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 home to

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.
EFFICIENCY
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 24.
CONDENSATION
Fuel gasses produce water vapor when burned.
Therefore, 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.
CLEANING
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 Fire logs supplied with the
Tribute DV are contained in the 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.

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.
There are unlimited positions for the restriction plate,
one (1) being the lowest and three (3) being the
highest. (Refer to Venting Configuration – Figure 4
for recommended restriction plate positions)
NOTE: These positions are based on lab
results and can have some variance.
VENT PIPE CLEARANCES
All flue vent pipe for the Tribute DV must be installed
with the following clearances to combustibles.
1” - For vertical pipe
1” - Below and along the side of all horizontal pipes.
2” - On top of all horizontal pipes.
VENTING COMPONENTS &CONFIGURATION
The Tribute DV cannot be vented jointly with any
other solid fuel or gas appliance. It must be vented
directly to the outside of the building using a proper
termination as listed in the manual. The only types of
venting pipe approved for use with your Tribute DV
Direct-Vent stove is Simpson Dura-Vent’s GS,
AmeriVent Direct, Selkirk Direct Temp™
EXCELDirect and Secure Vent Direct-Vent Pipe.
The venting configuration is shown in Figure 5 (with
the optional snorkel), and Figure 6 showing the
minimum vent kit. After determining the venting
configuration for your stove, select the vent system
that will accommodate your installation.
CAUTION: ENSURE THERE IS NO WIRING OR
PLUMBING IN THE CHOSEN LOCATION.

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 BUILDINGS 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.
6. 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”).
7. 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 on the lower front of unit 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 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.

Figure 9: Typical Sediment Trap (Required in all
installation)
NFPA Code and Hearthstone require the use of a
dedicated sediment trap just upstream of the unit.
Damage to the valve, or other components due to
the lack of a sediment trap are not covered by
warranty.
GAS CONNECTIONS
The gas supply connection is made to the Tribute
DV’s gas control valve in the middle of the lower rear
of the stove, using a 3/8” male NPT fitting. The
supply line should be ½” diameter, or appropriately
sized to provide a sufficient gas supply to meet the
maximum demand of the unit without undue 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.
Place only the ceramic log set supplied with the unit
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 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. Lift off the cast iron front of the front unit, and
remove the glass assembly. To remove the front,
grasp both sides of the front cast facade, and lift
upward and then outward. 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.
3. Set the two bottom logs in position as shown in
the photo below.
4. Set Rear Log in place as shown in the following
photo.
5. Set the Top Left Log in place, using the locating
recess on the bottom that interlocks with locating
tab on the top of the Bottom Left Log. Place the
Right Log in place as shown in the photo below.
6. Open the bag of Platinum Bright Embers. Fluff up
the pieces and spread them randomly over the
logs and burner. These embers will glow brightly
when the unit is running.
7. Replace the front glass assembly and front cast
façade before relighting the unit.
Note: Place only the Fire log set supplied with
the Tribute DV 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.
