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 precautions which can protect both you and your family from an accident.
Read them carefully now, then review them point 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 reading the following information, you feel you still need more information, please contact your gas supplier.
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.
• 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.
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 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.
• 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
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
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 LP-Gas dealer. A 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.

Note: Never use plastic pipe. Check to confirm whether your local codes allow copper tubing or galvanized.
Note: Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and installation code.
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.
FLARE
FITTING
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 gas controls are equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8 in. test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings.
The appliance and its 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 in. 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 in. w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 5.0 in. w.c.
(1.245kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of

To Use the Vent Graph
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 top of the unit is 35 ft. (10.67 m), the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 5 ft (1.52 m).
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the top of the unit is 5 ft. (1.52 m), the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 11 ft. (3.35 m).
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 ft. (91.4 cm) for every 90° elbow.
Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal vent length is 20 ft. (6.10 m) and if two 45 degree elbows are required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17 ft. (5.18 m).
The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per side wall installation is two. These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
NOTE: The first elbow does not get counted.
Vertical Venting
When venting long straight vertical sections, use of the vertical vent baffles may be required for optimal flame performance.
To install vertical vent baffles, align the two holes on the vertical vent baffle with the two holes in the flue baffle. Secure the vertical vent baffle with the screws provided. Repeat for both sides of the flue baffle.

Below Grade Installation
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12 in. (305mm) above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended.
It allows installation depth down to 7 in. (178mm) below grade level.
The 7 in. (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
Example Of Possible Venting System Using One 90° Elbow
8 ft. (2.44 m) is listed as minimum vertical vent run with 20 ft.
(6.10 m) of maximum horizontal vent run. Vertical dimensions are based on centerline to centerline of pipe. Horizontal dimensions are based on centerline of pipe to exterior of 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.

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
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 12 in. (305mm) high x 10 in. (254mm) wide with its center line determined by the amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of the termination. See Figure 26. When locating the hole it must be noted that the bottom of the cap must be 12 in. (305mm) above the ground level, and top of the cap must be no less than 18 in. (457mm) below a combustible projection, and no closer than 9 in. (229mm) to any wall running parallel to vent termination.
See Figure 27.

TERMINATION CLEARANCES
Termination clearance for buildings with combustible and noncombustible exteriors.
Figure 31
Vertical Sidewall Installations
Important! Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is three (3 in.) (76mm) on top, and (1 in.) (25mm) on bottom and sides.
Important! When vent termination exits through foundation less than 20 in. (508 mm) 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 ft. (457 cm) when the vertical vent rise is 8 ft. (244 cm).
See Figure 21.
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into wall or siding.

VENT SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION
Installing Vent Components
Begin the vent system installation by installing the first Duravent component to the starting collar, 24 inch (60.10 cm) minimum straight pipe on the top of the appliance, then the remaining pipe length and the 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.
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.

Installing Firestops
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.
Cut an appropriate sized hole in wall. See Figure 35. Position firestop on interior side of wall for hole.
Attention: Wall firestop hole is off-set towards bottom of wall opening. Secure with nails or screws. Continue the vent run through the firestop.
See Figure 35.
Attention: Horizontal venting through a wall requires a wall thimble on the interior side of the wall above the pipe.

HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
NOTE: Termination cap should pass through the wall firestop from the exterior of the building. Adjust the termination cap to its final exterior position on the building.
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 39. 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.

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 water-tight 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 40.

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 41.
Page 28 33598-7-0315
VERTICAL TERMINATION
Installing the Vent System in a Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas appliance and/or its vent system. Vertical vent runs on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to be installed inside a chase.
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.
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.
Reassembly and Resealing Vent Pipe System
Attach vent pipe to inlet and outlet vent adaptor on fireplace, 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.
Vertical Through the Roof Applications
Your Gas Fireplace has been approved for: a) Vertical installations up to 40 ft. (12.19 m) 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.
See Figure 43.
c) Wall straps must be used to support offset pipe every 4 ft.
(1.22 m).
This application will require that you first determine the roof pitch and use the appropriate venting components.

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" diameter flue adapter collar
• (1) 7" diameter outer vent adapter collar
• (1) Wall Firestop/Thimble Assembly
• Hardware pack that includes band clamps and screws
NOTE: If installing the DVVK-4F Flex Vent Kit, an SD46DVA-FCFX7 Flex Adaptor Collar Assembly must also be used (purchased separately).
Flex venting can only be installed vertically off of the DVLL and DVTL Series fireplaces. When installing a horizontal vent run from top connections, maintain at least ½" rise for every 12" of vent run.
CAUTION: Always stretch and secure venting with wire or metal strapping to ensure that the horizontal runs do not sag.
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 44.
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 45. Maintain equal distance between spring spacers.
SPACER
SPRINGS
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 46.
11. Attach the Outer Vent pipe to the 7" diameter 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.

3. Connect the SD46DVA-FCF Adaptor to the vent and flue collars on top of the fireplace.
4. Slide the Flex Vent flue pipe into the Outer Flex Vent pipe.
5. Install the Wall Firestop/Thimble assembly as required through the wall. Refer to the venting charts in the fireplace manual to determine the proper height and size of the vent opening. The minimum opening should be 11" wide by 11" high. The minimum combustible clearance from the horizontal vent is 2" from sides and bottom, and 3" above the vent pipe.
See Figure 47.
6. In most cases, after determining the length of the vent that is needed, it may be easier to install the flue and outer vent pipes to the Termination Cap first, then from the outside, feed the venting through the wall to the fireplace.
7. If the venting is to long, trim off any excess vent before attaching the vent end connectors.

DVTL LOG PLACEMENT
The DVTL41BP Series fireplaces are shipped without a Log set, however a log set must be installed for proper operation. Optional
Log sets are available and must be ordered separately. Contact your dealer for available options.
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the Log sets for proper handling, positioning, and care.
When installing the logs into the fireplace, always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. After handling logs, wash your hands gently with soap and water to remove any traces of fiber.
Use extra care in the handling of the logs to avoid accidental breakage. Long slender logs and branches are susceptible to breakage if not handled properly.
The positioning of logs is critical to safe and clean operation of this fireplace. Sooting and other problems may result if the logs are not properly and firmly positioned in the fireplace.
Please refer to Figure 53 and corresponding WARNING, when completing the Ember and Log placement steps. Embers should be dime-sized pieces that are fluffed up prior to placement onto the burner. A single layer of embers is sufficient: do not over-apply.
NOTE: Once the installation is complete with the log set and embers in place, operate the fireplace to verify flame appearance. If there are flames directly impinging a log, turn off fireplace, then remove the ember material directly below where the flame impingement occurred. This should eliminate sooting on the log, and provide a more pleasing flame appearance.
PLACE GLOWING EMBERS (ROCK WOOL)
IN SHADED AREA ONLY.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance frequency must be determined individually for each application. Some considerations are:
• Exposure to water, dirt, chemicals and heat can damage the gas control and shut down the control system.
• Cycling frequency. Appliances that may cycle 20,000 times annually should be checked monthly.
• Intermittent use. Appliances that are used seasonally should be checked before shutdown and again before the next use.
• Dusty, wet or corrosive environment. Because these environments can cause the gas control to deteriorate more rapidly, the system should be checked more often.
• Any control should be replaced if it does not perform properly on checkout or service. In addition, replace any module if it is wet or looks like it has been wet.
SERVICE
Do not disassemble the gas control; it contains non-replaceable components. Attempted disassembly or repair can damage the control.
Exactly follow the warnings and the lighting instructions.
1. Before lighting, smell around the appliance area for gas. If the appliance uses LP (bottled) gas, be sure to smell next to the floor because LP gas is heavier than air. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the manual valve in the gas piping to the appliance or on LP at the tank. Do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch or use the phone.
Leave the building and call your gas supplier. If your gas supplier cannot be reached, call the fire department.
2. The gas control must be replaced if it has been flooded with water. Call a qualified service technician.
3. The gas control is a safety device. It must be replaced in case of any physical damage such as bent terminals, missing parts, stripped threads, or evidence of exposure to excessive heat.
Follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of your heating appliance.
33598-7-0315 Page 37

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.
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 control module.
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 ammonia free household cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner, contact a local dealer for this product). 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.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Do not attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.
Glass Removal and Replacement
1. Remove the front .
2. Unlatch the 4 spring clips going around the glass frame assembly.
Use the included tool to make it easier.
