What is Combustible?
Materials that can catch fire and burn are considered
combustible. Any material that is made of, or faced with,
wood, wood pulp, paper, plastic or any other material
that can catch fire and burn is considered combustible.
Even though these materials may have been 'flameproofed', made 'fire-resistant' or are 'fire-rated' they are
considered combustible. Standard and Type X drywall
are both combustible.
What is Non-combustible?
A given material is said to be non-combustible when it
cannot catch fire and burn. For example, materials made
entirely, or in combinations, of, stone, brick, concrete, tile,
steel, plaster or glass are considered non-combustible.
As of this writing, the materials listed below
are reported by their manufacturers to be noncombustible (in accordance with the ASTM E136
standard) AND applicable for use around fireplaces:

Section 3: Venting
European Home supplies a variety of direct venting and termination options. The
direct vent termination location MUST be selected such that it is the highest point in
the venting assembly. It should also be selected such that it provides the shortest vent
run possible. Should it be impossible to ensure that the termination is the highest
point or to meet the venting guidelines laid out below please contact your European
Home dealer to discuss power venting options.
NOTES FOR PLANNING VENTING:
Venting can originate from the unit through the top or through the rear. Venting can
terminate through the roof or through an exterior wall.
Refer to Appendix A - Termination Locations to ensure the planned termination
location is acceptable.
Once the termination location has been established, refer to the appropriate section
below for installation details. All fireplaces shipped from the factory are top vent. See
Section 3-1 for converting the unit from top vent to rear vent.
Section 3-1: CONVERTING TO REAR VENT
Use the following instructions to convert a DV 42* for rear vent use:
1. Remove the rear flue cover and gasket (5" and 8") on the flue outlet, as
shown in Figure 7.
2. Next, remove the top flue collars (5" and 8") on the flue outlet, as shown in
Figure 7.

Section 3-2: INSTALLING A ROOF MOUNTED DIRECT VENT TERMINATION
(PVTK-1)
This section applies to installations where the direct vent termination
will be roof mounted.
Section 3-2-1: VENTING LAYOUT
Selection of components and details of venting lay out should adhere to
the following:
• The maximum termination point is 32’ above the fireplace. NOTE: If the
maximum termination height is used, the flame pattern may be affected.
• The vertical termination must be a minimum 2’ higher than where the
termination exits the roofing materials; asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, etc.
This distance should be measured from the high side of the roof slope where
the flue flashing intersects the roofing materials. See Figures 11 to 11c .
• Termination location must be a minimum 6’ from a mechanical air inlet.
• Termination location must be a minimum 18” from a parapet wall.
• A maximum of two offsets may be made. Each offset is made of two 90° bends.
• Install a firestop at any location where venting passes through combustible
materials and construction.
• Utilize support straps, or support plates, and rings (as required) to meet
acceptable building practices.
• Install all roof flashing and storm collars as shown.

Use any combination of rigid and flex pipe as required.
Flex sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length. For
example, a 24” section maybe stretched to 36”.
Connect all vent sections using a minimum of three sheet metal screws on
the outer pipe flue.
Ensure the pipe ends male to female slide in a minimum of 11/2” of
overlap.
Ensure all runs are supported with a minimum of 3 supports per 10’ of
venting.
When hanging/ supporting venting, ensure that 1” clearance is
maintained on sides and bottom of vent runs and 2” above horizontal
vent runs to any combustible material.
Ensure when cutting sections of rigid pipe to maintain integrity of
internal supports.
Place the springs, supplied with the pipe kit, between the outer and inner
pipes to keep the pipes separate and avoid any possible hot spots.
European Home recommends the use of a flex section for the final
pipe connected directly to the fireplace offering greater flexibility of
installation and absorption of movement.
When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling firestop must be used.
European Home recommends that all exterior corners and joints be
sealed with exterior caulking, however, we encourage you to consult
your Building Envelope Engineer or Waterproofing Consultant for further
recommendations.

Connection and installation of the vent components should adhere to the
following:
•Use any combination of rigid and Flex pipe as required.
•Flex sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length. For example,
a 24” section maybe stretched to 36”.
•Connect all vent sections using a minimum of three sheet metal screws on
the outer pipe flue.
•Ensure the pipe ends male to female slide in a minimum of 11/2” of overlap.
•Ensure all runs are supported with a minimum of 3 supports per 10’of venting.
•When hanging/ supporting venting, ensure that 1” clearance is maintained
on sides and bottom of vent runs and 2” above horizontal vent runs to any
combustible material.
•Ensure when cutting sections of rigid pipe to maintain integrity of internal
supports.
•Place the springs, supplied with the pipe kit, between the outer and inner
pipes to keep the pipes separate and avoid any possible hot spots.
•European Home recommends the use of a flex section for the final pipe
connected directly to the fireplace offering greater flexibility of installation
and absorption of movement.
•When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling firestop must be used.
•European Home recommends that all exterior corners and joints be sealed
with exterior caulking however we encourage you to consult your Building
Envelope Engineer or Waterproofing Consultant for further recommendations.

Figure 22. Gas line access.
Note:
After the gas line is connected, each appliance connection, valve and
valve train must be checked while under normal operating pressure with
either a liquid solution, or leak detection device, to locate any source of
leak. Tighten any areas where bubbling appears or leak is detected until
bubbling stops completely or leak is no longer detected. DO NOT use a
flame of any kind to test for leaks.
Section 5-3: GAS CONNECTION
•See Figure 22 below for location of gas line access.
•Flexible gas connectors must not exceed 3 feet in length unless allowable
within local regulations.
•Connect incoming gas line to the 1/2"or 3/8" gas inlet port.
•Purge all air out of gas line.
•Check appliance connection, valve and valve train under normal operating
pressure with a commercially available leak check solution.
WARNING!
When pressure testing the fireplace, Gas line, and input system follow the
appropriate local codes or your area. DO NOT connect the fireplace to pressures
in excess of 1/2 lb. per square inch. This will damage the gas control valve.
CAUTION
Glass doors on gas fireplaces are extremely hot while the fireplace is on and
remain hot even after the fireplace has been turned off. Safety screens are
available and can reduce the risks of severe burns. Please keep children away
from the fireplace at all times.
DO NOT USE A FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST FOR LEAKS!
NOTICE
Do not use ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on the glass, they will permanently
etch the surface. Use an approved gas fireplace glass cleaner such as Kel-Kem or
White off.

Section 6: Finishing
Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and moldings may be safely installed over the top and on the
front of the fireplace provided that they do not project beyond shaded area shown
in Figure 24.
Fireplace Facing
When sizing the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to remember that
THE OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY. To do so restricts the air
supply for the control compartments and heat exchanger. It also prevents
access for servicing controls.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor, provided you use
a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not extend past the fireplace opening
at all because it will interfere with the access to retainers for removal of glass door.
The supplied nailing extension must be placed along the top edge of the fireplace and
securely fastened in place to the metal lintel, and combustible wood framing. Note:
The nailing flange extension can be substituted with a piece of non-combustible
material of the same size and thermal characteristics, i.e. cement board or equivalent.

Installing the Nailing Flange Extension
Once the fireplace is placed into the rough framed opening, and the supplied steel
lintel is in place, (Part No. H42074) (see Figure 2),
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of elevated
mantel temperatures. In the case of candles, plastic, pictures, etc. these
temperatures may be in excess of the product design. This can cause
melting, deformation, discoloration or premature failure of TV, radio, and
other electronic components.
WARNING!

When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace, up to 4" (as shown in
Figure 24) with a non-combustible material, the decorative facing materials
may be subject to temperatures in excess of 250° F. This should be considered
when selecting facing materials.

W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
•Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible materials, as
well as gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
•Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call
a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part
of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoke and a visible film may
be left on the glass. This is a normal condition and is the result of burning of protective
coatings on new metal.
•Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film which may be visible.
Film can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on Page 19.
Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive glass cleaners.
One of the most effective products is Kel Kem.
•Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas", leaving a visual
deposit of a white substance on combustion chamber walls. This can easily
be removed using normal household products.
•Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control compartment,
burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
•Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot or other
contaminates.
