A. Design and Installation Considerations
Consideration must be given to:
- Safety
- Convenience
- Tra󰀩c ow
- Chimney and chimney connector required
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and oor protection,
before actually beginning the installation. If you are not
using an existing chimney, place the appliance where there
will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney
through the ceiling and roof.
We recommend that a qualied building inspector and
your insurance company representative review your plans
before and after installation.
If this appliance is in an area where children may be near
it is recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier
to go in front of the appliance. Remember to always keep
children away while it is operating and do not let anyone
operate this appliance unless they are familiar with these
operating instructions.
B. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each oor of your
home to ensure your safety. They should be located away
from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping
areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s
placement and installation instructions, and be sure to
maintain regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A re extinguisher to
contend with small res resulting from burning embers.
3. A CO detector should be installed in the room with
the appliance.
4. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
5. A plan to deal with a chimney re as follows:
In the event of a chimney re:
a. Evacuate the house immediately
b. Notify re department.
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state
and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, re o󰀩cials
or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions,
installation inspection, and permits.
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of
the appliance system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Down drafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
• Over drafting caused by excessive chimney heights
• Ideal performance is with height of chimney between
14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of
the appliance.
Asphyxiation Risk.
• Do NOT connect this appliance to a
chimney ue servicing another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distribution
duct or system.
May allow ue gases to enter the house.

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available
for the appliance to operate properly. It can be strongest in
lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water
appliances and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks such as:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
To minimize the e󰀨ects of negative air pressure:
• Install optional outside air kit with the intake facing
prevailing winds during the heating season
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and
seams taped or sealed
• Basement installations should be avoided

A. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will a󰀨ect
performance. As shown in Figure 4.1 the chimney should:
• Install through the warm space enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die down of the re.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the
a󰀨ects of wind turbulence and down drafts.
• Consider the appliance location in order to avoid oor
and ceiling attic joists and rafters.
• Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and
can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will
easily correct your ue problem.

G. Masonry Chimney
• Must have at least 16mm re clay lining joined with refractory cement.
NOTE: Installations into a clay ue without a stainless steel liner may reduce draw which a󰀨ects performance, will cause
the glass to darken and produce excessive creosote and create start-up issues.
NOTE: Masonry chimneys are signicantly less than ideal for venting solid fuel appliances. A masonry chimney is not
subject to any temperature limit test, therefore a full reline is required to meet AS/NZS 2918.
• The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular block, must be a minimum of 102mm nominal thickness.
• A chimney of rubble stone must be at least 305mm thick.
• Must be lined with a 152mm stainless steel ue liner to improve performance and reduce creosote build-up.
• An equivalent liner must be a listed chimney liner system or other approved material.
• No dilution air is allowed to enter the chimney.
- Secure the replace damper in the open position. If this cannot be accomplished, it will be necessary to remove the
damper
- Seal damper area of chimney around chimney connector with a high temperature sealant or seal insert against the
face of the replace.
- Both methods must be removable and replaceable for cleaning and re-installation.
• When possible, install an airtight clean-out door to the rear of the smoke shelf.

K. Altering the Fireplace
The following modications of factory-built replaces
are permissible:
H. Install into a Masonry Fireplace
The insert must be installed as per the requirements of
your local inspection authority. It is recommended to use
a full liner as it is the safest installation and provides the
most optimum performance. Your retailer should be able
to help you decide which system would be the best for
your application.
The use of this connection method not only increases the
safety of your insert by directing the hot gases up the ue,
but will also help increase the unit’s e󰀩ciency and decrease
creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected ue or liner is in use, the insert is able
to “breathe” better by allowing a greater draft to be created.
This great draft can decrease problems such as di󰀩cult
start-ups, smoking out the door and dirty glass.
I. Install Into a Factory Built Fireplace
1. When installed in a factory built replace, a full stainless
steel rigid is mandatory, for both safety and performance
purposes. When a ue or liner is in use, the insert is able
to breathe better by allowing a great draft to be created.
The great draft can decrease problems such as di󰀩cult
start-ups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
2. In order to position the ue liner, the existing rain cap
must be removed from your chimney system. In most
cases the ue damper should also be removed to allow
passage of the liner.
3. In most cases opening the existing spark screens fully
should give enough room for the insert installation. If it
does not, remove and store.
4. If the oor of your replace is below the level of the
replace opening, adjust the inserts leveling bolts to
accommodate the di󰀨erence. When additional shimming
is required, use non-combustible masonry or steel shims.
5. Measure approximately the alignment of the ue liner
with the position of the smoke outlet hole on the insert
to check for possible o󰀨set. If an o󰀨set is required,
use a proper stainless steel unit available with the
chimney liner.
6. Once the above items have been checked, slide your
insert into position after rst positioning the ue liner and
o󰀨set if required. (Re-install rain-cap at completion of
installation).
J. Securing Chimney Components
All joints should be secured with 3 sheet metal screws or
rivets per pipe manufacturers instructions. The sections
must be attached to the insert and to each other with the
crimped (male) end pointing toward the insert (Figure 4.5).

WARNING
!
• The replace must not be altered. Cutting any sheet
metal parts of the replace in which the replace insert is
to be installed is prohibited per ANSI Z21.88 except that
the damper may be removed to accommodate a direct-
connect starter pipe or chimney liner,
• External trim pieces which do not a󰀨ect the operation
of the replace may be removed providing they can be
stored on or within the replace for reassembly if the
insert is removed.
• The permanent metal warning label provided in the
component pack must be attached to the back of the
replace, with screws or nails, stating that the replace
may have been altered to accommodate the insert,
and must be returned to original condition for use as a
conventional replace.
• If the hearth extension is lower than the replace opening,
the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must
be supported.
• Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit can be
ordered from your dealer.
• Final approval of this installation type is contingent upon
the authority having jurisdiction.

N. Chimney Height / Rise and Run
To be sure that your Quadra-Fire insert burns properly, the
chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately
-2.54mm water column (W.C.) during a high burn and
-1.016mm W.C. during a low burn, measured 152mm above
the top of the insert after one hour of operation at each burn
setting.
L. Zero-Clearance Fireplace
A permit may be required for installations, nal approval is
contingent of the authority having local jurisdiction. Consult
insurance carrier, local building, re o󰀩cials or authorities
having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection,
and permits.
Inspect the existing replace and chimney for any damage
or aws such as burnouts, metal or refectory warping.
Inspection to a minimum of NFPA 211 Level II is
recommended. All repairs must be made prior to installing
an insert. The replace must be structurally sound and be
able to support the weight of the solid-fuel insert
The factory-built chimney must be listed per UL 127 or ULC
610-M87 for all installations. Install thermal protection per
this appliance listing requirements.
A full height 6 inch diameter stainless steel full height listed
chimney liner must be installed meeting type HT (2100°F)
requirements per UL 1777 (USA) or ULC S635 with “0”
clearance to masonry (Canada). The full liner must be
attached to the insert ue collar and to the top of the existing
chimney.
The ue liner top support attachment must not reduce the air
ow for the existing air-cooled chimney system. Re-install
original factory-built chimney cap only (See Prefabricated
Metal Chimney on page 14).
To prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the
replace, seal either the damper area around the chimney
liner or the insert surround. Circulating air chamber (i.e. in a
steel replace liner or metal hearth circulatory) may not be
blocked. The air ow within and around the replace shall
not be altered, blocked by the installation of the insert. (i.e.
no louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports may be blocked
by the insert or the insert surround.
See Altering the Fireplace on page 15 for modications
allowed for factory-built replaces.
NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary
somewhat for individual installations.
• This product was designed for and tested on a 152mm
chimney, 4.27-4.87m high, (includes appliance height)
measured from the base of the appliance.
• The further your stack height or diameter varies from this
conguration, the possibility of performance problems
exists.
• Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per
each 304.8m above sea level.
• It is not recommended to use o󰀨sets or elbows at
altitudes above 1219.2m above sea level or when there
are other factors that a󰀨ect ue draft.
Risk of Asphyxiation!
• Do NOT connect this appliance to a chimney ue
servicing another appliance or to any air distribution
duct or system.
This may allow ue gases to enter the house.
WARNING
!
M. Ovalizing Round Stainless Steel Liners
Ovalizing round stainless steel liners to accommodate the
liner passing through the damper region of a replace is an
allowable and acceptable practice.
Ensure that the ovalization is minimized to the extent
required to t through the damper.
Fire Risk.
Do NOT pack insulation or other
combustibles between spacers.
• ALWAYS maintain specied clearances
around venting and spacers.
• Install spacers as specied.
Failure to keep insulation or other material
away from vent pipe may cause re.
WARNING
!
Fire Risk.
This appliance relies upon natural draft to
operate properly.
• Chimney heights exceeding 7.62m from
base of appliance may create an over-
draft situation.
• Overdraft condition may create over ring.
Over ring may ignite creosote and/or
damage appliance and chimney
