Exact fuel and ignition selection
The DVCC42BP family is a sealed direct-vent gas fireplace that draws combustion air from outdoors and discharges exhaust outdoors. Select the exact natural-gas or propane variant and millivolt or intermittent-pilot control package. Fuel conversion requires the certified kit for the exact size and ignition system; the parts are not interchangeable merely because the fireplace sizes look similar.
Model-specific dimensions
| Face width, excluding nailing flanges | 43-7/16 inches |
|---|---|
| Face height, excluding standoffs | 40-1/4 inches |
| Maximum appliance depth | 17-1/2 inches |
| Viewing area width × height | 36-1/2 × 26-3/8 inches |
| Interior depth | 11-1/2 inches |
| Direct-vent pipe | 4-inch exhaust / 6-5/8-inch intake |
Face dimensions are not framing-opening dimensions. Use the manual’s model-specific framing table, noncombustible-board detail and finished-wall allowance before construction. The minimum chase height above the framing edge is 24 inches. The adjacent sidewall must be at least 6 inches from the fireplace; mantel projections follow the separate mantel chart.
Venting and installation
A complete approved direct-vent system is required. Select its termination and components for the actual route and wall thickness. The manual lists DVVK-4TSP for 4-1/2 to 6-inch walls, DVVK-4TP for 8 to 12-inch walls, DVVK-4VP for vertical venting and DVVK-4F for horizontal flex; the specified SD46DVA-FCFX7 adaptor is required with the flex kits. These are route choices, not a requirement to buy every kit.
Horizontal vent requires 3 inches clearance above and 2 inches at the sides and bottom. Keep air openings clear and use noncombustible material over the black fireplace face as directed. The supplied glass barrier must remain installed. This appliance is not for solid fuel.
Media and optional equipment
Complete the burner interior using only the model-approved log or rock assembly and decorative media, installed according to their exact accessory instructions. Do not infer media quantities from another fireplace size or from a generic option title. The manual lists DG1BKP, DG1BUC and DG1CLF crushed-glass options. The FBB10 variable-speed blower and LK6 120-volt lighting kit are optional.
Remote and thermostat selection depends on the ignition package. The manual identifies RVKN-1 for natural-gas intermittent-pilot models and RVKP-1 for propane intermittent-pilot models. Use the exact listed conversion and control kits; do not substitute a similar part.
Manufacturer documentation and maintenance
DVCC32/36/42 installation instructions, 41360-3-1024 provide fuel ratings, dimensions, venting tables, wiring, media installation and inspection requirements. Retain the separate homeowner instructions for the selected ignition system. Have the appliance and venting inspected annually. Installation must follow manufacturer documentation and applicable codes.
