INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of
HearthStone’s Tribute DV Model 8050 Gas-
Fired Direct Vent heater. The Tribute DV
incorporates the latest in balanced vent gas
technology, which will provide you with clean,
efficient heat for years to come. Combustion
air comes directly from the outside of your

OWNER’S INFORMATION
The installation must conform with local
codes or, in the absences of local codes, the
current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
(NFPA 54) or CAN/CSA B149 Installation
Code. (Installer l’appareil selon les codes ou
règlements locaux, ou, en l’absence de tels
règlements, selon les Codes d’installation
CAN/CSA-B149.)
DAILY OPERATION
The Tribute DV is easily operated by the
homeowner once installed and adjusted by
qualified service personnel. The unit can be
controlled via the wall-mounted thermostat
during the heating season. Set the thermostat
to the desired room temperature and the unit
will cycle on and off as required. By
adjusting the variable output control located
on the gas control valve, the rate of heat
output can be varied to meet the heating
requirements of the season. Choosing a low
flame setting will result in longer burn
cycles at a reduced output, while choosing a
high flame setting will result in a shorter,
hotter burn cycle. Through trial and error,
the homeowner can select the optimum
flame size for their setting and application.
During the summer non-heating season,
switch the wall thermostat to “OFF”, and
turn off the pilot. This will improve the
overall efficiency of the unit as the heat
from the pilot is wasted. When putting the
unit back into service, follow the lighting
instructions described on page 21.
When the unit is first lit, especially when
cool, it is normal to experience some
condensation on the inside of the window
glass. This condensation will burn off within
the first few minutes of operation. If
continuous condensation on the window
glass or dripping water from any part of the
unit or venting system (chimney) is noted,
immediately discontinue operation of the
unit and contact qualified service personnel.
Clean the area around, under, and behind the
unit on a regular basis to prevent the
accumulation of dust and lint.
The Tribute DV requires minimal routine
maintenance and care. It should always be
cool and off when being cleaned, or
serviced. Once a year, the unit, and venting
system should be inspected by qualified
service personnel to insure that they are
clean, free of obstruction, safe, and in good
working order. If service or maintenance is
required, qualified service personnel should
perform it.
SERVICE CAUTION
If you believe your Tribute DV is not, in any
way, performing properly, immediately
discontinue operation until the unit has been
inspected and approved by qualified service
personnel. Prior to servicing the unit, turn
the valve control knob clockwise to “OFF”.
The unit should be cool prior to servicing
and cleaning. Use of any components not
supplied by HearthStone on the stove voids
all warranties. Do not substitute
components.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Unpack and Inspect for Damage
The Tribute DV is packaged by the
manufacturer to withstand shipment without
damage. However, damage can still occur
during transit; so take care to inspect for
damage when unpacking and installing the
unit. If any damage, or missing parts are
detected, immediately contact your dealer.
Do not install, or put into service, a
damaged or incomplete heater.
Inspect the Tribute DV for visible or
concealed damage. The unit should appear
to be square and true. The sheet metal parts
should be smooth and free of bends and
dents. The enameled cast iron should be free
of chips or cracks. If visible or concealed
damage is found or suspected, contact your
dealer for instructions.
With the accessory box removed and set
aside, take care not to mar or chip the
enameled legs, if applicable. Have someone
help lift the stove out of the shipping box
and set it into place.
The TEK Burner and TEK Firelogs supplied
with the Tribute DV are contained in the

HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc. Tribute DV Model #8050

accessory box. Always use great care when
handling the decorative fire logs, as they are
fragile and subject to damage and breakage
if handled roughly. If a broken log is
encountered, contact your dealer for
replacement logs. Otherwise, set the logs
aside until called for during the installation.
INSTALLING THE TRIBUTE DV
HEARTH REQUIREMENT/FLOOR
PROTECTION
The Tribute DV may be placed on a
noncombustible surface or wood floor.
Installations must meet local codes.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
Due to high surface temperatures, the unit
should be located out of traffic and away
from furniture and draperies. Clothing and
other flammable material should not be
placed on or near the heater. When
positioning the unit always maintain
adequate clearances around air openings into
the combustion chamber and allow for
adequate ventilation. Minimum clearances
to combustibles must be maintained as
shown in the illustrations of the Clearances
To Combustibles section.
Caution:
These clearances represent minimum
distances in all cases, which, through
testing in an independent laboratory to
ANSI and CSA standards, will prevent
fire or spontaneous combustion. We do
not control the combustible materials
exposed to heat by this product;
therefore, an assessment must be made by
the installer to prevent consequential
damage of walls and flooring.

VENTING INFORMATION
VENT CONNECTION
1. The Tribute DV Direct Vent is
approved for installation only with
the vent connecting components
listed; Simpson Dura-Vent Direct
Vent GS, AmeriVent Direct, Selkirk
Direct Temp™ EXCELDirect or
Secure Vent systems.
2. Install the vent system according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
RESTRICTION PLATE
There is a vent restriction plate that adjusts
the flow rate of exhaust gases. This insures
proper flames and efficiency for the wide
variety of vent configurations. Controlling
the draft also changes the aesthetics of the
flame. The restriction plate consists of a
rotating shutter behind the starter section of
pipe and an adjustment plate with an index
hole used to hold the shutter in a fixed
position. The restriction plate has unlimited
settings. Depending on the vent
configuration, you may be required to adjust
the restriction plate position. For straight
out the back installations no adjustment
to the restrictor is necessary.
ADJUSTMENT TO RESTRICTION
PLATE
Make sure the unit is cool before touching
any part of the firebox. To adjust your
restrictor for maximum flame appearance,
loosen the Phillips head screw, found on the
upper rear right side of the stove. Spin the
indicator tab into the desired position.
Rotating counterclockwise closes the
exhaust gasses, while rotating clockwise
opens the exhaust gases. Once the desired
restriction is reached, tighten the
screw.(Refer to figure 4) There are
unlimited positions for the restriction plate,
one (1) being the lowest and three (3) being
the highest. (Refer to Venting
Configuration – Figure 5 for recommended
restriction plate positions)
NOTE: These positions are based on lab
results and can have some variance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE STANDARD HORIZONTAL
TERMINATION MINIMUM
VENTING KIT
1. Install the straight over the outer
collar.
2. Move the stove and pipe assembly
back until the straight is flush to the
wall. Pull up on the pipe to ensure
that there is a ¼” per foot rise
coming out of the stove.
3. Draw a circle around the pipe. Use
the center of this circle as the center
point of the 10” x 10” square wall
pass through. Cut and frame the wall
pass through.
4. Place the interior wall thimble into
the 10” x 10” wall pass through.
Secure it with 4 screws (not
provided). Install the exterior portion
of the thimble in similar fashion,
overlapping the 2 sections.
•Caution: For building with vinyl siding,
a vinyl siding standoff should be
installed between the vent cap and the
exterior wall.
5. Install the horizontal vent
termination on the outside of the
wall. Make sure both of the retaining
straps extend through interior wall
thimble. Before attaching the vent
termination to the outside of the
house, run a bead of non-hardening
mastic around its’ outside edges, so
as to make a seal between it and the
wall. The arrow on the end cap
should point up. Secure the cap to
the wall with the appropriate screws.
7. Move the stove and vent pipe into
position. Make sure the vent pipe
extends into the horizontal vent cap a
minimum of 1-1/4”).
8. Secure the vent using the straps from
the horizontal vent termination to the
interior pipe with 2 sheet metal
screws, keeping the screws close to
the wall thimble as possible. Bend or
cut the excess strapping, so that it is
not visible after the installation is
complete.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
NOTE: OPEN VALVE DOOR IN THE LOWER FRONT FOR ELECTRICAL AND GAS
CONNECTIONS.
THERMOSTAT
The ON/OFF/T’stat switch or wall mounted
thermostat controls the Tribute DV. We
recommend installation of the thermostat for
more comfortable performance, however
you may still override the thermostat by
setting the switch to “ON”. The thermostat
controls the unit by “calling for heat.” The
thermostat turns the unit on when the room
is cold, and turns the unit off once the room
is warmed sufficiently. The thermostat is
controlled by a 750 millivolt DC two-wire
circuit.
REMOTE CONTROL
There are two different optional remote
controls available for the Tribute DV. Both
of the remote controls are capable of turning

HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc. Tribute DV Model #8050
15
the unit on and off. One of the optional
remotes also allows you to control the
temperature of the stove, (in the same way
the thermostat controls the heater), from
anywhere in the vicinity of the unit. If “ON”
& “OFF” are the only controls required, Kit
#90-56912 can be used. If you would like to
control the temperature via the remote
control, use Kit #90-56914. Installation
instructions are provided with the kits.
THERMOSTAT PLACEMENT
The thermostat should be placed in the same
room or living space as the unit. Typically
5’ (1.5m) off the floor and away from any
influences that may cause the temperature in
the vicinity of the thermostat to be
unrepresentative of the room temperature in
general. Such influences might include
strong lighting, a heater vent from the
central heating system, or a nearby drafty
window.
Placement of the thermostat on an inside
wall rather than an outside wall is
preferable. Do not place the thermostat
directly behind or too close to the unit,
otherwise heat from the unit will
immediately satisfy the thermostat and turn
the unit off.
THERMOSTAT WIRING
The thermostat should be connected to the
Tribute DV using no more than 40’ (12 m)
of the provided insulated thermostat wire.
The thermostat wire from the Tribute DV to
the thermostat can be surface mounted or
routed under the floor, through walls, etc.
Be sure to leave a small coil of additional
thermostat wire behind the Tribute DV so
that the unit can be moved out of position
for servicing and cleaning.
Connect one of the thermostat wires to the
gas control marked TH and the other to the
yellow wire coming from the on/off T’stat
switch. When making these connections,
position the thermostat wire so that it
extends towards the wall behind the Tribute
DV, then towards the thermostat.
At the thermostat, the wires should be
connected to the two connection screws on
the back of the thermostat per the
instructions received with the thermostat.
Take care not to over-tighten the connection
screws and not to damage the internal parts
of the thermostat.

loss of pressure. We recommend a flexible
line to avoid undue mechanical load on the
valve and to ease thread alignment, but refer
to local codes.
CAUTION: Check Gas Type!
GAS SUPPLY
This appliance and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psig. The Tribute DV must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or greater than ½ psig.
GAS PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN
MUST PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE!
Once connected to the gas supply, the
supply line and manifold gas pressures must
be tested. The supply line pressure is tested,
to insure it meets the minimum gas supply
pressure as listed in the Specifications for
the type of fuel in use (natural gas or LP), by
connecting a manometer to the supply line
and adjusting the incoming pressure if
necessary to meet the required supply line
pressure as listed in specifications. The
manifold pressure tap on the gas control
valve, refer to Figure 8 for location.
LOG PLACEMENT
CAUTION: Fragile! Handle log set with
care. Always wear gloves and safety goggles
while handling the log set.
Only the decorative ceramic log set supplied
with the unit should be placed in the firebox.
Do not place any other ceramic logs, wood
logs, or other materials in the firebox. If the
log set is damaged or broken contact your
dealer for replacement. The decorative
ceramic log set will last a long time,
however, they will break if subjected to
rough or improper handling. Exact
positioning of the log set is required in order
to obtain a pleasing flame pattern and
efficient combustion. Incorrect log
placement may cause carbon build-up;
excess thermal stress on the log set and
stove parts, reduced efficiency, and high
levels of carbon monoxide. If the log set
does not set into the firebox exactly as
outlined, contact your dealer for assistance.
INSTALLATION OF THE LOG SET
(Refer to the following images in this section
for log set assembly)
1. Open the doors on the front of the
unit, and remove the front cast and
glass assembly. To remove the front,
grasp both sides of the front cast
facade, and lift upward and then
outward. The whole piece is easily
removed. Set the front aside taking
care not to chip or scratch the
enamel. Next, locate the two
rotating clips above the glass. Rotate
the clips out of the “locked” position
and tilt the top of the glass outward.
Lift the entire glass assembly up and
out.
2. Remove the packaging material
around the log set assembly. Be
careful not to damage the log set
when unpacking.

Note: Only the Firelog set supplied with the
Tribute DV should be placed in the firebox.
Do not place any other logs, wood logs, or
other materials in the firebox. If the log set
is damaged or broken contact your dealer for
replacement. It must be replaced with the
same approved replacement parts. These
components affect the combustion quality
and safety of the heater. The Firelog set will
last a long time, however, they will break if
subjected to rough or improper handling.
Exact positioning of the log set is required in
order to obtain a pleasing flame pattern and
efficient combustion. Incorrect log
placement may cause carbon build-up;
excess thermal stress on the log set and
stove parts, reduced efficiency, and high
levels of carbon monoxide. If the log set
does not set into the firebox exactly as
outlined, contact your dealer for assistance.

REMOVAL OF LOG SET
CAUTION: The Firelog set retains heat and
can be very hot! Allow 2 to 3 hours after
pilot light is turned off before handling.
To remove the Firelog set, follow the
Installation of Log Set instructions in the
reverse order.
LIGHTING THE UNIT FOR
THE FIRST TIME
WARNING: If you do not follow these
instructions exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION: Lighting the Tribute DV
for the first time and adjustments to the
unit should be performed by qualified
service personnel.
This appliance is only for use with the
type(s) of gas indicated on the rating plate.
This appliance is not convertible for use
with other gases, unless a certified kit is
used.
(Cet appareil doit être utilisé uniquement
avec les types de gas indiqués sur la plaque
signalétique. Ne pas l’utiliser avec d’autres
gas sauf si un kit de conversion certifié est
installé.)
SMOKE AND FUMES WARNING
When lit for the first time, the Tribute DV
will emit some smoke and fumes. This is
normal “off-gassing” of the paints and oils
used in the manufacturing and assembly of
the unit. Open windows to vent the room if
necessary. The off gassing and fumes will
subside after the first 10 to 20 minutes of
operation.
ODORS AND IMPURITIES
A heater of this type may produce odors
during heater operation due to impurities
that may exist in the immediate area.
Sources of impurities can be cleaning
solvents, paint solvents, cigarettes, candles,
smoke, pet hair, dust, adhesives, new carpet,
and/or textiles. Such odors will dissipate.
However, opening a window or otherwise
providing additional ventilation to the area
can alleviate the condition. If any odor
persists, contact your dealer or an authorized
service technician.
PILOT LIGHT WARNING
The Tribute DV has a piezoelectric spark
igniter (the red push button located next to
the gas control valve behind the valve access
door), which ignites the pilot light by means
of a spark at the pilot light assembly. Do not
attempt to light the unit with a match or by
any means other than the piezoelectric
spark.
DO NOT LIGHT PILOT OR TEK
BURNER BY HAND
The standing pilot light on this gas heater is
lit by using a piezoelectric spark generator
as described elsewhere in this manual.
Never attempt to light the pilot or main
burner by hand with a match or lighter. If,
after repeated attempts, the pilot light fails to
light, discontinue operation; turn off the gas
at the gas control valve, and immediately
contact qualified service personnel for
assistance.
PREPARE FOR LIGHTING
Prepare for the lighting procedure by
adjusting the thermostat (if equipped) to its
lowest setting or OFF position. If the gas
control knob is not in the OFF position, turn
the knob fully clockwise to OFF. Locate the
variable output control knob and turn it fully
clockwise to the highest setting.
