General Information Assembling Vent Pipes
Canadian Installations:
To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the
beads of the male end with the grooves of the female
end, then while bringing the pipe together, twist the pipe
until the flange on the female end contacts the external
flange on the male end. It is recommended that you
secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws,
however this is not mandatory with twist lock pipe. (Fig.
11)
Venting system must be installed in accordance with the
current CSA-B149.1 installation code.
USA Installations:
The venting system must conform with local codes and/
or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54.
Only venting components manufactured by CFM Corpo-
ration can be used in Direct Vent systems.
To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest
putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end
of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.
Twist Lock Pipes
Male End
Female End
When using CFM Corporation twist-lock pipe it is not
necessary to use sealant on the joints. The only areas
of the venting system that need to be sealed with high
temperature silicone sealant are the collars on the
fireplace and termination, and the sliding joint of any
telescopic vent section used in the system.

How to Use the Vent Graph
Corner Installation
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal
vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this
dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 12),
locate the point it intersects with the slanted graph
line.
When the DVHVAC36 unit is installed in a corner,
Figure 1, Option B, the vent configuration must fol-
low the Vertical Sidewall Installation Instructions.
Rear Wall Venting Applications
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical
line to the bottom of the graph.
This appliance may be vented directly to a termination
located on the rear wall behind the appliance.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the fire-
place in accordance with same. (Refer to examples
Fig. 12)
NOTE: It is not necessary to seal the vent pipe joints for
any rear vent applications.
• Only CFM Corporation venting components are
approved to be used in these applications. Refer to
“Venting Components” listed for different installation
requirements.
EXAMPLE A:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 11'
(3.4m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall
must not exceed 14' (4.3 m).
• The maximum horizontal distance between the rear
of the appliance and the outside face of the rear wall
is 20” (508 mm). (Fig. 13)
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 7'
(2m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall
must not exceed 8¹⁄₂' (2.6 m).
• Minimum clearances between vent pipe and com-
bustible materials are as follows:

Vertical Sidewall Applications
Measure from fireplace collar face to face of outside
wall (add 2" (51 mm) for vent pipe overlap). Mark pipes
and cut to length. It is very important that the two pipes
are flush with the outside wall once the fireplace is in its
final location. (Fig. 16)
Since it is very important that the vent-
ing system maintain its balance between
the combustion air intake and the flue
gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent
configurations apply and must be strictly
adhered to.
Zero Clearance Sleeve
The graph showing the relationship between vertical
and horizontal side wall venting will help to determine
the various vent lengths allowable. (Fig. 12)
Minimum clearance between vent pipes
and combustible materials is 1" (25 mm)
on top, bottom and sides unless otherwise
noted.

When vent termination exits through foundation less
than 20" (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe
must flush up with the siding. A 7DVSS must also be
used.

It is always best to locate the fireplace in such a way
that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent
length.
Example: According to the vent chart the maximum
horizontal vent length is 20' (6 m) when the vertical
height is 7.5' (2.3 m) from fireplace base height. If
one (1) 90° elbow is required in the horizontal vent, it
must be reduced to 17' (5.2 m).
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent
pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace to the face of
the outer wall.
• The maximum number of elbow degrees in a sys-
tem is 270°. (This does not include transition elbow
from rear vent to vertical vent.) (Fig. 21)
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this
portion of the vent assembly.
For some installations, it may be desirable to have
some amount of the horizontal vent run immediately
after the fireplace. A vertical rise must be used but can
be located anywhere in the vent system, to meet the
parameters identified in the venting graph.
Maximum
3' (914mm)
• The maximum horizontal vent run is 20' (6 m) when
the vertical vent rise is 7¹⁄₂' (2.3 m). (Fig. 18)

Measure wall thickness and cut adjustable zero clear-
ance sleeve parts to proper length (MAXIMUM 12" /
305mm). (Fig. 23) Adjust sleeve to minimum (9³⁄₈" x 9³⁄₈"
/ 240 x 240 mm) and attach to firestop with #8 sheet
metal screws (supplied). Assemble sleeve and attach
to firestop with #8 sheet metal screws (supplied). Install
firestop assembly.
A vent starter kit plus a transition elbow
must be used in Vertical Sidewall Installa-
tions. The 4" pipe must be centered inside
the 7" pipe coming off the transition elbow.
Canadian & USA Installations:
Zero clearance sleeve is only required for
combustible walls.
The venting system must conform with local codes, or

Sealing vent pipe and firestop gaps with
high temperature sealant will restrict cold
air being drawn in around the fireplace.
Re-check the fireplace to make sure that it is levelled,
properly positioned and nailed or screwed to the floor.
If applied, the fireplace's adjustable frame drywall strips
(nailing flanges) should be fastened. Refer to "Framing

Below Grade Installation
When it is not possible to meet the required vent ter-
minal clearances of 12" (305 mm) above grade level, a
snorkel termination, #7TDVSNORK is required. It allows
installation depth of down to 7" (178 mm) below grade
level. The 7" is measured from the center of the hori-
zontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
Ensure sidewall venting clearances are observed.
If venting system is installed below ground,
a window well with adequate and proper
drainage to be installed around the termi-
nation area is recommended.
The maximum horizontal run with 24" (610 mm)
vertical rise is 36" (914 mm) from the back of the
fireplace to the face of the exterior wall. Refer to the
vent graph on Page 12 for extended horizontal run if
the vertical rise exceeds 24" (610 mm).

Troubleshooting the Gas Control System
SIT NOVA 825 Millivolt Valve
NOTE: Before troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off is in the "ON" position.
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1.Spark ignitor will not light
A. Defective or misaligned
electrode at pilot.
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off
pilot and push the red button again. If pilot will not
light - check gap at electrode and pilot-should be
1/8" to have a strong spark.
B. Defective ignitor (Push Button)
Push Piezo Ignitor Button. Check for spark at
electrode and pilot. If no spark to pilot, and elec
trode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after
carefully following lighting
instructions.
A. Defective pilot generator
(thermocouple)
Check pilot flame. Must impinge on thermo-
couple/thermopile. Note: this pilot burner assem
bly utilizes both-a thermocouple and a thermopile.
The thermocouple operates the main valve
operation (On and Off). Clean and or adjust pilot for
maximum flame impingement on thermopile and
thermocouple.
B. Defective automatic valve
Turn valve knob to “Pilot”. Maintain flow to pilot;
millivolt meter should read greater than 10 mV. If
the reading is okay and the pilot does not stay on,
replace the gas valve. Note: An interrupter block
(not supplied) must be used to conduct this test.
3. Pilot burning, no gas to
main burner, Valve knob
"ON", thermostat "ON"
A. Thermostat or wires defective
Check wall switch and wires for proper connections.
B. Thermopile may not be
generating sufficient
millivoltage.
1. Be sure wire connections from thermopile at
gas valve terminals are tight and thermopile is
fully inserted into pilot bracket.
2. One of the wall switch wires may be grounded.
Remove wall switch wires from valve terminals if
pilot now stays lit, trace wall switch wiring for
ground. May be grounded to fireplace or gas
supply.
3. Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take
reading at thermopile terminals of gas valve.
Should read 325 millivolts while holding valve
knob depressed in pilot position and wall switch
“Off”. Replace faulty thermopile if reading is below
specified minimum.
C. Plugged burner orifice.
Check burner orifices for debris and remove.
D. Defective automatic valve
operator.
Turn valve knob to “On”, place wall switch to “On”
millivolt meter should read greater than 100 mV. If
the reading is okay and the burner does not come
on, replace the gas valve.
E. Transformer defective.
F. Power Not ON.
G.heat demand satisfied.
4. Frequent pilot outage
problem.
A. Pilot flame may be too low
or blowing (high) causing the
pilot safety to drop out.
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermopile and thermocouple.
B. Possible blockage of the vent
terminal.
Check the vent terminal for blockage

2. Clean the brass trim using a soft clean cloth, slightly
dampened with lemon oil and buff with a soft clean
cloth. DO NOT use brass polish or household clean-
ers as these products will damage the brass trim.
Lemon oil can be obtained at supermarkets or hard-
ware stores.
• burner tube
• pilot assembly
• millivolt gas valve
• gas orifice
• thermopile
Most of these components may require only an
occasional checkup and cleaning and some may
require adjustment. If repair is necessary, it should
be performed by a qualified technician.
3. Periodically check and clean the air circulating
blower wheel of any debris. Blower motors are
prelubricated for extended bearing life. No further
lubrication is required. WARNING: Disconnect power
before servicing the air circulating blower.
1. Turn off pilot light at gas valve.
2. Allow fireplace to cool if it has been operating.
4. The air filter should be inspected monthly and re-
placed when necessary with a 16" x 16" x 1" filter.
3. Remove window frame assembly. (Refer to Window
Frame Assembly Removal section.)
5. When servicing, check all electrical wiring for loose
connections.
4. Remove logs.
5. Vacuum burner compartment especially around
orifice primary air openings.

icing.
6. Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust
or lint accumulation.
6. Contact your local representative to arrange an an-
nual service program.
7. Reinstall logs.
8. Ignite pilot - Refer to Lighting Instructions.
9. Reinstall window frame assembly.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot
and burner’s flame characteristics are steady, not lifting
or floating.
Typically, the top 3/8” to 1/2” (10mm or 13mm) of the
thermopile should be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Refer
to Page 21, Figure 40)
To adjust pilot burner: (by qualified service technician)
1. Remove pilot adjustment cap
2. Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame.
3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.
