FAN/BLOWER KIT ASSEMBLY
Fan or blower kit is optional (for Models VC36L, VC36LI,
VC36LH & CWC36C only) with this fireplace. Use of
blowers or fans other than manufactured by DESA voids the
warranty. Fan is operated by pressing the rocker switch (see
figure 5) in the lower right hand corner of the fireplace face.
Blower is operated by turning the control knob (not shown).
NOTE: Fireplace must be wired to the house electrical system
in order for fan to operate. Electrical connections are made
through the cover on the side of the fireplace. Use 14 AWG
copper wire for all connections.
CHIMNEY PIPE
The DESA chimney system consists of 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48
inch, snap-lock double-wall pipe segments, planned for
maximum adaptability to individual site requirements. Actual
lengths gained after fitting overlaps must be taken into
consideration (lineal gain) and are given in the lineal gain
chart (see figure 6).
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF THE DOUBLE
WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section is consist of a galvanized
outer pipe, a stainless steel inner flue pipe and a wire spacer.
The pipe sections must be assembled independently as the
chimney is installed. When connecting chimney directly to
the fireplace, the inner flue pipe section must be installed first
with the lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then be
installed over the flue pipe section with the hemmed end up.
Press down on each pipe section until the lances securely
engage the hem on the fireplace starter. The wire will assure
the proper spacing between the inner and outer pipe sections.
For Canada, use only chimney parts designated “HT”
Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above,
making sure that both the inner and outer pipe sections are
locked together. When installing double wall “snap lock”
chimney together, it is important to assure the joint between
the chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney
upward after locking. The chimney will not come apart if
properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep the
chimney together (exception – see page 5 figure 9).
INSTRUCTIONS WHEN ELBOW OFFSET (30E-8DM)
OF CHIMNEY IS NEEDED
1. To achieve desired offset, you may install combinations of
12”, 18”, 24”, 36” and 48” length of double wall pipe (SEE
SINGLE OFFSET CHARTAND FIGURE 7).
2. Chimney weight above offset rests on return elbow.
Straps must be securely nailed to rafters or joists (see figure 8,
details a & b).
3. Maximum length of pipe between supports (return elbow
or 12S-8DM) is 6’ of angle run. Maximum of two (2) 6’ angle
run sections per chimney system (see figure 7).

WARNING: The opening in the collar around the
chimney at the top of the fireplace must not be obstructed.
ever use blown insulation to fill the chimne
enclosure.
