VENTING, ELECTRICAL AND GAS PLUMBING:


The DXV-45 vents using 5" ID x 8" OD coaxial vent pipe. The fireplace may be vented vertically through the roof, or directly through the backwall using a 90 degree elbow and a horizontal termination cap.

The gas inlet access hole is located in the right sidewall as you face the viewing window: centerline of the 1/2" M.P.T. gasline connection is 6-23/32" back from the front panel and 1 5/8" above the floor.

Electrical wiring (115 Volts) feeds through the left side panel near the floor. Wiring connects to a duplex outlet inside the convection chamber under the firebox. The standard blower plugs into this outlet.
