LISTINGS	CHIMNEY HEIGHT/DRAFT (CONT’D)

These installation instructions describe the installation and operation of the Quadra-Fire 4100-I Wood Insert. This insert meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 1990 particulate emission standards. This product is listed by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. to UL Safety Standard 1482, and ULC S628, and (UM) 84-HUD. This insert is approved for mobile home installations when not installed in a sleeping room and when an outside combustion air inlet is provided. The structural integrity of the mobile home floor, ceiling, and walls must be maintained. The insert must be properly grounded to the frame of the mobile home.

Check with your local building code agency before you begin your installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be sure local building codes do not supersede UL specifica- tions and always obtain a building permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during installation, please contact your local dealer.

CHIMNEY HEIGHT/DRAFT

AVOID FIRE: To ensure that insulation or any other com- bustible material does not contact the chimney, a chimney inside the house must have at least 2 inches (51mm) of air space clearance around the chimney. A chimney outside the house must have at least one inch (25mm) clearance to the combustible structure. Noncombustible fire stops must be installed at the spaces where the chimney passes through floors and/or ceilings. Refer to Figures 8A & 8B on page 8. Canadian installations require a full reline of the chimney

NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

WE RECOMMEND that a qualified building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after installation.
