5 Vent Information

A. Venting and Installation

Tools and supplies needed: Pliers; Phillips screwdriver; Tape measure; Level; Electrical drill and bits; Square; and High Temperature Sealant Material.

Note: Quadra-Fire gas inserts are designed for recessed installations into solid fuel Masonry or Factory Built Non- combustible fireplaces that have been installed in accordance with the National, Provincial, State and Local building codes.

Note: Shipping brackets used to attach appliance to pallet can be used as leveling legs when attached to back of appliance.

The damper of the masonry or factory-built chimney must be removed or fixed open to install the appliance.

Note: In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the word damper shall be replaced with the words flue restrictor.

Minimum fireplace opening requirements are shown on section 12 of this manual. The firebrick (refractory) can be removed from a factory built fireplace in order to gain minimum gas insert opening requirements.

Before installing the 3 in. (76 mm) flex vent pipe, mark or label the exhaust pipe at both ends.

Attach the pipe-to-cap adapter to the termination cap and to the top of the flexible vent pipe and set the cap in place at the top of the chimney. Attach the labeled vent pipe to the labeled collar on the termination.

Install the 3 in. (76 mm) flexible vent pipes down through the chimney. Attach and secure the bottom ends of the flex pipes to the starting collar bracket with set screws on each collar. Attach the labeled pipe to the exhaust collar on the starter collar bracket.

Place the insert on the hearth and carefully slide it into the fireplace. Be sure the gas line enters the heater through the gas access opening and that the electrical cord is extending out the right. (Cord may be re-routed to the left if necessary. A notch will be needed in the trim piece for the cord restraint.)

Position any excess flex vent pipe back up into the chimney.

Install LP conversion, brick set and panel and trim at this point in accordance with your installation plans. See instructions in this manual to do so.

Slide the unit back into the fireplace.

Attach transition assembly to the appliance. Rotate transi- tion assembly latches and lock with the 7/16 in. wrench.

High Temperature Sealant Material. Sealants that will withstand high temperatures (at least 350 degrees Fahr- enheit); General Electric RTV103 (Black), or equivalent. Rutland, Inc. Fireplace Mortar #63, or equivalent; Dow Corning 732 or equivalent.

Note: To avoid down drafts and/or cold air problems, it is recommended to seal off the area between the termination cap and the top of the solid-fuel chimney opening into which the vent cap has been installed.

Note: the metal floor of the solid fuel firebox may be removed to facilitate the installation of the insert. Clearance to combustible material under the insert is 3/8 in. (1 mm). You must use the leveling legs to raise the insert a minimum of 3/8 in. (10 mm) if the insert is to sit on combustible material. The side walls and top structure of the firebox may not be altered with the exception of removable baffles and dampers. The original fireplace may never be returned to solid fuel in this condition.
