WARNINGS

DANGER: Carbon monoxide

poisoning may lead to death!

This fireplace is a vented product. This

fireplace will not produce any gas leakage

into your home if properly installed. This

fireplace must be properly installed by a

qualified service person. The glass door

must be properly seated and sealed. If this

unit is not properly installed by a qualified

service person with glass door properly

seated and sealed, gas leakage can occur.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs

of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the

flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If

you have these signs, the fireplace may not

have been installed properly. Get fresh air

at once! Have fireplace inspected and ser-

viced by a qualified service person. Some

people are more affected by carbon monox-

ide than others. These include pregnant

women, people with heart or lung disease or

anemia, those under the influence of alcohol,

and those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both

odorless. An odor-making agent is added to

each of these gases. The odor helps you

detect a gas leak. However, the odor added

to these gases 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 fireplace.

REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efficient loca-

tion for your Vanguard direct-vent fireplace.

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 loca-

tions. Read all venting information in this

manual. Be aware of all restrictions and

precautions before deciding the exact loca-

tion for your fireplace.

When deciding the location of your fire-

place, follow these rules:

1. Do not connect this fireplace to a chim-

ney flue serving a separate solid-fuel

burning fireplace or appliance.

2. Due to high temperatures, do not lo-

cate this fireplace in high traffic areas

or near furniture or draperies.

3. Proper clearances must be maintained.

4. If your fireplace is to be installed di-

rectly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any

LOCATION OF VENT

TERMINATION

When locating vent termination, it is impor-

tant 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 mem-

ber. The sides of the fireplace may be posi-

tioned directly against combustible walls.

*Check with local codes or with the current

CAN/CGA B149 [.1 or .2] Installation Codes

for Canada or the USA Installations follow

the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANS

Z223.1, also known as NFPA 54.

These models are approved for use with

Simpson Dura-Vent 6 5/8" direct-vent pipe

components and terminations as well as both

flex and rigid Vanguard vent components.

Your fireplace is approved to be vented either

through the side wall, or vertically using the

following guidelines:

• Only use Vanguard or Simpson Dura-

Vent GS venting components or kits spe-

cifically 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 maxi-

mum 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 co-

ordinate 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 ex-

cessive snow or ice build up may occur.

Be sure to clear vent termination area af-

ter snow falls to prevent accidental block-

age of venting system. When using snow

blowers, do not direct snow towards vent

termination area.

WARNING: Read all instruc-

tions completely and thoroughly

before attempting installation.

Failure to do so could result in

serious injury, property damage

or loss of life. Operation of im-

properly installed and maintained

venting system could result in

serious injury, property damage

or loss of life.

WARNING: Seal all vent con-

nections. Seal only the outer pipe

connections with high temperature

silicone (600°F/316° C). Before join-

ing elbows and pipes, apply a bead

of high temperature silicone seal-

ant (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 installa-

tion. Before installing vent kit, the installer

must read this fireplace manual and vent kit

instructions.

Only a qualified service person should in-

stall venting system. The installer must fol-

low 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

The following actions will void the war-

ranty on your venting system:

• Installation of any damaged venting

component

• Unauthorized modification of the vent-

ing system

VENTING

INSTALLATION

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 ap-

pliance. Each gas appliance must

use a separate vent system. Do

not use common vent systems.

WARNING: Horizontal sec-

tions 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" clear-

ance is required where the termi-

nation penetrates a combustible

wall. Vertical sections of this sys-

tem require a minimum of 1" clear-

ance to combustible materials on

all sides of the pipe.

• Installation of any component part not

manufactured or approved by DESA

International

• Installation other than as instructed by

these instructions

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.

For Horizontal Termination: Select the

amount of vertical rise desired. The horizon-

tal run of venting must have 1/4" rise for

every 12" of run towards the termination.

NOTICE: Treatment of firestops

and construction of the chase may

vary from building type to build-

ing type. These instructions are

not substitutes for the require-

ments 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 im-

portant in cold climates. Minimum clear-

ance 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 in-

structions.

Installing Vent System in a Chase

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built

to enclose venting that runs along the out-

side of a building. A chase is not required for

such venting.

Continued

WARNING: Never run the vent

downward as this may cause ex-

cessive temperatures which

could cause a fire.

You may use one or two 90° elbows in this

vent configuration. See Horizontal Termina-

tion Configurations on pages 10 and 11.

For Vertical Termination: Measure the dis-

tance from the fireplace flue outlet to the

ceiling. Add the ceiling thickness, the verti-

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 re-

quired at each floor level. If an offset is

needed in the attic, additional pipe and el-

bows 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 horizon-

tal run is 20' with 8' vertical rise (see Instal-

lation for Horizontal Termination, page 8).

The maximum vertical run is 30' (see Instal-

lation for Vertical Termination, page 12).

It is very important that the venting system

maintain its balance between the combus-

tion air intake and the flue gas exhaust.

Certain limitations apply to vent configura-

tions and must be strictly followed.

BHDV34NB AND BHDV34PB

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.

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 avail-

able (see page 15). Follow the same in-

stallation procedures used for standard

horizontal terminations. If installing the

snorkel termination below grade (base-

ment 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.

2. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have spe-

cial twist-lock connections. Assemble

the desired combination of pipe and el-

bows 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 fit-

tings. (All connections must be sealed

with high temperature silicone sealant

as specified in the second warning state-

ment 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 sec-

ond warning statement on page 7.

Position the vent cap in the center of

the 7 1/2" or 10" hole on the exterior

wall with the arrow on the vent cap

pointing up. Insure proper clearance of

1" to combustibles is maintained. At-

tach the vent cap with four wood screws

supplied (see Figure 13).

Note

: Re-

place the wood screws with appropri-

ate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete,

or other types of siding.

For vinyl siding use vinyl siding stand-

offs between vent cap and exterior wall.

The vinyl siding standoff prevents ex-

cessive heat from melting the vinyl sid-

ing material. Bolt the vent cap to the

standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic

around outside edge of the standoff in-

stead of the vent cap assembly. Use

4. 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 re-

striction 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 mini-

mum building code requirements de-

scribed 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 fac-

tors may cause poor draft or down-draft-

ing 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 sili-

cone 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 enclo-

sure with standard construction material. Make

sure and meet the minimum allowable clear-

ances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the

required air spaces with insulation.

Cathedral Ceiling Installation

1. Remove shingles or other roof cover-

ing as necessary to cut the rectangular

hole for the support box. Mark the out-

line of the cathedral ceiling support box

on the roof sheathing using the locat-

ing hole as a center point.

2. Cut the hole 1/8" larger than the sup-

port box outline (see Figure 23, page 13).

1. Determine the route your vertical vent-

ing 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 re-

quired clearances (air space) to combus-

tibles 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 hori-

zontal offset limitations. Offsets must

fall within the parameters shown in

Figure 8 on page 6.

2. Set the fireplace in desired location.

Drop a plumb line down from the ceil-

ing 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 ceil-

ing. Mark the center point where the

vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a

small locating hole at this point.

Flat Ceiling Installation

1. Cut a 10" square hole in the ceiling us-

ing the locating hole as a center point.

The opening should be framed to

10"x10" (254mm x 254mm) inside di-

mensions, 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 ceil-

ing 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).

2. 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 state-

ment on page 7. Be sure all pipe and

elbow connections are fully twist-

locked (see Figure 11, page 9).

3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating

hole as a center point. (Cover any ex-

posed 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 combus-

tible materials. Frame the opening as

shown in Figure 12 on page 9.

BLOWER ACCESSORY

IMPORTANT

: For clarity, gas valve assem-

bly and grate/burner assembly are not shown

in Figures 30 through 33, page 17. They will,

however, be in your fireplace when you are

installing the blower. Also for clarity the

firebox is shown with dotted lines.

1. Open lower louver panel or remove for

easier access.

2. Place the blower against the lower rear

wall of firebox outer wrapper with the

exhaust port directed upward. Align the

holes in the top mounting tabs of blower

with holes in wall of wrapper (see Fig-

ure 30, page 17). Using the two screws

provided, mount blower and tighten

screws securely.

Note:

For DA3610TA, make sure the

thermal switch is comfortably under the

back of the firebox as shown in Figure

31, page 17.

3. Be sure to securely attach all wire ter-

minals to terminals on blower motor

(and thermal switch where applicable)

and that the screw retaining the green

ground wire is tight.

4. Remove screws securing the plate con-

taining the ON/OFF switch to the bot-

tom of the firebox and set aside.

5. Place speed control against back of this

plate and push the plastic control shaft

through opening (see Figure 32, page 17).

6. While supporting speed control, secure

control shaft with lock nut by pushing and

turning lock nut with pliers clockwise

until tight against the plate. Place control

knob provided onto shaft (see Figure 32,

page 17).

7. Replace plate containing switches and

tighten screws securely.

NOTICE: If installing blower in an

existing fireplace with gas con-

nections, shut off gas supply and

disconnect heater from gas sup-

ply. Contact a qualified service

person to do this.

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.

FIREPLACE

INSTALLATION

WARNING: A qualified ser-

vice person must install fireplace.

Follow all local codes.

NOTICE: This fireplace is in-

tended 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 through-

out the house. In the event of a

power outage, you can use this

fireplace as a heat source.

Note:

Your fireplace is designed to be used

in zero clearance installations. Wall or fram-

ing 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.

Place the fireplace into position and shim

with noncombustible material if needed.

Nail the side flanges to the framing to secure

the unit in place. There are two floor brack-

ets included with each unit. Use these as an

alternative method of securing the fireplace.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure fireplace is level

before securing. If fireplace is not level it

will not work properly.

Attaching Thermal Switch to

DA3610TA Thermostatically-

Controlled Blower

When installing the DA3610TA thermo-

statically-controlled blower accessory, you

must first secure the thermal switch to the

blower.

1. Remove the two hex head screws on the

blower assembly as shown in Figure 29.

2. Place the green wire between the bot-

tom hole on the thermal switch bracket

and the bottom hole on the blower as-

sembly. Insert one of the hex screws

into all three pieces and tighten.

3. Insert the top screw through the ther-

mal switch bracket and into the blower

assembly. Tighten screw.

4. Connect the blue wire on the blower

assembly to the right side of the ther-

mal switch.

5. Connect the black wire to the left side

of the thermal switch.

age or personal injury.

11. Connect or reconnect gas supply to fire-

place per Connecting Fireplace to Gas

Supply on page 19 of this manual.

8. Plug in blower power cord.

a. If your fireplace system is installed

as a freestanding unit with an ac-

cessory mantel, determine whether

the power cord will exit the left side

or the right side of the firebox. In-

stall one plastic bushing provided

into the 1 1/2" hole in the outer cas-

ing through which the power cord

will exit. Install the second plastic

bushing provided into the floor sup-

port 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 elec-

trical connections for the outlet kit

* The CSA/AGA design-certified equipment shutoff valve may be supplied with the

appliance or you can purchase it from your dealer.

CAUTION: Use only new,

black iron or steel pipe. Inter-

nally-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).

For propane/LP connections only, the in-

staller 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.

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 con-

nector (if allowed by local codes) (not

provided)

* An CSA/AGA design-certified equipment

shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an accept-

able alternative to test gauge connection.

Purchase the CSA/AGA design-certified

equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

WARNING: A qualified ser-

vice person must connect fire-

place to gas supply. Follow all

local codes.

CAUTION: For propane/LP

units, never connect heater di-

rectly 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 pipe joint seal-

ant that is resistant to liquid pe-

troleum (LP) gas.

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 contami-

nants. This keeps them from going into

fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap/drip

INSPECTING

BURNERS

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.

If your pilot assembly does not meet these

requirements:

• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to

Appliance, page 25)

• see Troubleshooting, pages 29 through 31

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or

floating. Flame patterns will be different

from unit to unit and will vary depending on

installation type and weather conditions.

If the vent configuration is installed incor-

rectly, 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

Appliance, page 25)

• see Troubleshooting, pages 29 through 31

spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,

holes). Have these items replaced imme-

diately by a qualified service person.

2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flash-

light into the vent. Remove any foreign

material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive con-

densation. 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 be-

ing exposed to cold weather.

4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sec-

tion or fitting has been disturbed and

loosened. Check mechanical supports

such as wall straps for rigidity.

WARNING: Turn off fireplace

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep con-

trol areas, burners, and circulat-

ing air passageways of fireplace

clean. Inspect these areas of fire-

place before each use. Have fire-

place inspected yearly by a quali-

fied service person. Fireplace may

need more frequent cleaning due

to excessive lint from carpeting,

bedding material, pet hair, etc.

WARNING: Do not use abra-

sive cleaners as this may damage

glass. Use a nonabrasive house-

hold glass cleaner to clean glass.

Do not clean glass when hot.

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.

GLASS DOOR

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, non-

abrasive household cleaner and warm water

after the first two weeks of operation. There-

after, 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.

Use only the ceramic glass door replace-

ment intended for this fireplace (see Re-

placement Parts, page 32 for detail on or-

dering). No substitutions may be made. See

Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 22

for instructions for replacing glass door.

• 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 car-

bon buildup on logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replace-

ment Parts on page 32.

• Replace ember material periodically as

needed. See Replacement Parts on page 32.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if

pieces are hot.
