.....
* The Andover (left) and Deerfield (right) faces cover the 2" border.
Combustible materials (sheetrock, framing) may be used up to the
edges of both faces. Non-combustible facing (brick, tile, etc.)
may be applied onto the Andover face to the edge of the doors
to create an arched fireplace look.

VENTING: The DXV-60 uses co-axial vent pipe, 5" ID and 8" OD

GAS PLUMBING: 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 7 3/16" back from the front panel and 1 5/8" above the floor.

ELECTRICAL: Electrical wiring (120 Volts) feeds through the left side panel near the floor. Wiring connects to a 3-prong outlet (included) inside the convection chamber under the firebox.
