REMINGTON QFP40 Direct Vent FIREPLACE

GENERAL VENTING INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE NOTE: In order to comply with applicable codes and product warranties, only Simpson Dura-Vent venting components may be used.

DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING COMPONENTS.

The Quadra-Fire Remington Fireplace QFP40 is approved to be vented either horizontally, through the side wall, or vertically, through the roof. You may vent through a Class A or masonry chimney if a Simpson Dura-Vent adapter is used (for USA installations only). Only Simpson Dura-Vent components labeled and listed on page 27 may be used.

This fireplace is a direct vent heater. All combustion air must come directly from the outside of the building. The vent pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an outer pipe. The inner pipe carries the stove exhaust out of the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh combustion air into the stove.

A wall thimble is optional when the venting passes through a wall. A support box or firestop is required when the venting passes through a ceiling. Roof flashing and a storm collar are required when venting passes through the roof. Follow instructions provided with the vent for installation of these items.

IMPORTANT

Read all these instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow instructions may create a fire or other safety hazard, and will void the warranty. Be sure to follow these installation instructions for venting and clearance to combustible requirements, which may vary from one installation to another. Do not extend the venting system in excess of the distance prescribed in these manufacturer’s installation instructions. This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

The Quadra-Fire Remington QFP40 Fireplace is an engineered product that has been designed and tested. The warranty will be voided, and serious fire, health, or other safety hazards may result from any of the following actions: Installation of any damaged venting component, unau- thorized modification of the venting system, installation of any component part not approved by Aladdin Hearth Products, or installation other than as instructed by these instructions. Consult your local building codes before beginning this installation.

WARNING: Always maintain the required clearances (air space) to nearby combustibles to avoid creating a fire hazard. Do not fill air space with insulation. Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible surfaces is 2" (50mm). Be sure to check the vent termination clearance require- ments from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways, as specified on page 31 of these installation instructions and local building codes.

The gas fireplace and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. This direct vent gas fireplace must use its own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection when installing this stove. Exercise extreme cau- tion when using ladders or on rooftops around power lines. Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings.
