FAN/BLOWER KIT ASSEMBLY 

Fan or blower kit is optional (for circulating models 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 5a) in the lower right hand corner of 
the fireplace face.  Blower is operated by turning the control 
knob (not shown). 
Fan/blower kit electrical connections are made through the 
electrical cover plate on the side of the fireplace as shown in 
figure 5a.   
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS 

i. Remove 

electrical 

cover plate (with electrical 

bushing) from the fireplace by removing the two 
sheet metal screws as shown in figure 5a. 

ii. 

Slide power source wiring through the electrical 
bushing opening and electrical cover plate and make 
all the necessary connections. 

iii. 

Slide all wiring connections in the electrical housing 
as shown in figure 5b. 

iv. 

Secure the electrical cover plate with screws 
previously removed.  

NOTE: Electrical housing and cover plate have sharp edges, 
wear protective gloves. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

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 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.
Never use blown insulation to fill the chimney enclosure.
