every foot to ensure proper vent operation.
The 4” x 7” flex system may be used for all sidewall
applications and vertical venting up to 35’ (10.7 m).
Flex shall be properly supported so there are no
sags in the system. Supports must be used at least
every 24” (610 mm) on horizontal section and every
36” (914 mm) on vertical. Wire or metal stripping
may be used to support the venting.
For 4” x 7” flex, the 7” flex has an outside diameter
of 7¹⁄₂” (191 mm) and if installed in a chase the in-
side diameter of the chase should be 9¹⁄₂” (241 mm)

Lengths of co-axial flex may be joined together using
a flex connector kit (GFPVCK) only, maximum 1 kit
per installation.
An extension collar is included with side wall cap kits to
simplify the connection of the flex pipe to the fireplace.
Refer to Page 13, Figure 22.
ATTENTION: Spacer springs must be installed when
installing flexible venting systems.
Wrap spacer spring around flex flue pipe and overlap
spring ends approximately 2” (610 mm). Tie one end
over the other like a shoelace tie, then reverse direc-
tion of spring ends. Lift up hooped spring and slide both
spring ends underneath hooped spring. Spring spacers
should be spaced at approximately 12” (305 mm) inter-
vals for the length of pipe system. Once the springs are
placed around the flue pipe, slide the flue section with
spacer springs into the outer flex pipe.

7. If an attic space (insulated or not) is located above
the ceiling, the firestop should be installed to the
underside of the ceiling. The firestop maintains the
proper air-space clearance from the vent to insula-
tion and building materials. An attic insulation shield
(AS7-8) may be used above the firestop to keep attic
insulation spaced away from the vent system.
8. Rigid pipe section included with vertical termination
must be used in conjunction with the roof support so
that the termination is secure in winds. All vent kit
components can be assembled on the ground first,
then lift complete assembly onto the roof and feed
flex vent down thru the roof opening and firestop
thimble assembly. Then trim off unneeded flex at unit
and make the connection at the fireplace flue and in-
let collars. Make sure vent cap will be in accordance
with the vertical termination location chart. Install the
roof flashing below the shingles across the top half,
and above the shingles on the lower half.
9. Install storm collar and caulk around the pipe.
TDV Series Direct Vent System Installation
The TDV series vent system is specifically approved
only for Temco Direct-Vent fireplace models with a 4”
(102 mm) diameter flue and a 7” (178 mm) diameter
inlet vent system. The use of uncertified venting will
void warranties and may compromise the operation
and safety of the appliance.
Termination shall not be recessed into a wall or sid-
ing.
The vent system shall be properly supported so
there are no sags in the system. Supports must be
used at least every 3’ (914mm) on horizontal section
and every 6’ (1.8m) on vertical.
Horizontal sections must maintain a minimum 1/4”
rise per linear foot of horizontal run.
Combustible clearances from any horizontal vent
pipe area must be 2” (51mm) from top of vent, and
1” (25mm) from sides and bottom.
Clearance to combustibles from vertical pipe surface
is 1” (25mm).
Prior to securing each vent component, make sure
the sections are pushed together firmly to maintain
vent integrity.
Sidewall (Horizontal) Venting, General
When locating the vent termination, the minimum vent
clearances must be observed.
NOTE: Local codes may require different clearances.
It is recommended that the temination not be located
within 24” (610 mm) of garden sheds, fences, decks,
utility buildings or other obstructions.

Do not locate vent terminal where excessive snow or
ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termina-
tion area after snow falls and clear to prevent accidental
blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers,
make sure snow is not directed towards vent termina-
tion area.
The TDV series is considered a “special vent system”.
Check with local codes or in the absence of same, with
CSA B149.1 installation codes regarding special vent
termination clearances.

Through the Roof (Vertical) Venting
When the venting penetrates a roof, the system must
be insalled in accordance with the current CSA B149.1
installation code (in Canada) or the current National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (in U.S.A.).
SEE CHART FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION LOCA-
TION.
Elbows & Offsets - General
Each installation assures the use of one 45° elbow hori-
zontal or vertical (off top of unit).
Sidewall (Horizontal) Venting Information
1. Make sure fireplace location and termination location
are consistent with requirements for terminations
and vent runs.
2. Secure unit to the floor.

5. Align the flue and inlet pipes of each vent section
to the mating component, then slide the sections
together. Before a joint in the system is secured,
push the vent components together using moderate
force to ensure joint overlap of approximately 1¹⁄₂
(38 mm).
6. Secure vent components with a minimum of three (3)
screws at each joint (pipe joint to pipe, joint sealants
are not required). Never use screws in vent systems
longer than 1” (25 mm).
7. Vent sections and elbows may be rotated 360° prior
to securement to obtain the desired direction of vent
run, and provide flexibility.
8. Make sure all horizontal sections have no sags and
maintain a minimum 1/4” (6mm) rise per linear foot.
9. Using the high temperature sealant provided, apply
a small bead of sealant to both the flue and inlet pipe
extensions on the vent terminal (cap) and install the
horizontal vent terminal to side of building with four
(4) screws provided.
10. If the last section of vent pipe does not allow the
vent terminal to seat against the outside wall, it will
be necessary to replace the last vent section with a
shorter vent section. In addition, you may also mea-
sure the distance between the wall and back flanges
of the terminal base plate. Next, trim off the terminal
flue and inlet pipes to the dimension measured and
reinstall the vent terminal.

Operating Instructions
Only glass approved by CFM Corporation
should be used on this fireplace.
The use of any non-approved replace-
ment glass will void all product warranties.
Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.
Do not operate appliance with glass front re-
moved, cracked or broken.
Replacement glass (complete with gasket) is
available through your Temco dealer and should
only be installed by a licensed qualified service
person.
Do not remove the glass door when unit is hot to
the touch.
NOTE: Inspect the door gasket. The braided door
seal gasket has a small overlap area near corner of
the top black extrusion. Identify this area and install
the door with this area at the top.
Glass Door Removal Procedure
1. Remove upper and lower louvre assemblies and set
aside. Refer to louvre installation instructions.
2. Using gloves, carefully unlatch the latches (3) along
the bottom edge of the glass door. Then as the top
latches are unlatched, continue to place gentle pres-
sure to the glass door to reduce the chances of the
door being dropped accidentally.
3. Once all latches have been secured, pull the door
(4) outward from the face of the fire chamber.
4. Take care during handling and cleaning of the glass
door so that it is not dropped or accidentally broken.
5. Cleaning of the glass should only be done when the
glass door is cool. Refer to Glass Cleaning section.
6. To reinstall glass door, carefully center the door
onto the face of the fireplace (left to right), sec-
ond, shift the door assembly upwards slightly, then
secure door with the throw-over latches above and
below the firechamber. By shifting the door upwards
before latching, the upper door latches will be less
visible once the upper louvre is installed.
7. Reinstall the upper and lower louvre assemblies.
Refer to louvre installation.
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. Dur-
ing start-up, condensation - which is normal - forms on
the inside of the glass and causes dust, lint, etc. to cling
to the glass surface. Also, initial paint curing can de-
posit a slight film on the glass. In some geographic ar-
eas, a white film may be deposited on the glass due to
combustion of some of the constituents of natural gas.
It is therefore recommended that initially the glass be
cleaned two or three times with non-abrasive common
household cleansers and warm water. After that, the
glass should be cleaned two or three times a season
depending on the amount that the fireplace is used.
To remove, simply unlatch the top and bottom door
latches and carefully pull door forward. Use of gloves
recommended.
Do not clean when the glass is hot.
Do not strike or abuse glass.
Do not place glass door on edge after
removal.
Louvre Installation
The fireplace is shipped without the louvre assemblies
installed. Various styles and finishes are available as
options. Contact your nearest Temco dealer/distributor
for information on the Louvre Kits available.
1. To install the upper louvre assembly, the second lou-
vre blade from the top on each louvre assembly will
hook onto the top tabs of the louvre brackets. (Fig.
29)
2. Once the second louvre blade has engaged the top
tab of the end brackets, swing the bottom of the lou-
vre assembly inward so the louvre hangs flush with
the fireplace face.
3. To install the bottom louvre assembly, hook the top
louvre blade ends over the top hang tabs located at
the left and right ends of the panel opening.

sitions provided with pins on back logs, and grooves
on the center log. (Fig. 33)
6. Unpack steel wool and cut off a 1” x 3” (25 x 76 mm)
strip. Save the remainder of the steel wool for future
use. Carefully stretch the strip out the full length of
the burner’s ported area and then place it on the
ember tray allowing the steel wool to hang over the
burner. Place the rock wool loosely on top of the
steel wool and top edge of the ember retainer along
entire length of ported area of front burner. Use indi-
vidual pieces of rock wool about the size of quarter.
Rock wool should be fluffed up and not compressed.

Maintenance
Once installed, the unit should be operated at least
three (3) times to ensure that all is in working order.
NOTE: Manufacturing oils will smoke during initial firing
of appliance. Open windows for ventilation.
Unit Adjustment
Before leaving, the installer should make the following
checks:
Btu Input/Gas Pressure
The fireplace input is marked on the Rating Plate. The
gas inlet pressure specified in Table 1 is the pressure
where the field-installed gas line connects to the gas
control. This is measured at the inlet test port on the
gas valve in the appliance. Ensure that pressure is as
shown in Table 1.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control and should be checked at the
pressure outlet test port located on the body of the gas
valve.
The pressure should be checked with the appliance
burning on high (highest setting) and all other gas ap-
pliances turned on. One must then read the manometer
and if pressures are not as specified in Table 1, then the
inlet pressure must be adjusted.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 KPa).
Manifold pressure can be measured by using a 5/16”
I.D. hose or tubing. Using a small blade screwdriver,
back out the pressure screw for one full turn. Next, slip
the tubing over the pressure tap extension to check
the pressure with a manometer. Inlet and outlet pres-
sure taps are located on the front (lower left side) of the
valve body.
1. Tap on the left side of the valve will give inlet supply
pressure.
2. Tap on the right side of the valve will give manifold
pressure.
Pressure ranges are as listed below:
Table 1
Gas Supply Pressure (inches w.c.)
Minimum Normal Maximum
Natural Gas 4.5” 7.0” 14.0”
LP (Propane) 10.8” 11.0” 14.0”
Manifold Pressure (inches w.c.)
Normal (HI) Normal (Low)
Natural Gas 3.5” 1.6”
LP (Propane) 10.0” 6.3”
High Altitude
When installing this fireplace at an elevation between
0 and 2000 feet (0 - 610m) in the USA and 0 and 4500
feet (0 - 1370m) in Canada the input rating does not
need to be reduced.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above
2,000 feet (in the United States), it may be necessary to
decrease the input rating by changing the existing burn-
er orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced
four percent (4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level,
unless the heating value of the gas has been reduced,
in which case this general rule will not apply. To identify
the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above
4,500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determin-
ing the proper orifice for your location.
Main Burner/Pilot
The pilot flame size is factory set. The pilot flame
should be at least 1¹⁄₂” (38 mm) long. The flame should
be impinging on the pilot generator. Pilot size can be
adjusted through the pilot adjust screw. If the pilot flame
is too small and can not be adjusted through the pilot
adjust screw then there is the possibility of dirt in the
pilot orifice in which case the pilot orifice should be
cleaned or replaced.
The main burner should be allowed to operate for 15 to
20 minutes before making any adjustment to the burner.
The air shutter on the right front of the main burner
should be adjusted so that there are no orange/red
flames with dark sooty looking tips. A luminous yellow
flame with blue base is what is acceptable.
For burner air shutter settings see Air Shutter Settings
chart. (Page 33)
If there is too much primary air then the flame will be
very blue with yellow tips and smaller flame height.
If there is too little primary air then the flame will be yel-
low with orange/red tips on the back flames with dark
sooty elongated tips. In this condition the glass and logs
could show signs of soot accumulation within 10 to 20
minutes.
Maintenance
Motor and Blower for Fan Kit (optional)
This motor has been factory oiled and under normal
operating conditions should not require oiling.
WARNING: Ensure the power is turned off to
the fireplace before servicing.

Cleaning
This unit should be cleaned and serviced by a Qualified
Gas Technician at least annually. More frequent clean-
ing may be necessary if pet hair accumulates, dust and
lint are present, or if the unit is located in a high traffic
area. A Qualified Agency is defined in the Gas Code.
Cleaning should include burner tubes, orifice/injectors
(refer to section B.3 National Fuel Gas Code), logs,
ceramic base, and pilot assembly. It is recommended
that the sediment trap in the gas line be emptied and
cleaned at this time. (See Section 3.7.2 National Fuel
Gas Code)
Burner, Pilot, Firebox and Logs
CAUTION: Before cleaning or moving logs or
other parts of the unit, be sure to read the sec-
tion on important safeguards.
Cleaning should be done before the logs are used each
year and after long periods of non-use. All cleaning
should be carried out when the appliance is cold.
Cleaning will be required under normal use. Dusting the
front grate or the control knob panel may be required
occasionally. Do not use any cleaning fluids to clean the
logs or any other part of the appliance.
If the flames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or if
the burners fail to ignite properly, then the burner holes
may require cleaning. If this occurs, contact your near-
est dealer to get the appliance serviced.
Alternatively, the appliance can be cleaned by removing
all the logs. Handle the logs gently so as not to damage
them. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at each
end.
After the logs are removed allowing access to the burn-
er area, use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dust
and loose particles from the base, logs and from around
the burners. Gloves are recommended to prevent the
ceramic fibers that compose the logs from pricking your
skin. If the skin is pricked, wash gently with soap and
water. Use extreme caution in cleaning around the pilot.
The pilot should not be moved or altered from the origi-
nal factory setting (Pilot to burner preset location). The
burner should be placed back into its original locked
and secure position after cleaning and servicing(proper
location of burners are critical). NOTE: All replacements
and repairs should be performed by a qualified techni-
cian (contact your nearest dealer). After cleaning and/or
repairs, follow instructions for positioning of logs as
illustrated on Page 21.
Glass
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. Dur-
ing startup it is normal for condensation to form on the
glass and cause dirt, lint, etc., to adhere to the inner
surface of the glass. There also will be a film deposited
on the glass during the initial use of the fireplace due
to initial curing of the paint. It is recommended that
the glass be cleaned with a non-abrasive household
cleaner and warm water. Be sure to rinse and dry the
glass well as not to leave any marks. It will be neces-
sary to clean the glass up to 3 times a season depend-
ing on use of the fireplace.
Louvres/Trim/Surround
All gold, platinum, black anodized and painted surfaces
should only be wiped off with a soft non-abrasive damp
cloth (a mild dish soap can be used if necessary).
DO NOT use brass or other metal polishes, glass clean-
ers or any abrasive cleaners as this will mark and dam-
age brass or painted surfaces.
