Step 3.

To install the round support box/wall thimble cover in a flat ceiling, cut a 10 in. (254mm) square hole in the ceiling, centered on the hole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole as shown in Figure 5.14.

Step 4.

Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the appliance up through the round support box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.

Step 5.

Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles, as

specified. Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling support box/wall thimble up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roofline. The galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline, due to its higher corrosion resistance.

NOTE:

(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 ft. (914mm) to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose, Figure 5.13.

(2)Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of flue gases and intake air.

Step 6.

Slip the flashing over the pipe section(s) protruding through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof with roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 5.15. Verify that the chimney is the required height above the roof. See roof pitch table, Figure 4.3, on page 8 of this manual.

Step 7.

Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of the vent (before adding the termination cap) meets the minimum code requirements as outlined in the current CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes (in Canada), the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in USA), or local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased. See Roof Pitch Table Figure 4.3 on page 8. In high wind conditions, nearby trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or down drafting. In these cases increasing the vent height or switching to the high wind termination cap may solve this problem.

SAPPHIRE-D-CSB, SAPPHIRE-D-PMH, SAPPHIRE-MBK, SAPPHIRE-D-MBK specifications

The Quadra-Fire Sapphire series of fireplaces, which includes the Sapphire-D-PMH, Sapphire-D-CSB, Sapphire-D-MBK, and Sapphire-MBK models, epitomizes modern heating technology combined with elegant design. 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.
