(NOTE: Some termination caps may cause the vent pipe to be off center on flashing). Ensure that proper clearances to combustible materials are maintained. If you are not using an approved termination cap with a built-in standoff on a building with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding standoff should be installed between the termination cap and the exterior wall (Figure 5.9). Follow manufacturer’s instructions for attaching the vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal termination cap. The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding material. . Remove siding from the area where the standoff will be located.

WARNING! The vent terminal cap shall not be recessed into a wall or siding

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Exhaust Fume Risk.

Impaired Performance of Appliance.

Ensure vent components are locked together correctly.

Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Step 5.

Place the wall thimble cover over the pipe assembly and slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall, carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent termination cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extend into the vent termination cap a sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 in. (32mm). Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent termination cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent termination cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section. Figure 5.10.

WARNING

Do NOT connect a pipe section to a termination cap without using the telescoping flue section found on the termination cap.

WARNING

Burn Risk.

Local codes may require installation of a cap shield to prevent anything or anyone from touching the hot cap.

These units are meticulously engineered to enhance both efficiency and aesthetics, making them perfect additions to contemporary living spaces.

One of the standout features of the Sapphire series is its advanced combustion technology. The fireplaces utilize a patented Clean Burn technology. This innovation ensures that the combustion process is as efficient as possible, resulting in reduced emissions and maximizing heat output. With lower particulate emissions, these models not only provide warmth but do so in an environmentally conscious manner.

In terms of performance, the Sapphire fireplaces are designed to deliver consistent and radiant heat. With their powerful heating capabilities, they can warm up large areas, making them suitable for homes of various sizes. The efficient design helps to distribute heat evenly throughout a room, eliminating cold spots and ensuring comfort in all corners of your living space.

The design aesthetics of the Sapphire series is equally impressive. The models feature a sleek, modern design complemented by a large viewing area, allowing for an unobstructed view of the mesmerizing flames. The glass is designed to remain clean for longer periods, thanks to the sophisticated airflow management system that directs air over the glass surfaces, reducing soot buildup.

Customization options are another notable characteristic of the Sapphire series. Homeowners can choose from various finishes and styles to match their home’s decor. The units are available in both traditional and contemporary designs, allowing for versatility in different architectural settings.

The Sapphire-D-PMH model is equipped with a programmable thermostat for added convenience and efficiency. This technology allows users to set the desired temperature, ensuring that their space remains comfortable without unnecessary manual adjustments.

On the other hand, the Sapphire-D-CSB model features an innovative fuel management system that optimally uses wood fuel for extended burn times. This means less frequent refueling and more time spent enjoying the warmth and ambiance the fireplace provides.

The Sapphire-D-MBK and Sapphire-MBK models are designed with durability and longevity in mind. Each unit is constructed from high-quality materials that are built to withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining structural integrity over time.

In summary, the Quadra-Fire Sapphire series combines advanced technology, unique design, and high efficiency. With features like Clean Burn technology, customizable options, and smart fuel management systems, the Sapphire fireplaces offer not just heat, but a stylish centerpiece for modern homes.
