Your fireplace is approved to be vented either
through the side wall, or vertically using the
following guidelines:
• Only use Vanguard or Simpson DuraVent GS venting components or kits specifically approved for this fireplace.
• Minimum clearance between vent pipes
and combustible materials is 1" (25 mm),
except where stated otherwise.
• Combustible material may be flush with
the top front of fireplace with a maximum thickness of 3/4".
• Do not recess venting terminals into a
wall or siding.
• You must install a vinyl siding standoff if
vinyl siding is covering the exterior wall.
• Install horizontal venting with a 1/4" rise for
every 12" of run toward the termination.
• You may paint the vent terminal with
450ºF (232ºC) heat-resistant paint to coordinate with the exterior finish.
• There must not be any obstruction such
as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks,
or utility 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.

When locating vent termination, it is important to observe the minimum clearances
shown in Figure 8, page 6. You will avoid
extra framing by positioning your fireplace
against an already existing framing member. The sides of the fireplace may be positioned directly against combustible walls.

VENTING
INSTALLATION
WARNING: Read all instructions completely and thoroughly
before attempting installation.
Failure to do so could result in
serious injury, property damage
or loss of life. Operation of improperly installed and maintained
venting system could result in
serious injury, property damage
or loss of life.
WARNING: Seal all vent connections. Seal only the outer pipe
connections with high temperature
silicone (600°F/316° C). Before joining elbows and pipes, apply a bead
of high temperature silicone sealant (GE RTV 106/Loctite RTV 81585)
to the male end of the elbow or
pipe. High temperature silicone
must also be used to re-seal any
connections after maintenance to
venting system.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these
instructions will void the warranty.

INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
Consult local building codes before beginning
the installation. The installer must make sure
to select the proper vent system for installation. Before installing vent kit, the installer
must read this fireplace manual and vent kit
instructions.

• Installation of any component part not
manufactured or approved by DESA
International
• Installation other than as instructed by
these instructions
WARNING: This gas fireplace
and vent assembly must be
vented directly to the outside.
The venting system must NEVER
be attached to a chimney serving
a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each gas appliance must
use a separate vent system. Do
not use common vent systems.
WARNING: Horizontal sections of this vent system require a
minimum clearance of 2" from the
top of the pipe and 1" minimum to
the sides and bottom. 1 1/2" clearance is required where the termination penetrates a combustible
wall. Vertical sections of this system require a minimum of 1" clearance to combustible materials on
all sides of the pipe.

INSTALLATION PLANNING
There are two basic types of direct-vent
installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
It is important to select the proper length of
vent pipe for the type of termination you
choose. It is also important to note the wall
thickness.

Only a qualified service person should install venting system. The installer must follow these safety rules:
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for
protection
• Use extreme caution when using ladders
or when on roof tops
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations
in walls and ceilings

For Horizontal Termination: Select the
amount of vertical rise desired. The horizontal run of venting must have 1/4" rise for
every 12" of run towards the termination.

The following actions will void the warranty on your venting system:
• Installation of any damaged venting
component
• Unauthorized modification of the venting system

You may use one or two 90° elbows in this
vent configuration. See Horizontal Termination Configurations on pages 10 and 11.

106516

WARNING: Never run the vent
downward as this may cause excessive temperatures which
could cause a fire.

For Vertical Termination: Measure the dis-

tance from the fireplace flue outlet to the
ceiling. Add the ceiling thickness, the verti7

cal rise in an attic or second story, and allow
for sufficient vent height above the roofline.
You may use one or two 90° elbows in this
vent configuration. See Vertical Termination
Configurations on pages 13 and 14.

Note: You may use two 45° elbows in place
of a 90° elbow. You must follow rise to run
ratios when using 45° elbows.
For two-story applications, firestops are required at each floor level. If an offset is
needed in the attic, additional pipe and elbows will be required.
You may use a chase with a vent termination
with exposed pipe on the exterior of the house.
See Installing Vent System in a Chase, below.
Your Vanguard direct-vent fireplace has been
tested for a minimum 3' rise with a maximum
10" wall thickness. The maximum horizontal run is 20' with 8' vertical rise (see Installation for Horizontal Termination, page 8).
The maximum vertical run is 30' (see Installation for Vertical Termination, page 12).
It is very important that the venting system
maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust.
Certain limitations apply to vent configurations and must be strictly followed.

Installing Vent System in a Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built
to enclose venting that runs along the outside of a building. A chase is not required for
such venting.
NOTICE: Treatment of firestops
and construction of the chase may
vary from building type to building type. These instructions are
not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. You
must follow all local building
codes.

Note: When installing in a chase, you should
insulate the chase as you would the outside
walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible
materials such as insulation is 1".
After framing the chase (see Framing and
Finishing on pages 4 and 5) install the vent
system by following the installation instructions.

INSTALLATION FOR
HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
1.

Determine the route your horizontal
venting will take. Note: The location
of the horizontal vent termination on
the exterior wall must meet all local and
national building codes and must not
be easily blocked or obstructed.

12" Minimum
To Ground Level

,,,,,
,,,,,
,,,,,
,,,,,

WARNING: Do not recess vent
terminal into a wall or siding.

Snorkel terminations are available for
terminations requiring a vertical rise on
the exterior of the building (see Figures
9 and 10). Snorkel kit SVK is also available (see page 15). Follow the same installation procedures used for standard
horizontal terminations. If installing the
snorkel termination below grade (basement applications), you must provide
proper drainage to prevent water from
entering the snorkel termination (see
Figure 10). Do not back fill around the
snorkel termination.
Rigid vent pipes and fittings have special twist-lock connections. Assemble
the desired combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor with pipe
seams oriented towards the wall or floor.
Twist-lock Procedure: The female
ends of the pipes and fittings have four
locking lugs (indentations). These lugs
will slide straight into matching slots on
the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings. (All connections must be sealed
with high temperature silicone sealant
as specified in the second warning statement on page 7.) Push the pipe sections
together and twist one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn until the
sections are fully locked. See Figure 11,
page 9. Note: Horizontal runs of vent
must be supported every three feet. Use
wall straps for this purpose.
Flexible vent pipe must be installed with
spacer springs every 12". See Figure 11,
page 9. All connections must be clamped
tightly and sealed with high temperature
silicone sealant as specified in the second warning statement on page 7.

INSTALLATION FOR
VERTICAL TERMINATION
NOTICE: Use rigid pipe only. Flex
venting is not to be used with a
vertical termination.
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 21) to avoid cutting 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. Offsets must
fall within the parameters shown in
Figure 8 on page 6.
Set the fireplace in desired location.
Drop a plumb line down from the ceiling to the position of the fireplace exit
flue. 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.

Cut a 10" square hole in the ceiling using the locating hole as a center point.
The opening should be framed to
10"x10" (254mm x 254mm) inside dimensions, as shown in Figure 12 on
page 9 using framing lumber the same
size as the ceiling joists. If the area
above the ceiling is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail firestop from the
top side. This prevents loose insulation
from falling into the required clearance
space. Otherwise, install firestop below
the framed hole. The firestop should be
installed with no less than three nails
per side (see Figure 22).
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe
and elbows necessary to reach from the
fireplace flue up through the firestop.
All connections must be sealed with
high temperature silicone sealant as
specified in the second warning statement on page 7. Be sure all pipe and
elbow connections are fully twistlocked (see Figure 11, page 9).
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 10"x10" 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 12 on page 9.
If area above is a room, install firestop
above framed hole.

Roof
Flashing

Connect a section of pipe and extend
up through the hole.
Note: If an offset is needed to avoid
obstructions, you must support the vent
pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for
this purpose (see Figure 21). Whenever
possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of the flue gases
and intake air.
5. Place the flashing over the pipe
section(s) extending through the roof.
Secure the base of the flashing to the
roof and framing with roofing nails. Be
sure roofing material overlaps the top
edge of the flashing as shown in Figure
21. There must be a 1" clearance from
the vent pipe to combustible materials.
6. Continue to add pipe sections until the
height of the vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements described in Figure 8 on page 6. Note: You
must increase vent height for steep roof
pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining rooflines,
steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing the vent
height may solve this problem.
7. Twist-lock the vent cap onto the last
section of vent pipe and seal outer pipe
connection with high temperature silicone sealant as specified in the second
warning statement on page 7.
Note: If the vent pipe passes through any
occupied areas above the first floor, including
storage spaces and closets, you must enclose
pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construction material. Make
sure and meet the minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the
required air spaces with insulation.

Vertical Termination Configurations
Figures 25 through 28 show four different configurations for vertical termination. All
connections must be sealed with high temperature silicone sealant as specified in the second
warning statement on page 7.

Lower the support box through the hole
in the roof until the bottom of the box
extends at least 2" below the ceiling
(see Figure 23). Align the support box
vertically and horizontally using a level.
Temporarily tack the support box in
place through the inside walls and into
the roof sheathing.
Using tin snips, cut the support box from
the top corners down to the roofline and
fold the resulting flaps over the roof
sheathing (see Figure 24). Apply a bead
of non-hardening mastic around the top
edges of the support box to make a seal
between the box and the roof. Nail in
place with roofing nails. Remove any
combustible material that might be inside of the support box.
Complete the cathedral ceiling installation by following the same procedures outlined in steps 2 through 7 for

INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This fireplace is intended for use as supplemental
heat. Use this fireplace along with
your primary heating system. Do
not install this fireplace as your
primary heat source. If you have
a central heating system, you may
run system's circulating blower
while using fireplace. This will
help circulate the heat throughout the house. In the event of a
power outage, you can use this
fireplace as a heat source.
WARNING: A qualified service person must install fireplace.
Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: This fireplace creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces
next to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating fireplace
where impurities (such as tobacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may
discolor walls.

Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used
in zero clearance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against
any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top
of your fireplace, except where standoff
spacers are integrally attached. If standoff
spacers are attached to your fireplace, these
spacers can be placed directly against wall
or framing material. See framing details on
page 4.

CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the fireplace unit
you are installing. If you have conflicting
gas types, do not install fireplace. See dealer
where you purchased the fireplace for proper
fireplace according to your gas type.

INSTALLING OPTIONAL

Plug in blower power cord.
a. If your fireplace system is installed
as a freestanding unit with an accessory mantel, determine whether
the power cord will exit the left side
or the right side of the firebox. Install one plastic bushing provided
into the 1 1/2" hole in the outer casing through which the power cord
will exit. Install the second plastic
bushing provided into the floor support bracket if exiting through the
right side (see Figure 33). Route
power cord through (both) plastic
bushing(s) and plug the power cord
into a properly grounded 3-prong
wall receptacle near the firebox.
b. If your fireplace system installation
is recessed and/or pre-wired, a
qualified installer must make all electrical connections for the outlet kit
included with the fireplace.

Check to make sure that the power cord
is completely 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 rotating knob fully counterclockwise before continuing.
WARNING: Never touch the
blower wheel while in operation.

10. Peel off the backing paper and stick the
supplied wiring diagram decal on the
firebox bottom approximately 3" to the
right of the blower speed control
bracket (see Figure 33).

WARNING: Failure to position
the parts in accordance with supplied diagrams or failure to use
only parts specifically approved
with this heater may result in damage or personal injury.
11. Connect or reconnect gas supply to fireplace per Connecting Fireplace to Gas

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO
FIREPLACE LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified service person must connect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP
units, never connect heater directly to the propane/LP supply.
This heater requires an external
regulator (not supplied). Install the
external regulator between the
heater and propane/LP supply.

CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2"
diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to fireplace. If
pipe is too small, undue loss of
pressure will occur.
Installation must include an equipment
shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT
tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test
gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream
from fireplace (see Figure 35).
Propane/LP
Supply Tank
External
Regulator

Installation Items Needed
Before installing fireplace, make sure you
have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes) (not
provided)
* An CSA/AGA design-certified equipment
shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection.
Purchase the CSA/AGA design-certified
equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator.
The external regulator will reduce incoming
gas pressure. You must reduce incoming
gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of
water. If you do not reduce incoming gas
pressure, heater regulator damage could
occur. Install external regulator with the
vent pointing down as shown in Figure 34.
Pointing the vent down protects it from
freezing rain or sleet.

Vent
Pointing
Down

IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff
valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or
shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special
requirements for locating equipment shutoff
valve to fireplaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male
threads. This will prevent excess sealant
from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe
could result in clogged fireplace valves.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in
Figure 35. Locate sediment trap/drip leg
where it is within reach for cleaning. Install
in piping system between fuel supply and
heater. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where
trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A
sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into
fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap/drip
leg is not installed or is installed wrong,
fireplace may not run properly.

WALL MOUNTED
THERMOSTAT
WARNING: Do not connect
the thermostat to a power source.
Electrical shock and/or a fire hazard will occur.
Light the fireplace as instructed in Lighting Instructions on page 25. Set wall thermostat to desired temperature.
This thermostat has been electronically
calibrated at the factory and requires no
adjustment or leveling.
Upon installation, the thermostat must
be allowed to stabilize at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes for
proper operation.
To turn the fireplace off, adjust thermostat to the lowest setting and turn the gas
control knob back to PILOT. The pilot
will remain lit.

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the
proper flame height. Alterations may have
occurred during shipping and handling. Call
a qualified service person to readjust the
pilot if necessary.
The height of the thermopile must be 3/8" to
1/2" above the pilot flame as shown in Figure
59. The thermocouple must be at a height of
about 1/8" above the pilot flame. The flame
from the pilot burner must extend beyond
both the thermocouple and thermopile.

Make sure the heater switch is on AUTO.
This wall switch works just like the conventional light switch. Flip the switch up
for on and down for off.

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the flames will lift or "ghost". This
can be dangerous. Inspect the flames after
installation to ensure proper installation and
performance.
Figure 60 shows a typical flame pattern for
BHDV34NB and BHDV34PB.
If burner flame pattern differs from that
described:
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off fireplace
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners, and circulating air passageways of fireplace
clean. Inspect these areas of fireplace before each use. Have fireplace inspected yearly by a qualified service person. Fireplace may
need more frequent cleaning due
to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOOR
WARNING: Handle glass door
panel with care. Do not strike,
slam, or otherwise abuse glass.
Do not operate fireplace with the
glass door removed, cracked, or
broken.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage
glass. Use a nonabrasive household glass cleaner to clean glass.
Do not clean glass when hot.
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During
start-up it is normal for condensation to
form on the inside of the glass causing lint,
dust, and other airborne particles to cling to
the glass surface. During initial start-up a
slight film may form on the glass due to
paint curing. The glass should be cleaned
several times with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water
after the first two weeks of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times
during each heating season, depending on
the usage and circumstances present. Refer
to Removing/Replacing Glass Door on page
22 of this manual when removing glass door
for cleaning.

WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufacturer should
be used when replacing broken
or damaged glass door panel (see
Replacement Parts, page 32). This
glass door panel is a complete
unit. No substitute materials may
be used.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and
safety glasses while handling or
removing broken glass. Do not
remove if glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.
If glass has been broken, carefully remove
glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass
Door, page 22). Vacuum all glass pieces
with a shop vac.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if
pieces are hot.
Use only the ceramic glass door replacement intended for this fireplace (see Replacement Parts, page 32 for detail on ordering). No substitutions may be made. See
Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 22
for instructions for replacing glass door.
WARNING: Do not operate
fireplace with the glass door removed, cracked, or broken.

• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to
Installing Logs, Lava Rock, and Glowing
Embers, page 24, to properly replace logs.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon buildup on logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 32.
• Replace ember material periodically as
needed. See Replacement Parts on page 32.

VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting
system following these guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,
holes). Have these items replaced immediately by a qualified service person.
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flashlight into the vent. Remove any foreign
material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation. Continuous condensation
can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and
fittings and can be caused by having
excessive lateral runs, too many elbows,
or exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or fitting has been disturbed and
loosened. Check mechanical supports
such as wall straps for rigidity.

PILOT AND BURNERS
• Remove ember material before cleaning
burners and replace when cleaning is
complete.
• Burner and controls should be cleaned
with compressed air to remove dust, dirt,
or lint.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled
brush to remove excess dust, dirt, or lint.
