CLEARANCES (cont.) Special Vent Systems The following vent systems are acceptable for use with the DVP30CA fireplace: Simpson Duravent® GS 4" - 6 5/8" American Metal® 4" - 6 5/8" *Selkirk Direct-Temp® 4" - 6 5/8" * Can not be used in side wall horizontal vent installations in the State of Massachusetts. 90° ELBOW 24” PIPE SECTION (610 mm) 56 1/4” (1.43 m) Figure 5 VENTING FIREPLACE Venting Graph (Dimensions in Feet) (Figure 6) 1. Determine the height of the center of the termination.
VENTING FIREPLACE (cont.) 0 Sidewall Venting The maximum vertical and horizontal distances are 25 feet and 12 feet, respectively. Vertical dimensions are based on top of fireplace to centerline of pipe. Horizontal dimensions are based on centerline of pipe to termination.
RESTRICTOR PLATE INSTALLATION The restrictor plate is to be used only in a completely vertical vent installation. The restrictor plate can be used when the vertical vent rise is between 10 feet and 25 feet. In a vertical vent rise the rear (yellow) flames on the main burner can be reduced due to the drawing action from the flue exhaust pipe and the air inlet pipe. A decrease in the height or the appearance of the yellow flame may occur when the vertical vent rise is between 10 feet and 25 feet.

VENT SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION Installing Vent Components (Figure 16 and Figure 17) Begin the vent system installation by installing the first Simpson Duravent component, a straight pipe on the top of the appliance, or rotate the vent elbow to the horizontal position then add horizontal and vertical pipe lengths and then a horizontal or vertical termination kit. Elbows can be added where necessary. See Pages 14 through 16 for venting requirements.
FRAMING AND FINISHING Installing Support Brackets (Figure 18) A horizontal pipe support MUST BE used for each 3 feet of horizontal run. The pipe supports should be placed around 6 5/8 inch diameter pipe and nailed in place to framing members. There MUST BE a 2 inch clearance to combustibles above 6 5/8 inch diameter pipe and elbows and 1 inch clearance on both sides and bottom of 6-5/8 inch to combustibles on all horizontal pipe sections and elbows.
FRAMING AND FINISHING (continued) Figure 21 Figure 22 HORIZONTAL TERMINATION Attach and secure the termination to the last section of horizontal venting by sliding cap over the last section of horizontal venting to ensure proper location. 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 the arrow is pointing up.
VERTICAL TERMINATION Vertical Terminations (Figures 24, 25, and 26) Locate and mark the center point of the venting pipe. Using a nail on the underside of the roof and drive this nail through this center point. Make the outline of the roof hole around this center point. NOTE: Size of the roof hole dimensions depend on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1 inch clearance (25 mm) to the vertical pipe sections. This clearance is to all combustible material.
VERTICAL TERMINATION (continued) 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.

OPERATING GUIDELINES Before operating this heater, please review the safety warnings pages at the beginning of this manual and those precautions and warnings listed below. 1. Know what type of ignition system this model has (standing pilot) and follow the applicable SAFETY and LIGHTING instructions. 2. Check to ensure there are no gas leaks. If you are unsure, turn gas off to the heater and call a service person or your gas utility.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly. B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
PILOT FLAME CHARACTERISTICS Figure 30 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. The correct flame will be blue and will extend beyond the thermocouple and thermopile. The flame will surround the thermocouple and thermopile just below the tip. A slight yellow flame may occur where the pilot flame and main burner flame meet. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple or thermopile. This will cause the thermocouple or thermopile to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.
MAIN BURNER FLAME CHARACTERISTICS Figure 31 shows a correct main burner flame pattern. Figure 32 shows an incorrect main burner flame pattern. If main burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 32: • See Troubleshooting, page 29. Cleaning and Maintenance / Main Burner Warning: Turn off heater and let cool before cleaning. After use, cleaning of the main burner may be required for the proper flame. The main burner may be cleaned by applying pressurized air to the ports on the main burner.
