assure proper gas control operation.

• Check for cracked ceramic insulator, which can cause short to ground, and replace igniter-sensor if necessary.

• Make sure electrical connections are clean and tight. Replace damaged wire with moisture-resistant No. 18 wire rated for continuous duty up to 105 C (221 F).

H. Remove meter and reconnect all wires. Return system to

normal operation before leaving job.

Check external fuse, if provided. Verify power at module input terminal. Replace module if fuse and power okay.

Voltage output is okay.

23340-4-0608Page 56

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

PLEASE NOTE It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noise 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 gas ﬁreplace to give off some odor the ﬁrst time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from 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 six (6) hours the ﬁrst time you use it. If optional fan kit has been installed, place fan in the “OFF” position during this time.

IMPORTANT: Turn off gas before servicing appliance. It is

recommended that a qualiﬁed service person perform these checkups at the beginning of each heating season.

• Clean Burner and Control Compartment

Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding

the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.

Cleaning Procedure

1. Turn off pilot light at gas valve.

2. Remove glass front. (See Glass Removal)

3. Vacuum burner compartment.

4. Reinstall glass front.

5. Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions)

6. Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal call a service person.

• Check Vent System

The appliance and venting system should be inspected before

initial use and at least annually by a qualiﬁed service person. Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering with the air ﬂow.

Glass Cleaning

It will be 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 that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas ﬁreplace glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depending on the circumstances present.

General Glass Information

WARNING: Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualiﬁed service person.

Only glass approved for use by the manufacturer in ﬁreplace may be used for replacement. The glass replacement should be done by a licensed or qualiﬁed service person.

WARNING:

1. The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties.

2. Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.

3. Under no circumstances should this appliance be operated without the glass front or with a broken glass front. Replacement of the glass (with gasket) as supplied by the manufacturer should be done by a qualiﬁed service person.

4. Do not abuse the glass by striking or hitting the glass.

23340-4-0608 Page 57

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Do not attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.

Glass Removal and Replacement (Figure 70)

1. Remove top louver, grasp louver and pull forward.

2. Lower bottom louver.

3. Release two glass frame clamps at bottom of ﬁrebox.
