2. Cathedral Ceiling

Step 1.

Follow installation Steps 1 and 2 under vertical installation section, page 15.

Step 2.

Using the plumb-bob, mark the center line of the venting system on the ceiling, and drill a small hole through the ceiling and roof at this point. From the roof, locate the drill hole and mark the outline of the cathedral ceiling support box.

Step 3.

Remove shingles or other roof covering as necessary to cut the rectangular hole for the support box. Cut the hole 1/8 in. (3mm) larger than the support box outline.

Step 4.

Lower the support box through the hole in the roof until the bottom of the support box protrudes at least 2 in. (51mm) below the ceiling Figure 5.18. Align the support box both vertically and horizontally with a level. Temporarily tack the support box in place through the inside walls and into the roof sheathing.

Step 5.

Using tin snips, cut the support box from the top corners down to the roofline, and fold the resulting flaps over the roof sheathing Figure 5.19. Before nailing it to the roof, run a bead of non-hardening mastic around the top edges of the support box to make a seal between it and the roof. Clean out any combustible material from inside the support box.

Step 6.

Complete the cathedral ceiling installation by following the same procedures outlined in steps 4 through 8 for vertical installations, pages 16-17.

Step 7.

Place the support clamp (provided with the support box) inside the support box (at the bottom), and secure to the pipe section. The clamp allows the support box to support the weight of the pipe sections. Continue to add pipe sections until you are above the roofline.

Step 8.

Install the black trim collar around the outside of the cathedral ceiling support box Figure 5.20. The two pieces of the trim collar slide over one another to allow for easy adjustment around the support box. Using the six screws provided, secure the four corners and the overlapping sections of the trim collar to the ceiling. You may want to predrill the holes for the overlapped sections for ease of installation.

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.
