Insert Placement
•
Insert must be placed within a code-conforming masonry fireplace or tested and listed zero-clearance
(metal) fireplace. Fix any fireplace damage prior to installation.
•
Because the insert uses a circulation blower, clean the fireplace, smoke shelf, and chimney prior to
installation. We recommend painting the interior surface of the fireplace with latex paint to further
eliminate dust.
•
This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the large amount of heat this appliance
produces when determining a location.
The DVL inserts 15-3/4" into
the fireplace.
Run the power cord to either
side of the insert along the face.
Min. 30-3/8" - Includes 6" for gas line installation
For tight fits (under 24"), you may remove the manifold. See the
section "Removing the Manifold"
Use the leveling bolts for
fireplaces with recessed floors.
Min. 19-1/8"
Run the on/off switch wires to the
right, behind the surround panels.
The gas line and shutoff
valve should be installed
prior to insert placement.
Attach the "This fireplace has been altered..." plate
to the fireplace (use two screws or other suitable
method). You may wish to place it in a location
where it will be covered by the surround panels.
Zero-Clearance (Metal) Fireplace Requirements:
•
The damper ("
A
") and grate (with log set) ("
B
") must be removed (see the illustration below)
•
The smoke shelf ("
C
"), internal baffles ("
D
"), screen ("
E
"),
masonry lining or refractory ("
G
" & "I"), and metal or glass doors
("
F
") may be removed (if applicable)
N O T E :
If any internal baffle is cut, bent, or removed, the
fireplace must be permanently marked to indicate
that it has been altered and is no longer suitable
for burning solid fuel (wood).
•
The insulation ("
H
"), and any structured rigid frame members
(metal sides, floor, door frame, face of the fireplace, etc.) must
not be removed or altered.

Hearth Requirements
•
The heater must be installed on a non-combustible hearth extending a minimum 12" from the fireplace
opening (local codes may require a larger hearth). The hearth must also extend to both sides of the
face (see the table above for the exact width of the face).
