preferably NFI or WETT (Canada) certied, in accordance
with local building codes and current CSA-B149.1 Installation
Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment. If the unit
is being installed in a mobile home, the installation should comply
with the current CAN/CSA Z 240.4 code. For U.S.A. Installations,
follow local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PLEASE
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1. This replace gives off high temperatures and should be located
out of high trafc areas and away from furniture and draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperatures of this replace and should stay away
to avoid burns or ignition of clothing.
3. CAUTION: Due to high glass surface temperature, chil-
dren should be carefully supervised when in the same
room as replace.
Installation & Operating Instructions
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket, per-
manently located, manufactured home, or mobile home
where not prohibited by local codes.
This appliance is only for use with type of gas
indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not con-
vertible for use with other gases, unless a certied kit is
used.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, wood-
burning or oil red appliances, and the products of
combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
and other reproductive harm.
California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the
replace ON.
It is normal for replaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with
your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas replace to give off some
odor the rst time it is burned. This is due to the curing of
the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing
process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open
all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your replace for at least
ten (10) hours the rst time you use it. If the optional fan
kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF”
position during this time.
11. When the replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl
tile, or any combustible material other than wood, it must be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the replace.
12. This replace requires adequate ventilation and combustion
air to operate properly.
13. This replace must not be connected to a chimney ue serving a
separate solid fuel-burning replace.
14. When the replace is not in use, it is recommended the gas
valve be left in the “OFF” position.
WARNING: Check with your electronics manufacturer
before installing a television or other electronic de-
vice above this replace.

formed by a qualied installer, service agency or gas sup-
plier. A professional service person should be contacted to
inspect this replace annually. Make it a practice to have
all of your gas replaces checked annually. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excess lint and dust from
carpeting, bedding material, etc.
6. Control compartments, burners and air passages in this re-
place should be kept clean and free of dust and lint. Make
sure the gas valve and pilot light are turned off before you
attempt to clean this replace.
7. The venting system (chimney) of this replace should be
checked at least once a year, and if needed, your venting
system should be cleaned.
8. Keep the area around your replace clear of combustible
materials, gasoline and other ammable vapor and liquids.
This replace should not be used as a drying rack for cloth-
ing, nor should Christmas stockings or decorations be hung
on or around the replace.
9. Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood, coal,
paper or cardboard, etc.) be used in this replace.
10. The ow of combustion and ventilation air must not be ob-
structed in any way.

Mantels
The height at which a combustible mantel is tted
above the replace is dependent on the depth of the
mantel. This also applies to the distance between the
mantel leg (if so tted) and the replace. For correct
mounting height and width, refer to Fig. 4a and 4b and
the Mantel Chart below.
The tting of a bay window trim kit does not affect the
distances and reference points referred to in the dia-
gram and chart.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at
any height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to nish the mantel, such
paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent dis-
coloration.

A hearth is not mandatory; however, for aesthetic
purposes, we recommend installing a noncombustible
hearth that projects out 12” (305mm) or more from the
front of the replace.
Cold climate installation recommendation:
When installing this unit against a noninsu-
lated exterior wall or chase, it is mandatory
the outer walls be insulated to conform to
applicable insulation codes.
Hearth
Final Finishing
1. Choose the unit location.
2. Place the unit into position and secure it to the oor
with 1¹⁄₂” (38mm) screws or nails. Holes to secure
the unit to the oor are located behind the access
door grille on the left and right sides of the unit.
3. Frame in the replace with a header across the top.
It is important to allow for the nished wall face when
setting the depth of the frame.
4. Drywall (sheetrock) or wood material may be placed
with a zero clearance to the top edges of the appli-
ance when nishing walls above sides of the appli-
ance with glass windows. NOTE: Attach wall nish-
ing to constructed frame, not the appliance.
5. On 360DVSL and 360DVSR, drywall, wood, or wood
molding may be placed with zero clearance to the
rear wall of the unit, along the vertical edge formed
by the standoffs, to intersection of the rear wall, to
the side wall having the small glass window. NOTE:
Attach wall nishing to constructed frame, not
the appliance.
Framing & Finishing
Noncombustible materials such as brick or tile may be
extended over the edges of the face of the appliance.
DO NOT cover any vent or grille panels.
If a Trim Kit is going to be installed on the replace, the
brick or tile will have to be installed ush with the edges
of the appliance.

having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction for installations
above 4,500 feet (1,370 m).
When purging the gas lines, the window
frame assembly must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the vent
end of the replace as well as the bottom. Knockouts
(to allow gas pipe installation and testing any gas con-
nection) are provided on the bottom behind the valve.
It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the
vent end of the valve, as this allows fan installation or
removal without disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with properly
tinned 3/8” copper tubing, 3/8” rigid pipe, or an ap-
proved ex connector. Since some municipalities have
additional local codes, it is always best to consult your
local authority and the CSA-B149.1 installation codes.
For USA installations, consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution. Do not use an
open ame for leak testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured-screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to pro-
vide a 1/8” test point upstream of the control.

black iron pipe so that the gas line can be easily discon-
nected for burner or fan servicing. Refer to the gas
specication for pressure details and ratings.
Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas appli-
ance control from the gas line when pressure test-
ing.
DO NOT subject the replace valve to test
pressures exceeding 1/2 psi.
EB-1 Electrical Junction Box Connection
The replace, when installed, must be
electrically connected and grounded in ac-
cordance with local codes; in the absence
of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code.
For USA installations, follow the local
codes and National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70.
It is strongly suggested the wiring of the
EB-1 Electrical Junction Box be carried out
by a licensed electrician.
Ensure power to the supply line has been
disconnected before commencing with this
procedure.

General Information Assembling Vent Pipes
Canadian Installations:
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 current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54.
Only venting components manufactured by Vermont
Castings Group can be used in Direct Vent systems.
Twist Lock Pipes
When using 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 sliding joints of telescopic vent
sections used in the system.
To join the twist lock pipes together, align the beads
of the male end with the grooves of the female end.
While bringing the pipes together, twist the pipe until the
ange on the female end contacts the external ange
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.
NOTE: For ease of assembly, use a lubricant (Vaseline
or similar substance) on male end of twist lock pipe
prior to assembly.

How to Use the Vent Graph
The vent chart should be read in conjunction with the
following vent installation instructions to determine the
relationship of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of
the vent system.
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 bellow, locate
the point intersecting with slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical
line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the
replace in accordance with same.
Example A:
If vertical dimension from oor of the replace is 11’
(3.4 m), horizontal run to the face of outer wall must
not exceed 14’ (4.3 m).
Example B:
If vertical dimension from oor of the unit is
7’ (2.14 m), horizontal run to the face of outer wall
must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6 m).

Rear Wall Application
When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be
vented directly to a termination located on the rear wall
behind the appliance.
• Specic rear vent starter kits must be used in these
applications (see ‘venting components’). The appli-
ance has been approved for installation at against a
rear wall. (Fig. 17)
• Maximum horizontal distance between the rear of
the appliance and the outside face of the rear wall is
20” (508 mm). (Fig. 17)
• Minimum clearances between any combustible ma-
terial and the vent pipe sections are:
Top ..............................................2” (51 mm)
Sides ...........................................1” (25 mm)
Bottom .........................................1” (25 mm)
Max. 20”
(508mm)
FP1434
Fig. 17 Rear vent application.
Rear Wall Installation
Step 1
Locate and cut vent opening in the rear wall.
Combustible walls: Cut a rectangular hole measuring
10³⁄₈” H x 9³⁄₈” W (265 x 240 mm) through the exterior
wall and frame. Frame in the opening per Figure 18.
Noncombustible walls: Cut a round hole measuring
7¹⁄₂” (190 mm) diameter through the exterior wall and
frame. (Fig. 18)
STEP 2
For combustible walls: Measure wall thickness and cut
zero clearance sleeve parts to proper length.
Max. length is 12” (305 mm). Assemble sleeve
to its maximum opening of 10³⁄₈” x 9³⁄₈” (265 x
240 mm), and attach to restop with #8 sheetmetal
screws (supplied). Install restop assembly. (Fig. 19)
NOTE: Zero clearance sleeve is required only for com-
bustible walls.

STEP 3
Measure the horizontal length requirement for the vent-
ing including a 2” (51 mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow
to the outside wall face plus 2” (51 mm), or the distance
required if installing a second 90˚ elbow. (Fig. 20)
STEP 4
Install the 4” (102 mm) vent to the appliance collar
and secure with three (3) sheetmetal screws. Install
the 7” (178 mm) vent pipe to the appliance collar and
secure with three (3) sheetmetal screws. It is not neces-
sary to seal this connection.
It is critical there be no downward slope
away from the appliance when connecting
the vent or elbow.
STEP 5
Guide vent through the vent hole as you place the appli-
ance in its installed position. Guide the 4”
(102 mm) and 7” (178 mm) collars of the vent termina-
tion into the outer ends of the venting.
Do not force the termination. If the vent pipes do not
align with the termination, remove and realign the vent-
ing at the appliance ue collars.
Attach the termination to the wall as outlined in the
instruction sheet supplied with the termination.
Vertical Sidewall Application
It is very important the venting system maintain its bal-
ance between the combustion air intake and the ue
gas exhaust, certain limitations concerning vent con-
gurations must be strictly adhered to.
• The vent graph (Fig. 16), showing relationship be-
tween vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will
help determine allowable dimensions.
• Minimum clearance between vent pipes and com-
bustible materials is 1” (25 mm) on top, bottom, and
sides, unless otherwise noted.
• When the vent termination exits through foundations
less than 20” (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the
vent pipe must ush up with the siding.
• It is best to locate the replace in such a way that
minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent
length. The horizontal vent run refers to the total
length of vent pipe from the ue collar of the re-
place to the face of the outer wall.
NOTE: When installing the appliance as a rear vent
unit, the 90˚ transition elbow attached directly to the
rear of the unit is not included in the following criteria
and calculations. Unless it is specically mentioned,
this elbow should be ignored when calculating venting
layouts.

Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this
portion of the vent assembly.
• The maximum number of 90˚ elbows per side wall
installation is three (3).
• If a 90˚ elbow is tted directly on top of the replace
ange, the maximum horizontal vent run before the
termination or a vertical rise is 36” (914mm).

• If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run
(level height maintained), the maximum horizontal
vent length is reduced by 36” (914 mm). (Fig. 21)
This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to
increase or redirect a vertical rise.
Example: According to the vent graph (Fig. 16),
the maximum horizontal vent length in a system
with a 7¹⁄₂” (191mm) vertical rise is 20 ft. (6.1m), but
if a 90° is required in the horizontal vent, it must be
reduced to 17 ft. (5.2m).
NOTE: The sum of Dim. A and Dim. B must not be
greater than 17 ft. (5.2m). (Fig. 22)

• The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per
installation is six (6). These elbows can be installed
in either the vertical or horizontal run.
• For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run,
the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by
18” (45 cm). This does not apply if 45° elbows are
installed on the vertical part of the vent system.

Vertical Side Wall Installation
STEP 1
Locate and cut vent opening in the side wall. It may be
necessary to rst position the replace and measure to
obtain the hole location. Depending on whether the wall
is combustible or noncombustible, cut the opening to
size per Figure 24.
Combustible walls: Cut a rectangular hole measuring
9³⁄₈” H x 9³⁄₈” W (240 x 240mm) through the exterior wall
and frame. Frame in the opening per Figure 24.
Noncombustible walls: Cut a round hole measuring
7¹⁄₂” (190 mm) diameter through the exterior wall and
frame. (Fig. 24)
STEP 2
For combustible walls: Measure wall thickness and
cut zero clearance sleeve parts to proper length. Max.
length is 12” (305mm). Assemble the sleeve and attach
it to the restop with #8 sheet metal screws (supplied).
Install the restop assembly. (Fig. 25)
Zero clearance sleeve is required only for
combustible walls.

STEP 4
Apply a bead of silicone to the inner and outer ue
collars of the replace and using appropriate length of
pipe section(s) attach to replace with three (3) screws.
Follow with the installation of the inner and outer elbow,
again secure joints as described in “Connecting Vent
Pipes” section.
STEP 5
Measure the horizontal length requirement including a
2” (51 mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow to the outside
wall face plus 2” (51 mm) (or the distance required if
installing a second 90° elbow. (Fig. 27)
Always install horizontal venting on a level
plane.

STEP 6
Use appropriate length of pipe section—telescopic or
xed—and install. The 20” (508 mm) section of pipe
which goes through the wall is packaged with the
7DVSK starter kit, and can be cut to suit if necessary.
Seal vent pipe and restop gaps with high temperature
sealant to restrict cold air being drawn in around the
replace.
STEP 7
Apply high temperature sealant to 4” (102 mm) and
7” (178 mm) collars, or to the termination 1” (25 mm)
away from the crimped end. Guide 4” and 7” collars of
vent terminations into respective vent pipes. Double
check vent pipes to see that they overlap the collars by

2” (51 mm). Secure termination to the wall with screws
provided, and caulk around the wall plate to weather-
proof.
One alternative to screwing the termination directly to
the wallis the use of expanding plugs or an approved
exterior construction adhesive.
Or, you may attach the termination with screws through
the inner body into the 4” (102 mm) vent pipe; however,
for this method, you must extend the 4” (102mm) pipe
approximately 6” (153 mm) beyond the outer face of the
wall.
Support the horizontal pipes with metal
pipe straps every 36” (914 mm).
Below Grade Installation
When it is not possible to meet required vent terminal
clearances of 12” (305 mm) above grade level, we rec-
ommend using a starter kit. It allows installation depth
down to 7” (178 mm) below grade level. Measure 7”
(178 mm) from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as
it penetrates through the wall.
NOTE: Ensure sidewall venting clearances are ob-
served. If venting system is installed below ground,
we recommend a window well with adequate and
proper drainage.
If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24” (610 mm)
vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal
run with 24” (610 mm) vertical pipe is 36” (914mm).
The measurement is taken from the collar of the
replace (or transition elbow) to the face of exterior
wall. See sidewall vent graph, Page 15, for extended
horizontal runs if the vertical exceeds 24” (610 mm).
1. Establish vent hole through the wall. (Fig. 24)
2. Remove soil to depth of about 16” (406 mm) below
base of snorkel. Install window well (not supplied).
Rell hole with 12” (305 mm) of coarse gravel, leav-
ing a clearance of about 4” (102 mm) below snorkel.
(Fig. 28)
3. Install vent system.
4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent
pipe coming through the wall.
5. Apply high-temperature sealant caulking (supplied)
around 4 in. and 7 in. snorkel collars.
6. Slide snorkel into vent pipes and secure to wall.
7. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4” (102 mm) clear-
ance below snorkel. (Fig. 29)

Do not backll around the snorkel. A clear-
ance of at least 4” (102 mm) must be main-
tained between the snorkel and the soil.
If the foundation is recessed, use recess brackets (not
supplied) for securing lower portion of the snorkel. Fas-
ten brackets to wall rst, then secure to snorkel with self
drilling #8 x 1/2 sheetmetal screws. It will be necessary
to extend vent pipes out as far as protruding wall face.
