A . Design, Installation & Location Considerations
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 o󰀩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. Location of the
appliance and chimney will a󰀨ect performance.
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, tra󰀩c ow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and
to minimize the use of chimney o󰀨sets.
• Place the appliance where there will be a clear passage
for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and roof
(vertical) or through exterior wall (horizontal).
• Installing the required outside air kit will a󰀨ect the
location of the vent termination.
When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal
location is to vent above roof line when possible. This
minimizes the a󰀨ects of wind loading.
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
• Windows
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang, so󰀩ts, porch roofs, adjacent walls
• Landscaping, vegetation
• Horizontal or vertical vent termination
2. Floor Support
The supporting oor under the appliance must be able to
handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight
of the chimney.
Ensure that your oor will support these weights prior to
installation. Add su󰀩cient additional support to meet this
weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the
appliance is 214 lbs.
CAUTION
If burning shelled eld corn, you must use approved
venting specically designed for corn to prevent corrosion
or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting
manufacturer.

Thermal Resistance: R value
The R value is a measure of a material’s resistance to heat
transfer.
R value is convenient when more than one material is used
since you can add the R values together, whereas you can
not do this for k value.
The HIGHER the R factor means less heat is being
conducted through the non-combustible material to the
combustible material beneath it.
The R value of a material must be equal or larger then the
required R value to be acceptable.
NOTE: A Quadra-Fire oor protector (Part 811-0730) is
available through your dealer to be used as a oor
protector for the section under the insert body
only. Floor protection to front and sides of insert
appliance must be supplied in addition to this part.
E. Floor Protection
1. Zero Clearance Installations*
It is necessary to install a oor protection of non-
combustible material with a R value of 3.0 (1 inch
[25mm] minimum thickness with a “k” value of 0.58)
or a 1 inch (25mm) air space between insert base and
hearth.
2. Non-Zero Clearance Installations*
A non-combustible oor protector is required with a
minimum R value of 3.0 (1 inch [25mm] minimum
thickness with a “k” value of 0.58) extending 6 inches
(153mm) in front of the insert and 8 inches (203mm) to
each side of the door opening.

NOTICE:
Do NOT Terminate Vent:
• In any location that will allow ue gases or soot from
entering or staining the building
• In any location which could create a nuisance or
hazard
• In any enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as a
carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a sun deck or
porch, narrow walkway
• Closely fenced area, or any location that can build up
a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered
breezeway, etc.
NOTICE:
Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation.
• It is recommended that at least 60 inches (1.52m) of
vertical 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 or above the roof.

CB1200 Pellet Insert
B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power
Failure
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back
in the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down
conditions, it must be able to draft naturally without exhaust
blower operation.
Negative pressure in the house will resist this natural draft if
not accounted for in the pellet appliance installation.
Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels. This
air must be replaced with cold air from outdoors which
ows into lower levels of the house.
Vents and chimneys into basements and lower levels of the
house can become the conduit for air supply and reverse
under these conditions.
Outside Air
An outside air kit is recommended in all installations. The
Outside Air Kit must be ordered separately.
Per national building codes, consideration must be given
to combustion air supply to all combustion appliances.
Failure to supply adequate combustion air for all appliance
demands may lead to back-drafting of those and other
appliances.
When the appliance is roof vented (strongly recommended):
The air intake is best located on the exterior wall
oriented towards the prevailing wind direction during
the heating season.
When the appliance is side-wall vented:
The air intake is best located on the same exterior wall
as the exhaust vent outlet and located lower on the wall
than the exhaust vent outlet.
The outside air supply kit can supply most of the demands
of the pellet appliance, but consideration must be given to
the total house demand.
House demand may consume the air needed for the
appliance. It may be necessary to add additional
ventilation to the space in which the pellet appliance is
located.
Consult with your local HVAC professional to determine the
ventilation demands for your house.
Vent Congurations
When installing a pellet appliance with a horizontal vent
conguration the frequency of power outages should be
considered:
• Power outages during operation will cause the
appliance to immediately turn o󰀨 and may create
conditions where smoke will back draft into the house.
In order to reduce the likelihood of smoke back drafting
into the house during a power outage, Hearth and
Home Technologies strongly suggests:
- Installing the pellet venting with a minimum vertical
run of 5 feet (1.52m).
- Installing the outside air kit at least 4 feet (1.22m)
below the vent termination.
To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house and
to prevent re-entry of soot or ash into the house:
• Maintain specied clearances to windows, doors and
air inlets, including air conditioners.
• Vents should not be placed below ventilated so󰀩ts.
Run the vent above the roof.
• Avoid venting into alcove locations.
• Vents should not terminate under overhangs, decks or
onto covered porches.
• Maintain minimum clearance of 12 inches (305mm)
from the vent termination to the exterior wall. If you
see deposits developing on the wall, you may need to
extend this distance to accommodate your installation
conditions.
CAUTION
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS Appliance TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.

16 7014-285C August 1, 2018
CB1200 Pellet Insert
C. Negative Pressure
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 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
WARNING
Risk of Asphyxiation!
Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion
fumes and soot.
E. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector:Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
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 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit or the 3
to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent O󰀨set Adapter, use Listed
double wall ue connector. A Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit
must be used with manufactured home installations.
3. Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent
Adapter Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent
O󰀨set Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall ue
connector or Listed double wall ue connector to Class
A Listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting
International Residential Code 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 3 screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with
at least 3 screws through each joint.
6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS Appliance.
7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS Appliance TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever
possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone
(500°F [260°C] minimum rated only).
NOTE: If burning shelled eld corn, you must use
approved venting specically designed for corn. Follow
the instructions from the venting manufacturer.
D. Draft
Draft is the pressure di󰀨erence needed to vent an
appliance successfully. When an appliance is drafting
successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the
home through the chimney.
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.
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
• Down drafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
