LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efcient location
for your DESA direct-vent replace. Make sure
that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the
venting system. Choose a location where the heat
output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning
ducts, windows or doors. Be aware of all restric-
tions and precautions before deciding the exact
location for your replace and termination cap.
When deciding the location of your replace,
follow these rules:
• A projection may be ideal for a new addition
on an existing nished wall. Refer to horizontal
termination congurations on page 15 or verti-
cal congurations on page 18.
• Do not connect this replace venting to a chim-
ney ue serving a separate solid-fuel burning
replace or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this
replace in high trafc areas, windy or drafty
areas or near furniture or draperies.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the appli-
ance or ow of combustion and ventilation air.
Keep control compartments accessible.
• Do not locate close to where gasoline or other
ammable liquids may be stored. The appliance
must be kept clear and free from combustible
materials.
