2Getting Started
Introducing the Village Collection
Gas Fireplaces
The Village Collection direct vent gas fireplaces are de-
signed to operate 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
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the
dimensions, are shown in this section.
Pre-install Preparation
Thisgasfireplace and its componentsare tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly 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 are packaged
separately and must be field installed.
Read all of the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully during
the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the
owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
TheQuadra-FireWarrantywill be voidedby, andHearth &
Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility for, the
followingactions
• 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 anycomponent partnot manu-
facturedand approvedby 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.
•Theventsystem configuration to beused.
•Gas supply piping.
•Electricalwiring.
•Framingand finishing details.
•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
fireplaceshouldbe installed ona metal or woodpanel that
extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 37).
The distance from the unit to combustible construction is
to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to the
combustible construction, NOT from the screw heads that
secure the unit together.

Clearance Requirements
The top and back of the fireplace are defined by stand-
offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past theface of the fireplace is3 inches (76mm).
The back of the fireplace may be recessed 16 1/4 inches
(413mm) into combustible construction.
Figure 3. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations,
and Space Requirements
Constructing the Fireplace Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gasfireplace and/or itsvent system. Verticalvents that run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to
be, installed inside a chase.
CAUTION: TREATMENTOF FIRESTOPSPACERSAND
CONSTRUCTIONOFTHE CHASEMAYVARYWITH THE
TYPEOF BUILDING. THESEINSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT
SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL
BUILDINGCODES. THEREFORE,YOUR LOCALBUILD-
ING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.
Factory-built fireplace chases should be constructed in
the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold
air drafting problems. The chase should not break the out-
side building envelope in any 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.
To furtherprevent drafts,the firestopsshould becaulkedto
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
woodburning units if they are required.
THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THAT
ALL CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAIN-
TAINED AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS
GUIDE.
Note: *If venting with (2) 900elbows off rear of unit
the dimensions C, D and E will change.

Figure 5. Framing Dimensions
Step 2. Framing the Fireplace
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace
is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-
gram below shows framing reference dimensions.
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING
DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.
Framing should be constructed
of 2 X 4 lumber or heavier.
The framing headers may rest
on the fireplace stand-offs.
The center of the framing hole is one
(1) inch (25.4mm) above the center of
the horizontal vent pipe.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
These models have vent starting collars 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
attachthe ventsystem. Thestarting collarsealing capmust
remainonthe starting collar NOTused.
These models use SL-D-series, direct vent components
when using the TOP vent collars. This pipe is tested and
listedas an approvedcomponent ofthe fireplace. Thepipe
is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall. There is no
requirementfor inspectionopenings ateachjoint withinthe
wall.Thereis no requiredpitchfor horizontal ventruns.
Thesemodels alsouseDVP-series directvent components
whenusing the REAR ventcollars.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the
typeof fuel burnedand the ventingconfiguration used.
Identifying Vent Components
Approvedvent system componentsare labeledfor identifi-
cation. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPO-
NENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed installation instructions
are included with each vent termination kit and should be
used in conjunction with this Installers Guide. Figure 8
shows vent system components and terminations.
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may in-
clude one, two, or three 90°elbow assemblies. The rela-
tionshipsof vertical riseto horizontal runinvent configura-
tions using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The
riseto run relationships areshown in theventing drawings
andtables.Referto thediagramsonthenextseveralpages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one
90° elbow. Maximum and minimum rise to run ratios
must always be maintained in the vent system when
using 45° elbows.

NOTE: For vertical venting

Figure 9.
Flex Vent
The flex vent must be supported with the spacing between
support intervals not exceeding 4 feet, with no more than
½ inch sag between supports.
A support is required at each change in venting direction,
and in any location where it is necessary to maintain the
necessary clearance to combustibles. A simple “up and
out” installation (Figure 9) requires only enough support to
maintain the necessary clearance to combustibles. How-
ever, the vent attachment point and the firestop location
are considered to be supports.
