This replace must be installed by the O.E.M.

builder or by a qualied (certied or licensed)

service person. It has a sealed gas combustion

chamber that uses a coaxial pipe (pipe within a

pipe and having the same center) venting system.

It brings in fresh air for combustion through the

outer pipe and combustion gases are exhausted

through the inner pipe. If the glass door assembly

and venting pipe are not properly seated, con-

nected and sealed, carbon monoxide leakage

(spillage) can occur.

   Early signs of

carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the u, with

headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have these

signs, the replace may not be working properly.

Get fresh air at once! Have replace serviced.

Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide

than others. These include pregnant women, people

with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the

inuence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.

    Propane/LP and

natural gas are odorless. An odor-making agent is

added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas

leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade.

Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings.

Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to

safe and proper operation of this replace.

PRODUCT FEATURES

These are a few facts that can help you understand

and enjoy your direct-vent replace:

• The dedicated top vent for this replace is suited

for any application where height is necessary

to terminate the venting system either through

the roof (vertical) or to gain sufcient height

and offset to vent to an outside/exterior wall

(horizontal).

• The vent pipe installation is very important to

allow for proper operation. You must select the

appropriate vent kits and components for your

application and follow the venting instructions

to plan your installation.

• This replace may be installed in any room pro-

vided that all rules of the housing authority and

these installation instructions are followed.

• This replace is equipped with a millivolt gas

control system that does not require electricity to

operate. A piezo ignitor is provided to light the

pilot without using matches or lighters.

• This model can accept an optional circulating

air blower when 120 VAC connection is sup-

plied. If you plan to install an optional blower,

do not forget to wire the replace outlet when

framing.

• Each time you turn on your replace, you may

notice some amount of condensation on the in-

side of the replace glass. This is normal and will

disappear after 10-20 minutes of operation.

• Your direct-vent gas replace system (replace

and venting) is a balanced and sealed gas oper-

ating unit. It is highly efcient because it uses

outside air for combustion while independently

heating the indoor air.

PRE-INSTALLATION

PREPARATION

LOCATION AND SPACE

REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efcient location for

your DESA/Vexar 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. Figure 2 shows some

common locations. Be aware of all restrictions and

precautions before deciding the exact location for

your replace and termination cap.

When deciding the location of your replace,

follow these rules:

• 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 trafc areas, windy or drafty

areas or near furniture or draperies.

• Proper clearances must be maintained.

• If your replace is to be installed directly on

carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible material

other than wood, it must be installed on a metal

or wood panel extending the full width and depth

of the replace. See Figure 3, page 6.

• Your replace is designed to be used in zero

clearance installations. Wall or framing material

can be placed directly against any exterior sur-

face on the back, sides or top of your replace,

except where standoff spacers are integrally

attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your

replace, these spacers can be placed directly

against wall or framing material. See framing

details on page 6.

• If you plan on installing a television or enter-

tainment center recessed above your replace, it

is recommended that you maintain a minimum

18" above top of louver opening.

www.desatech.com

118531-01A6

• When locating termination cap, it is important

to observe the minimum clearances shown in

Figure 7, page 8.

• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra

framing by positioning your replace against

an already existing framing member.

• Do not recess termination cap into a wall or

siding.

• You may paint the termination cap with 450ºF

(232ºC) heat-resistant paint to coordinate with

the exterior nish.

• There must not be any obstruction such as

bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or util-

ity buildings within 24" from the front of the

termination cap.

• Do not locate termination cap where excessive

snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to

clear vent termination area after snow falls to

prevent accidental blockage of venting system.

When using snow blowers, do not direct snow

towards vent termination area.

These models are tested and approved for use

with DESA/Vexar (direct-vent) pipe components

and terminations.

The venting system must terminate on the outside 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.

This model is approved to be vented either

horizontally through an outside wall or vertically

through a roof or chase enclosure using the fol-

lowing:

• When venting system terminates horizontally

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 combustibles

are 1" on all sides except on the horizontal

sections, which requires 2" clearance from

the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap

penetrates a combustible wall, 1" air space

clearance is required.

• Have replace and selected vent components on

hand to help determine the exact measurements

when elbowing or offsetting. Always use wall

restops when penetrating walls, ceilings or

attic spaces.

• Install horizontal venting with a 1/4" rise for

every 12" of run toward the termination.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

There are two starter vent kits available for

either a horizontal or a vertical installation:

• CHVK-58 Corner Horizontal Vent Kit - Intend-

ed for corner or ush installations with less than

24" of horizontal distance to the termination.

• CVVK-58 - Ceiling Vertical Vent Kit - Intended

for a straight vertical installation through a ceil-

ing with less than 9' to a roof termination.

Horizontal Termination Installation

IMPORTANT: Horizontal square terminations

require only inner portion of wall restop.

1. Set the replace in its desired location and deter-

mine the route your horizontal venting will take.

Do not secure the replace until all venting has

been installed. Some installations require sliding

the replace in and out of position to make nal

venting connections. Figures 14 through 18 on

pages 13 and 14 show different congurations

for venting with horizontal termination that will

help you decide which application best suits your

installation. Check to see if wall studs or roof

rafters are in the path of your desired venting

route. If they are, you may want to adjust the

location of the replace.

2. Direct vent pipe sections and components are

designed with special twist-lock connections.

 The female ends of the

pipes have locking lugs (indentations). These

lugs will slide straight into matching slots on

the male ends of adjacent pipes. Push pipe sec-

tions together and twist one section clockwise

approximately one-quarter turn until the sections

are fully locked (see Figure 10). Note: Horizon-

tal runs of vent must be supported every three

feet. Use wall straps for this purpose.

3. Any straight pipe section, a 45° or 90° elbow

can be used when rst connecting the venting

system to the replace. Elbows are designed

to twist-lock into any of four 90° positions to

direct the venting system to the desired loca-

tion. IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to alter

the conguration of the elbow by cutting,

twisting, bending, etc.

4. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and

elbows to the replace ue collar. If there are

long portions of venting run, pre-assembled

pipe sections may be installed as subassem-

blies for convenience.

INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL

TERMINATION

Note: Vertical restrictor must be installed in all

vertical installations.

1. Determine the route your vertical venting

will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters or other

framing will obstruct the venting system,

consider an offset (see Figure 19) to avoid cut-

ting load bearing members. Note: Pay special

attention to these installation instructions for

required clearances (air space) to combustibles

when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs,

enclosures, attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air

spaces with insulation. Also note maximum

vertical rise of the venting system and any

maximum horizontal offset limitations.

2. Set the replace in desired location. Drop a

plumb line down from the ceiling to the posi-

tion of the replace exit ue. Mark the center

point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling.

Drill a small locating hole at this point.

Drop a plumb line from the inside of the roof

to the locating hole in the ceiling. Mark the

center point where the vent will penetrate the

roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

1. Cut a 10

" square hole in the ceiling using

the locating hole as a center point. The open-

ing should be framed to 10

" x 10

" inside

dimensions, as shown in Figure 11 on page

11 using framing lumber the same size as the

ceiling joists. If the area above the ceiling is

an insulated ceiling, you must use the restop

thimble and special restop included with the

kit to prevent insulation from contacting the

vent pipe (see Thimble Installation, page 16).

Otherwise, install restop below the framed

hole. The restop should be installed with no

less than three nails per side (see Figure 20).

2. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and

elbows necessary to reach from the replace

ue up through the restop. Be sure all pipe

and elbow connections are fully twist-locked

(see Figure 10, page 11).

3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole

as a center point. (Cover any exposed open

vent pipes before cutting hole in roof.) The

" x 10

" hole must be measured on

the horizontal; actual length may be larger

depending on the pitch of the roof. There

must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to

combustible materials. Frame the opening as

shown in Figure 11, page 11.

4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up

through the hole.

Note: If an offset is needed to avoid obstruc-

tions, you must support the vent pipe every 3

feet. Use wall straps for this purpose (see Fig-

ure 19). Whenever possible, use 45° elbows

instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers

less restriction to the ow of the ue gases

and intake air.

Figure 20 - Installing Firestop

If area above is a room, install restop

above framed hole.

If area above is an insulated area, install

restop below framed hole.

www.desatech.com

118531-01A16

5. Place the ashing over the pipe section(s)

extending through the roof. Secure the base of

the ashing to the roof and framing with roof-

ing nails. Be sure roong material overlaps the

top edge of the ashing as shown in Figure 19,

page 15. There must be a 1" clearance from

the vent pipe to combustible materials.

Continue to add pipe sections until the height of

the vent cap meets the minimum building code

requirements described in Figure 9 on page 9.

Note: You must increase vent height for steep roof

pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining rooines, steep

pitched roofs and other similar factors may cause

poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increas-

ing the vent height may solve this problem.

7. Twist-lock the vent cap onto the last section

of vent pipe.

Note: If the vent pipe passes through any occupied

areas above the rst oor, including storage spaces

and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame

and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construc-

tion material. Make sure and meet the minimum

allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not ll

any of the required air spaces with insulation.



1. Plumb and locate knockout area for vent pipe.

2. Cut and frame ceiling joist to dimensions

shown in Figure 11, page 11.

3. Determine where restop plate should be at-

tached to thimble by test-tting thimble into

framing. Thimble should be at or above the

height of the insulation.

4. Attach thimble into restop plate using 4 hex

screws provided (see Figure 21).

sence of local code, with the

current National Electric Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian

Electric Code, CSA C22.1

A prewired junction box receptacle with strain

relief is provided on the right side of the cabinet

for hard wiring the unit to a 15 Amp, 120VAC,

60Hz grounded branch circuit. If the installation

demands that the electrical supply be connected

from the left side, the entire receptacle box can

be relocated to the left side by following these

instructions:

Note: If you do not need to relocate the junction

box, to connect the electric supply follow steps 8

through 11 only:

1. Remove 2 screws and outer cover with strain

relief bushing on right side of cabinet (see

Figure 26).

2. Remove inner retaining screw on junction box

mounting tab.

3. Slide junction box up until screw mounting

tab is lined up to notch in outer cabinet.

holes line up and replace the inner retaining

screw.

8. With junction box cover removed, pull the end

of 3-wire Romex supply line through universal

strain relief bushing on cover (see Figure 26,

page 18).

9. Strip back the outer Romex to about 4" and

connect black, white and green wires accord-

ingly using 3 wire nut connectors.

10. Tuck tailing wires into junction box and

replace junction box cover using 2 remaining

screws.

11. Tighten down strain adjustment on universal

bushing until Romex sheathing is secured.

The electrical connection is now complete.

1. Attach power cord to blower motor by rmly

pushing the two female terminals at the end of

power cord onto the two spade terminals on

blower motor (see Figure 27).

2. Attach green ground wire from power cord

to blower housing using screw provided (see

Figure 27). Tighten screws securely.

3. Place blower against lower rear wall of the

rebox outer wrapper with exhaust port di-

rected upward. The blower will t inside the

back opening and be held in position against

the back wall by magnets (see Figure 27).

Be certain that all wire terminals are securely at-

tached to terminals on blower motor and that the

screw retaining the green ground wire is tight.

5. Mount speed control box by placing plastic

control shaft through opening in switch

bracket (see Figure 28).

6. While supporting speed control, secure control

shaft with lock nut by pushing and turning

lock nut with pliers clockwise until it is tight

against front panel. Place control knob pro-

vided on shaft.

7. Turn on power to duplex outlet if previously

turned off per the warningon page 19.

8. Plug in blower power cord.

a. If your rebox is installed as a free-

standing unit with an accessory mantel,

determine whether the power cord will exit

the left side or the right side of the rebox.

Route power cord through exit hole and

plug the power cord into a wall receptacle

near the rebox.

b. If your rebox installation is recessed

and/or prewired, plug the power cord into

the duplex outlet provided. Refer to your

rebox owner’s manual for instructions

on wiring the duplex outlet.

CAUTION: Never touch the

9. Check to make sure that the power cord is com-

pletely clear of the blower wheel and that there

are no other foreign objects in blower wheel.

Turn blower on and check for operation. Turn

blower off by turning knob fully counterclock-

wise before continuing.

10. Peel off the backing paper and stick the sup-

plied wiring diagram decal on the rebox bot-

tom approximately 12" in front of the blower

Note: When installing the BKT thermostati-

cally-controlled blower, you must rst secure the

thermal switch bracket to the blower if it has not

already been factory installed.

1. Place the green ground wire with ring terminal

between the bottom hole on the thermal switch

bracket and the top ear hole on the blower as-

sembly. Insert the phillips screw into all three

pieces and tighten securely (see Figure 30).

2. Connect wire harness and power cord ter-

minals. Connect the blue jumper wire to the

blower motor terminal and the right side ter-

minal of the thermal switch. Connect the black

wire to the left side of the thermal switch and

the white wire to the other remaining blower

motor terminal.

Note: The power cord outer insulation sleeve may

have to be stripped slightly to allow enough wire

length to reach and make all connections. DO NOT

trim excessive length away. Just enable enough to

make all connections securely.
