D. Flue Draft Considerations

Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor- mance. As shown in Figure 6.1 on page 6 the chimney should:

Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die down of the fire.

Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.

Consider the appliance location in order to avoid floor and ceiling attic joists and rafters.

Exterior conditions such as roof line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby hills can influence stove performance. Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will easily correct your flue problem.

To be sure that your appliance burns properly, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.) during a low burn and -.10 inch W.C. during a high burn, measured 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat for individual installations.

E. Venting Systems

The venting system consists of a chimney connector (also known as stove pipe) and a chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000°F (1100°C) in the event of a creosote fire. To protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained. An approved thimble must be used when a connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney support package must be used when a connection is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These accessories are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material. Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances when installing venting system.

F. Tools And Supplies Needed

Before beginning the installation be sure that the following tools and building supplies are available.

Reciprocating saw

Non-Combustible Sealant

Pliers

G. Inspect Appliance & Components and Pre-Burn Check List

1.Place the appliance in a location near the final installation area and follow the procedures below:

2.Open the appliance and remove all the parts and articles packed inside the Component Pack. Inspect all the parts and glass for shipping damage. Contact your dealer if any irregularities are noticed.

3.All safety warnings have been read and followed.

4.This Owner’s Manual has been read.

5.Floor protection requirements have been met.

6.Venting is properly installed.

7.The proper clearances from the appliance and chimney to combustible materials have been met.

8.The masonry chimney is inspected by a professional and is clean, or the factory built metal chimney is installed according to the manufacturer’s instruc- tions and clearances.

9.The chimney meets the required minimum height.

10.All labels have been removed from the glass door.

11.A power outlet is available nearby if installing optional blower assembly.

Quadra-Fire CUMBGAP-MBK, CUMPGAP-PMH Flue Draft Considerations, Venting Systems, Tools And Supplies Needed, Fire Risk

CUMBGAP-MBK, CUMPGAP-PMH specifications

The Quadra-Fire CUMPGAP-PMH and CUMBGAP-MBK are established models in the realm of high-efficiency wood stoves, combining modern technology with traditional heating methods to provide an effective and environmentally friendly heating solution.

One of the standout features of the CUMPGAP-PMH and CUMBGAP-MBK models is their impressive heating efficiency. Both stoves exceed industry standards, ensuring that more heat is produced from less fuel, which not only helps in saving on heating costs but also reduces the environmental impact. Their efficient combustion technology means that these stoves produce minimal emissions, making them a responsible choice for eco-conscious consumers.

The construction of these stoves is designed with durability and robustness in mind. Made from high-quality materials, they assure longevity and reliability, which are crucial elements in heating appliances. The intelligently engineered airflow dynamics facilitate efficient burning, allowing these models to maintain optimal performance under various conditions.

Another significant feature of both models is the incorporation of advanced catalytic combustors. These catalysts improve the combustion process, resulting in cleaner burning and enhancing overall efficiency. The catalytic technology functions by allowing smoke and gases to pass through the catalyst, where they undergo additional burning before being released into the atmosphere. This process not only maximizes heat generation but also significantly lowers the emissions of harmful pollutants.

User convenience is also a top priority with these wood stoves. They feature large ash pans and simple loading mechanisms, making it easy to maintain and use them regularly. Their stylish design allows them to fit seamlessly into any home décor, and with variable heating capacities, they can effectively warm spaces of different sizes.

Safety features are another vital characteristic of the CUMPGAP-PMH and CUMBGAP-MBK models. With built-in heat shields and thermal protection, they provide peace of mind to homeowners while promoting safer operation. Additionally, they comply with various safety and efficiency standards set by regulatory bodies.

In conclusion, the Quadra-Fire CUMPGAP-PMH and CUMBGAP-MBK models stand out for their efficiency, design, advanced combustion technology, and safety features. They offer a modern solution to traditional wood heating, ensuring warmth and comfort while taking care of the environment. These stoves represent the perfect synergy of innovation and effectiveness in home heating solutions.
