ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF
DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section consists of a
galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel inner flue
pipe and a wire spacer. The pipe sections must be as-
sembled 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 fire-
place starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing
between the inner and outer pipe sections.
VENTING INSTALLATION
OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT
(MODEL AK4/AK4F)
The installation of an outside air kit should be per-
formed during the rough framing of the fireplace
due to the nature of it's location. Outside combus-
tion air is accessed through a vented crawl space
(AK4F) or through a sidewall (AK4).
CAUTION: Combustion air
inlet ducts shall not terminate
in attic space.

CHIMNEY PIPE
The DESA chimney system consists of 12", 18",
24", 36" and 48" 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). Lineal gain is the
actual measurable length of a part after two or more
parts are connected. For Canada, use chimney parts
designated "HT".
WARNING: The opening in the
collar around the chimney at the
top of the fireplace must not be
obstructed. Never use blown insula-
tion to fill the chimney enclosure.
