Valor HeatShift LDK1 Directives D'installation page 3

CSA approved for use with the following Valor Heater Models ONLY:
Optional with 1100J, 1150J, 1400J, 1500J, 1600J, 1700J & 1800J
MANDATORY on all 2200J LX2 Models
Note: This kit must be installed by a qualifi ed
installer, service agency or gas supplier at
the time of the heater installation. These
instructions are to be used in conjunction with
the fi replace main installation instructions.
Application
This convection duct kit redistributes the warm air fl ow
away from the fi replace opening to a more desirable
location using natural convection without use of a fan.
The warm air fl ow may be relocated to a position higher
up the wall, out the sidewalls, or even to an adjacent
room. The result is much cooler wall temperatures
above the fi replace opening for locating televisions,
artwork, etc.
The 1195CFK and 1595CFK Circulating Fan Kit are not
recommended when installing the LDK Duct Kit.
Any kit, LDK1, LDK3 or LDK4 may be used with any of
the model fi replaces listed above.
As a further option, the warm airfl ow may be extracted
away from the duct kit plenum (LDK1 and LDK4 ONLY)
by connecting a 1270RBK Remote Blower Kit to the
duct kit plenum.
This kit is compatible with the "J" series listed fi replaces
only. Earlier version fi replaces will not accept the
addition of this kit.
Note: These instructions are to be used in conjunction
with instructions supplied with the fi replace.
!
Note: All fi replaces listed, except 2200J
models, require the removal of the internal
convection baffl e for this system to function
properly—read instructions carefully.
For some models, the use of this kit will permit lower
mantel clearances to be used—see pages 11–12.
These lower mantel clearances must only be used
when the LDK Duct system is installed and the
internal convection baffl e has been removed .
