Unusually tight construction is defined as construction
where:
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a
confined space or unusually tight construction un-
lessprovisionsareprovidedforadequatecombustion
and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to
insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere
have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating
of one perm (6x10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with
openings gasketed or sealed and
b. weather stripping has been added on openable win-
dows and doors and
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New
materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help
reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk
around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air
in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight
as possible.
c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as
joints around window and door frames, between sole
plates and floors,between wall-ceiling joints, between
wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical,
and gas lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you
must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors, page 6.
While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home
needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning
appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.
If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above,
proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Loca-
tion, page 5.

fuel-burning appliances.
Confined and Unconfined Space
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a
confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating
of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as
aspacewhosevolumeisnotlessthan50cubicfeetper1,000Btuper
hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the
space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation
classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless
passageways or ventilation grills between them.
The information on pages 4 through 6 will help you classify your
space and provide adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough
fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of
unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual
amount of Btu/Hr used.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR

__________________ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
__________________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
60,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Determining if You Have a Confined or
Unconfined Space
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space:Includestheroominwhichyouwillinstallheaterplusanyadjoining
rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual Btu/
Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support. You must
provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).
Length x Width x Height = ___________ cu. ft. (volume of space)
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the ex-
tra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining
room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From
Inside Building, page 6.
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling
height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or open-
ings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Out-
doors, page 6.
2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr
the space can support.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room un-
confined.
__________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space
can support)
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can
support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh
air ventilation.
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 = 51,200 (maximum
Btu/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be
operated is smaller than that defined as an uncon-
fined space or if the building is of unusually tight
construction,provideadequatecombustionandven-
tilation air by one of the methods described in the

WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8" NPT
(National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pres-
sure regulator.
Installation must include equipment shutoff valve, union, and
plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge
hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see Figure 15).
WARNING: A qualified service person must con-
nect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff valve in an accessible
location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting
off the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will
prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe
could result in clogged heater valves.
WARNING: For natural gas, never connect heater
to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is com-
monly known as wellhead gas.
IMPORTANT: For natural gas, check gas line pressure before
connecting heater to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater
than 14 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher, heater
regulator damage could occur.
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant
to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as
showninFigure15.Locatesedimenttrapwhereitiswithinreachfor
cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater.
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A
sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them
from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or
is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.
CAUTION: For propane/LP gas, never connect
heater directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater
requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between the heater and pro-
pane/LP supply.
IMPORTANT: Hold the pressure regulator with wrench when
connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings. Do not over tighten pipe
connection to regulator. The regulator body could be damaged.
For propane/LP gas, the installer must supply an external regulator.
Theexternalregulatorwillreduceincominggaspressure. Youmust

INSPECTING HEATER
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 27 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 28 shows an
incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not
touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to
cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner,
and circulating air passageways of heater clean. In-
spect these areas of heater before each use. Have
heater inspected yearly by a qualified service person.
Heatermayneedmorefrequentcleaningduetoexces-
sivelintfromcarpeting,beddingmaterial,pethair,etc.
ODS/PILOT AND BURNER
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 28
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 14 or 16,
• Use a vacuum cleaner, pressurized air, or small, soft bristled
brush to clean.
depending on your model)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 19 through 21
CLEANING BURNER PILOT AIR INLET
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with
the gas. This provides a clean burning flame. Keep these holes clear
of dust, dirt, and lint. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each heating
season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend that you
clean the unit every three months during operation and have heater
inspected yearly by a qualified service person.
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will have a slight curve,
but flame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Figure 29 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 30 shows an
incorrect burner flame pattern.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 30
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 14 or 16,

WARRANTY INFORMATION
KEEP THIS WARRANTY
Model
Serial No.
Date Purchased
Always specify model and serial numbers when communicating with the factory.
We reserve the right to amend these specifications at any time without notice. The only warranty applicable is our standard written warranty. We
make no other warranty, expressed or implied.
LIMITED WARRANTY
VANGUARD VENT-FREE INFRARED GAS HEATERS
DESA International warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and components for four (4) years from the date of first purchase,
provided that the product has been properly installed, operated and maintained in accordance with all applicable instructions. To make a claim under
this warranty the Bill of Sale or cancelled check must be presented.
This warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser. This warranty covers the cost of part(s) required to restore this heater to proper operating
condition and an allowance for labor when provided by a DESA Authorized Service Center. Warranty part(s) MUST be obtained through authorized
dealers of this product and/or DESA International who will provide original factory replacement parts. Failure to use original factory replacement parts
voids this warranty. The heater MUST be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with all local codes and instructions furnished with the unit.
This warranty does not apply to parts that are not in original condition because of normal wear and tear, or parts that fail or become damaged as a
result of misuse, accidents, lack of proper maintenance or defects caused by improper installation. Travel, diagnostic cost, labor, transportation and
any and all such other costs related to repairing a defective heater will be the responsibility of the owner.
TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE LAW OF THE JURISDICTION THAT GOVERNS THE SALE OF THE PRODUCT; THIS
EXPRESS WARRANTY EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTIES AND LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY AND
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
TO FOUR (4) YEARS ON ALL COMPONENTS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE; AND DESA INTERNATIONAL’S LIABILITY
IS HEREBY LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT AND DESA INTERNATIONAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so
the above limitation on implied warranties, or exclusion or limitation on damages may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
