NOTES FOR PLANNING VENTING:
Venting can originate from the unit through the top or through
the rear. Venting can terminate through the roof or through
an exterior wall.
Refer to Appendix A - Termination Locations to ensure the
planned termination location is acceptable.
Once the termination location has been established, refer
to the appropriate section below for installation details. All
fireplaces shipped from the factory are

Framing Heat Shield
Included with the DV 42 Gas fireplace, is a framing heat shield
kit. This kit is fabricated from galvanized steel and arrives with
three pieces, as shown below. The shields protect all adjacent
combustible materials, mantels and mouldings from excessive
heat radiated by the fireplace.
NOTE: The shields must be installed as shown in

flanges facing the center of the fireplace opening and the shallow
flange toward inside of room. These are also fastened with nails
or screws, flush with framing as shown in
