VENTING INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Failure to follow these
instructions will void the war-
ranty.
NOTICE: Do not seal termination
cap to vent pipe. Cap must be
removable for vent inspection
and maintenance.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Wear gloves and safety glasses for pro-
tection
Use extreme caution when using ladders
or when on roof tops
Be aware of electrical wiring locations in
walls and ceilings
The following actions will void the warranty
on your venting system:
Installation of any damaged venting com-
ponent
Unauthorized modication of the venting sys-
tem (Do not cut or alter vent components)
Installation of any component part not
manufactured or approved by DESA Heat-
ing, LLC
Installation other than as instructed by
these instructions
WARNING: This gas replace
and vent assembly must be
vented directly to the outside.
The venting system must NEVER
be attached to a chimney serv-
ing a separate solid fuel burning
appliance. Each direct-vent gas
appliance must use a separate
vent system. Do not use com-
mon vent systems.
WARNING: Vent pipe air
space clearances to combus-
tibles are 1" on all sides except
on the horizontal sections,
which require 2" clearances
from the top of the pipe. Where
the termination cap penetrates
a combustible wall, 1" air space
clearance is required.
NOTICE: Read these instruc-
tions completely before attempt-
ing installation.
These models are tested and approved for
use with DESA Heating, LLC (direct-vent) pipe
components and terminations.
The venting system must terminate on the out-
side of the structure and can not be attached
to a chimney or ue system serving a separate
solid fuel or gas burning appliance. A direct-vent
appliance must have its own venting system.
DO NOT common vent this appliance.
These models are approved to be vented
either horizontally through an outside wall or
vertically through a roof or chase enclosure
using the following guidelines:
When venting system terminates horizon-
tally on an outside wall, you may install
a standoff if the termination cap is to be
installed directly on a combustible nish
such as vinyl, wood, stucco, etc.
Never run the vent downward as this may
cause excessive temperatures which could
cause a re.
Vent pipe air space clearances to com-
bustibles are 1" on all sides except on the
horizontal sections, which requires 2" clear-
ance from the top of the pipe. Where the
termination cap penetrates a combustible
wall, 1" air space clearance is required.
Snorkel terminations are required when
minimum clearance to grade cannot be
met (see Figure 16 on page 13).
Have replace and selected vent compo-
nents on hand to help determine the exact
measurements when elbowing or offsetting.
Always use wall restops when penetrating
walls and restops when penetrating ceil-
ings or attic spaces.
If using a venting conguration of only
horizontal venting with no vertical run, a
1/4" rise for every 12" of run toward the
termination is required.
For installation of replace at elevations of
4000 feet or greater, pay special attention
to venting requirement recommendations.
WARNING: Read all instructions
completely and thoroughly before
attempting installation. Failure to
do so could result in serious injury,
property damage or loss of life.
