2 Getting Started A. Design & Installation Considerations Quadra-Fire direct vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all combustion air drawn from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No additional air source is required. CAUTION Check building codes prior to installation. • Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
3 Appliance Location and Clearances NOTE: · Illustrations reflect typical installations and are FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY. · Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. · Actual installation may vary due to individual design preference. WARNING Fire Risk Provide adequate clearance: • Around air openings • To combustibles • For service access Locate appliance away from traffic areas. A.

Use of Elbows In order to comply with applicable codes and product warranties, use only following venting components: • • • • • CAUTION ALL vent configuration specifications MUST be followed. Hearth & Home Technologies (HHT) Simpson Dura-Vent Selkirk Direct-Temp Amerivent Direct Security Secure Vent • This product is tested and listed to these specifications. • Appliance performance will suffer if specifications are not followed.
D. How to Use the Vent Graph E. Venting Guidelines 1. NOTES The maximum horizontal vent run is 15 ft. (5m) when the vertical vent rise is 10 ft. (3m). 2. 3. Measure the vertical distance from the center line of the flue pipe to the center of the 90° elbow. On the graph below, draw a horizontal line from that measurement on the vertical axis across until it intersects with the slanted line. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.
F. Horizontal Termination Type A - Up & Out Installations for Top Vent Configurations Step 1. Determine the desired location of the appliance. Check to ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the appliance.

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, Plumber’s Tape connected to Wall Strap it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 ft. (914mm) to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible separation.
Step 8. Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down to the top of the flashing (Figure 5.15). Use non-hardening sealant above and below the joint between the storm collar and the pipe. Optional High Wind Termination Cap Secure Flashing with Non-Hardening Sealant and Roofing Nails WARNING Fire Risk. Explosion Risk. • Any occupied areas above the first floor, including closets and storage spaces, which the vertical vent passed through must be enclosed.
2. Cathedral Ceiling Step 1. Follow installation Steps 1 and 2 under vertical installation section, page 15. Step 2. 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 3. 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 5.17). Align the support box both vertically and horizontally with a level.
Step 4. Pass the flex pipe down through the center of the chimney system, and center the top adapter on the top of the chimney pipe. Drill four 1/8 in. (3mm) diameter holes through the top adapter, and into the chimney top. Ensure that you are drilling into the metal on the chimney. Twist lock the high wind termination cap onto the top adapter (Figures 5.22 and 5.23). 3. Class A Metal Chimney TERMINATION CAP TOP ADAPTOR FLASHING EXISTING METAL CHIMNEY SYSTEM 4 in.

Loosen the set collars on the extension rods with the 3/32 in. Allen wrench.
B. Gas Pressures C. Gas Connection Proper input pressures required for optimum appliance performance, gas line sizing requirements need to be followed from NFPA51. WARNING Fire Risk. Explosion Hazard. High pressure will damage valve. • Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures above 1/2 psig. • Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
WARNING Fire or Explosion Hazard • Gas build-up during line purge may ignite. • Purge should be performed by qualified technician. • Ensure adequate ventilation. • Ensure there are no ignition sources such as sparks or open flame. • A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When first lighting appliance it will take a short time for air to purge from lines. When purging is complete the appliance will light and operate normally.
7 Electrical Information A. Recommendation for Wire See B5 below for recommended maximum lead length (two wire) when using wall thermostat/switch. NOTE: This appliance must be electrically wired and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C221.1. 8.

9 Operating Instructions A. Before Lighting Appliance Read this entire manual prior to using the appliance. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. • Remove all shipping materials from inside and/or underneath the firebox. • Review proper placement of logs, mineral wool. • Check the wiring. • Check the baffle adjustment. • Ensure that there are no gas leaks. • Ensure that the glass is sealed and in the proper position.
C. Lighting Appliance FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life A. This appliance has a pilot that must be lit manually. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly. B. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
D. After Appliance is Lit CAUTION Initial Break-in Procedure When you light your appliance, you may notice that it produces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation on the glass is normal.
10 Troubleshooting With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualified service person in the diagnosis of a problem and the corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualified service technician. Symptom 1. After repeated triggering of the piezo button, the spark ignitor will not light the pilot. 2.
Symptom 3. (Continued) Possible Cause Corrective Action c. Defective valve. Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON position. Check the millivolt meter at the thermopile terminals. The millivolt meter should read greater than 125mV. If the reading is acceptable, and if the burner does not come on, replace the gas valve. d. Plugged burner orifice. Check the burner orifice for stoppage. Remove stoppage. e. Wall switch or wires are defective.
11 Maintaining and Servicing Your Appliance Although the frequency of your appliance servicing and maintenance will depend on use and the type of installation, a qualified service technician should perform an appliance check-up at the beginning of each heating season. CAUTION Handle glass assembly with care. NOTE: Clean glass after initial 3-4 hours operation. Longer operation without cleaning glass may cause a permanent white lm on glass. WARNING Risk of injury or property damage.
A. Maintenance Tasks Inspect Doors Maintenance Tasks 1. Inspect for scratches, dents or other damage and repair as necessary. 2. Verify no obstructions to air flow. 3. Verify maintenance of proper clearance to combustible household objects. Gasket Seal, Glass Assembly and Glass 1. Inspect gasket seal and its condition. 2. Inspect glass for scratches and nicks that can lead to breakage when exposed to heat. 3. Confirm there is no damage to glass or glass frame, Replace as necessary. 4.
