2Getting Started
Introducing the Village Collection Gas
Fireplaces
Quadra-Firedirectvent gas fireplaces are designed to op-
erate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless
notedotherwise, applies to all models and gas control sys-
tems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
Pre-installation Preparation
Thisgas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Reportto your dealer any parts damaged inshipment,par-
ticularlythe condition of the glass. Do not install any unit
with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
The vent system components and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs may be packaged
separately and must be field installed.
Read all of the instructions before starting the instal-
lation. Follow these instructions carefully during the
installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the own-
er’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
The Hearth & Home Technologies Warranty will be voided
by, and Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any
responsibilityfor, the following actions:
• Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system
component.
• Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home
Technologies.
• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
• Installationand/or use ofanycomponent part notmanu-
facturedand approved by Hearth&HomeTechnologies,
not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or
other party approval of such component part or acces-
sory.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to
determine:
•Where the unit is to be installed.
•Thevent system configuration to be used.
•Gas supply piping.
•Electricalwiring.
•Framingandfinishingdetails.
•Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wallswitch, or remote control—are desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on
any combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplaceshould be installed on a metal or wood panel that
extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Constructing the Fireplace Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gasfireplace and/or itsvent system. Vertical ventsthat run
ontheoutside of a building may be, but are not required to
be, installed inside a chase.
CAUTION: TREATMENT OFFIRESTOPSPACERSAND

SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL
BUILDINGCODES. THEREFORE,YOUR LOCALBUILD-
INGCODESMUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE
REQUIREMENTSFOR THESE STEPS.
Factory-builtfireplace chasesshouldbe constructed inthe
manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air
draftingproblems. The chase should notbreakthe outside
buildingenvelope inany manner.
This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantile-
ver floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air
infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per
regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, we
recommend that the inside surfaces be sheetrocked and
taped for maximum air tightness.
Tofurther preventdrafts, the firestopsshould be caulkedto
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked or stuffed with insulation. If the unit is being in-
stalled on a cement slab, we recommend that a layer of
plywoodbeplaced underneath to prevent conducting cold
up into the room.

components and terminations (see Figures 4 and 5).Ap-
provedventsystemcomponents are labeled for identifica-
tion. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved compo-
nent of the fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside an
enclosedwall. Thereis no requirementfor inspectionopen-
ingsateachjoint within the wall. There is no required pitch
forhorizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS
OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each
vent termination kit and should be used in conjunction
with this Installers Guide. The flame and ember appear-
ance may vary based on the type of fuel burned and the
venting configuration used.
Identifying Vent Components
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may in-
clude one, two, or three 90°elbow assemblies. The rela-
tionshipsofverticalrisetohorizontal run in vent configura-
tions using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The
risetorunrelationshipsareshown in the venting drawings
andtables.Refer tothediagramsonthe nextseveralpages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one
90° elbow. Rise to run ratios in the vent system must
be followed if 45° elbows are used.
