Getting Started
Introducing the Quadra-Fire Gas Fireplace
Quadra-Fire direct vent 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 modelsand gascontrol sys-
tems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
Pre-installation Preparation
Thisgas fireplace and itscomponents are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Reportto your dealerany parts damagedin shipment, par-
ticularly the 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
responsibility for, 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 useof any component part notmanu-
facturedand approvedby Hearth &Home Technologies,
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.
•The vent system configuration to be used.
•Gas supply piping.
•Electrical wiring.
•Framingand finishing details.
•Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, 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
fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that
extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

The back of the fireplace may be recessed 21 1/2 inches
(546 mm) into combustible construction.
Constructing the Fireplace Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gasfireplace and/orits vent system. Vertical ventsthat run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to
be, installed inside a chase.
CAUTION: TREATMENT OF FIRESTOPSPACERS AND

TYPE OF BUILDING. THESE INSTRUCTIONSARE NOT
SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL
BUILDINGCODES.THEREFORE,YOURLOCAL BUILD-
ING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.
Factory-builtfireplace chasesshould beconstructed in the
manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air
draftingproblems. The chase should notbreak the 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 becaulked to
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
plywood be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold
up into the room. Be sure to include spark arrestors for
woodburningunits ifthey arerequired.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
This model is approved to use D-series direct vent pipe
components and terminations (see Figures 4 and 5). Ap-
provedvent system componentsare labeledfor 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.There isnorequirement for inspectionopen-
ingsat each jointwithin the wall.There is no required pitch
for horizontalvent runs. NOOTHER VENTINGSYSTEMS
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-
tionships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configura-
tions using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The
rise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawings
andtables.Referto thediagramsonthe next severalpages.
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.
Thismodel hasvent startingcollars on both the top and the
back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide
which ONE set of starting collars will be used to attach the
vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain
on the starting collar NOT used.

B. Installing Vent Components
After determining which set of starting collars will be used
(topor rear), followventing instructions accordingly.
Venting Out the Rear Vent
Remove the installed rear seal cap from the rear starting
collars by cutting the strap at each end. (see Figure 18).
Followthe vent configurationtables accordingly.
Remove the insulation from the REAR five inch flue, pull
the heat shield out from outside of the firebox.
WARNING:THETOPHEATSHIELD(INSIDETHE
FIREBOX) MUST REMAIN ATTACHED IF THE
VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR
STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 18.
Venting Out the Top Vent
Removethe two screwsin the topvent collar sealcap and
remove the top vent collar seal cap and the two pieces of
insulationinsidethetop two startingcollars(SeeFigure18).
Remove the heat shield from inside the TOP five inch flue
fromoutside of the firebox.

If your vertical vent component is over 10 feet, you may
want to install the included vertical baffle to improve flame
appearance.Vertical baffleis located inthe bag containing
theinstruction manual.Center thevertical baffle on the five
inch flue being used, and with self tapping screws secure
the baffle to the inside of the firebox.

1. Attach the First Vent Component to Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars
ofthe fireplace:
• Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5mm) bead of stove cement around
the 5 inch (127mm) fireplace starting collar.
• Make sure that the fiberglass gasket supplied with the
fireplacesealsbetween thefirst8-5/8 inch(219mm)vent
componentand theouter fireplace wrap.
• Lockthe vent components intoplace by slidingthe con-
centricpipe sectionswith four(4) equallyspaced interior
beadsinto the fireplacecollar or previouslyinstalled com-
ponentendwithfour(4)equallyspacedindentedsections.
• When the internal beads of each 8-5/8 inch (219mm)
outer pipe line up, rotate the pipe section clockwise
aboutone-quarter(1/4) turn.Thevent pipeis now locked
together.
• The first 90° elbow installed in the vent system of a
rear venting fireplace MUST BE ina verticalposition.

2. Continue Adding Vent Components
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THIS FIRE-
PLACE REQUIRES THE USE OF A HEAT
SHIELD ABOVE THE FIRST 900ELBOW IN THE
VENTING SYSTEM.
Figure 20.
To Install the Heat Shield:
1. Determine if the heat shield is required. Do so by mea-
suring the vertical distance between the top horizontal
surfaceof the elbow toany combustible surface above.
If the distance is more than 4 inches, the heat shield is
NOT required. If it is 4 inches or less, the heat shield IS
REQUIRED.Installperthefollowingsteps.SeeFigure20.
!
• Continueaddingventcomponents,lockingeachsucceed-
ing component into place.
• Ensurethat each succeedingvent componentis secure-
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the
vent system.
• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
aroundthe precedingcomponent’s verticalaxis. If an el-
bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre-
ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2)
sheet metal screws.

in the part. The shield should be oriented such that the
13 1/8 inch dimension (longest dimension) is running in
thesame directiontheelbowispointing.Theshieldshould
becentered directly abovethe elbow, andpositioned so
that it creates a 1/2 inch airspace between the shield
and the combustible surface. See Figure 21.

For Vertical Runs - The vent system must be supported
everyeight (8)feet (2.4m)above the fireplace flue outletby
wall brackets.
To install support brackets for vertical runs:
• Attach wall brackets to the vent pipe and secure the wall
bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.
Figure 24. Installing Support Brackets
4. Install Firestops
For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both
sidesof a combustible wall throughwhich thevent passes.
NOTE: Model DVK-01TRD does not need an exterior
firestop on an exterior combustible wall.
To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through
either interior or exterior walls:
• Cuta12-inchby 12-inch(305mmX305mm) holethrough
the wall.
NOTE: The center of the hole is one (1) inch (25.4mm)
above the center of the horizontal vent pipe.
• Position the firestops on both sides of the hole previ-
ously cut and secure the firestops with nails or screws.
• The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE placed to-
wards the top of the hole.
• Continuethe vent run through the firestops.

For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at
the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.
Toinstallfirestopsforverticalruns thatpassthroughceilings:
• Positiona plumb bob directly over the centerof the verti-
calvent component.
• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.
• Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.
• Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir-
ing or plumbing runs.
• Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary,
to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.
• Cutan11-inchX11-inch (280mm X280mm)hole through
the ceiling, using the centerpoint previously marked.
• Framethe hole with framing lumberthe samesize as the
