OUTSIDE AIR KIT (MODEL AK-6)
The installation of an outside air kit should be performed
during the rough framing of the fireplace due to the nature of
its location. Outside combustion air is accessed through the
mobile home floor (Refer to AK-6 Installation Instructions for
details). In some instances, a wall installation is required (see
Figure 5). Note: An AK-6WAI Air Kit must be ordered when
a sidewall installation is required (see accessories on page 12).
This fireplace is equipped with a barometric damper, which
allows outside air to flow in the fireplace automatically when
needed.
FAN KIT ASSEMBLY (BK3)
A fan kit assembly is preinstalled in this fireplace. Use of
blowers or fans other than manufactured by DESA voids the
warranty. The fan is operated by pressing the rocker switch
located at the lower right hand corner of the fireplace face.
Fan kit electrical connections are made through the electrical
cover plate located on the side of the fireplace as shown in
figure 6a.
FAN KIT WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
i.
Loosen the strain relief by turning the plastic screw
counterclockwise.
ii.
Remove electrical cover plate (with strain relief)
from the fireplace by removing the two sheet metal
screws as shown in figure 6a.
iii.
Slide power source wiring through the strain relief
opening and electrical cover plate and make all the
necessary connections.
iv.
Slide all wiring connections in the electrical housing
as shown in figure 6b.
v.
Secure the electrical cover plate with screws
previously removed.
vi.
Tighten strain relief plastic screw.
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 7).
There are two vent kits available, which have been specially
designed for common installations in manufactured (mobile
homes): MW8K (8’ Vent Kit) and MW9K (9’ Vent Kit). The
contents of these kits are listed under accessories on page 12.
Most chimney systems for manufactured houses require a
standard straight installation as described in this section. If an
uncommon offset installation is required, see page 10.
Important: If the height of the chimney assembly exceeds
requirements for transportation of the home, the chimney
installation may be completed after the home is sited.
Note: the termination must always be installed after the home
is sited.
