HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
Your DESA direct-vent replace has been tested
and approved for elevations from 0-2,000 feet and
certied for elevations from 0-5,000 feet.
Fireplaces for High Altitude (models ending in
HA) are for installation above 4,000 feet only.
These replaces are equipped with parts specic
for higher altitudes. IMPORTANT: These re-
places can NOT be converted to propane/LP gas.
When installing a non-high altitude replace at an
elevation above 2,000 feet (USA), you may need to
decrease the input rating by changing the existing
burner orice to a smaller size. Reduce input 4%
for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Check with
your local gas company for proper orice size
identication.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation
above 4,500 feet (Canada), check with local
authorities.
Consult with your local gas company to help de-
termine the proper orice size and identication
for your location.
Components and parts must be ordered by part
number through your local dealer or distributor.
IMPORTANT: For horizontal installations
above 2,000 feet, it is recommened that a 12"
extension pipe be added before starter elbow
(see Figure 30).
