2Getting Started
A . Design, Installation & Location Considerations
Warning! Risk of Fire Damaged parts could impair safe
operation.DoNOTinstalldamaged,incomplete orsubstitute
components.
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re
ofcials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and oor protection,
before actually beginning the installation
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, trafc ow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector.
• If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appli-
ance where there will be a clear passage for a factory-
built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.
• Installing an optional outside air kit would affect the loca-
tion of the vent termination.
CAUTION! Ifburning shelledeldcorn, youmustuseap-
provedventingspecicallydesignedforcorntopreventcorro-
sion or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting
manufacturer.
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
• Windows
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang, softs, porch roofs, adjacent walls
• Landscaping, vegetation
When locating vent and venting termination, vent above
roof line when possible.
Marginal Location:
• Below peak
Location NOT recommended:
• Not the highest point of the roof
• Wind loading possible
Multi-level Roofs
Windward
Leeward
Recommended:
Outside Air Intake
on windward side
NOT recommended:
Outside Air Intake
on leeward side
Recommended Location:
• Above peak
Recommended:
• Insulated exterior chase
in cooler climates
Recommended Location:
• Above peak
• Inside heated space
Location NOT recommended:
• Too close to tree
• Below adjacent structure
• Lower roof line
• Avoid outside wall
Marginal Location:
• Wind loading possible
NOTICE: Locating the appliance in a location of
considerable air movement can cause intermittent smoke
spillage from appliance. Do not locate appliance near:
• Frequently open doors
• Central heat outlets or returns
Figure 5.1

Location of the appliance and chimney will affect
performance.
• Install through the warm airspace 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
effects of wind loading.
• Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
• Minimize the use of chimney offsets.
• Consider the appliance location relative to oor and ceiling
and attic joists.
B. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney D. Negative Pressure
WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can
cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot.
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the appliance to operate properly. It can be stron-
gest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
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 effects of negative air pressure:
• Install the 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
C. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances
successfully. When an appliance is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the chimney
system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Downdrafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
CAUTION
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTON DUCT
OR SYSTEM.

F. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox
• The rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory-built
rebox in order to gain minimum insert opening require-
ments.
• Any smoke shelves, shields and bafes may be removed
from a factory-built rebox if attached with mechanical fas-
teners.
• The metal oor of the factory-built rebox may be removed
to facilitate the installation of the insert only when a 1/4
(6mm) inch airspace is provided between the insert and
the oor of outer wrap.
Figure 11.1. Measure and mark the metal
oor for cutting. With a drill, make a starter
hole in each corner.
Figure 11.2. Using a saws-all, cut out the
oor
Figure 11.3. If the oor is made of thin metal,
we recommend using the  x 4 from the insert
packaging to support the insert. The  x 4
may need to be cut to the appropriate size.
Figure 11.4. Place the insert into the fac-
tory-built rebox. Ensure that the power
cord can not be damaged by the sharp metal
edge. You may need to cut out a notch to
accommodate the cord.
The following is only one example as there are many dif-
ferent models of factory-built replaces.
NOTE: Ensure that the leveling leg is posi-
tioned over the  x 4 before leveling the
insert. See page 18, for detailed instructions
on how to adjust the leveling legs.

Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
CAUTION
4Vent Information
A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection B. Venting Termination Requirements
1. Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It
is recommended that at least 60 inches (1.5m) of verti-
cal pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly
through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which
will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting
into the home during a power outage. It will also keep
exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing
people or shrubs to high temperatures. The safest and
preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically
through the roof.
2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1.m) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1.m) horizontally from;
c. Not less than 1 inches (05mm) above.
. Distance from permanently closed windows:
a. Not less than 1 inches (05mm) below, horizontally
from or above.
4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade
should be 1 inches (05mm) minimum. This is con-
ditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade
surface. The grade surface must be a non-combustible
material (i.e., rock, dirt). The grade surface must not be
lawn. Distance between bottom of termination and public
walkway should be 84 inches (.1m) minimum.
5. Distance to combustible materials must be 4 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
• Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl softs.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 1 inches (05mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.
1. Chimney & Connector: Use  or 4 inch (76-10mm)
diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be vented
vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent. If using
the  inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit or the 
to 6 inch (76-15mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter, use Listed
double wall ue connector. A Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit
must be used with manufactured home installations.
. Residential: The  inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter
Kit and the  to 6 inch (76-15mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter
are tested to use 4 gauge single wall ue connector or
Listed double wall ue connector to Class A Listed metal
chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting International
Conference of Building Ofcials (ICBO) standards for solid
fuel appliances.
4. INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at
least  screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with
at least  screws through each joint.
6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever pos-
sible. Sealpipejointswithhightemperaturesilicone(500°F
[260°C] minimum rated only). Do not put silicone inside
of pipe.
NOTE: If burning shelled eld corn, you must use approved
venting specically designed for corn. Follow the instruc-
tions from the venting manufacturer.
Fire Hazard.
• Only LISTED venting components may be
used.
• NO OTHER vent components may be used.
Substitute or damaged vent components may
impair safe operation.
WARNING
Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns if
touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer
to the owner’s information manual provided with this appli-
ance. For assistance or additional information consult a
qualied installer, service agency or your dealer.
WARNING
The chart will help you in determing proper vent-
ing size according to the equivalent feet of pipe
calcuated above and the altitude above sea level
of this installation. Figure 14.2.
Locate the calculated equivalent feet of pipe on
the vertical left side of the chart. Move to the
right horizontally on the chart until you reach your
altitude above sea level.
If you fall below the diagonal line,  or 4 inch (76
to 10mm) pipe may be used. If it is anywhere
above the diagonal line, a 4 inch (10mm) diameter
pipe is required.
The chart reveals that a 90° elbow is 5 times as
restrictive to the ow of exhaust gases under posi-
tive pressure as 1 foot of horizontal pipe, and a
foot of horizontal pipe is twice as restrictive as a
foot of vertical pipe.
D. Pipe Selection Chart
The table below can help you calculate the equivalent feet
of pipe which is a method used to determine pellet vent size.
