LISTINGS

These installation instructions describe the installation and operation of the Quadra-Fire 3100-I ACT Wood Insert. This insert meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 1990 particulate emission standards. The 3100-I ACTis listed by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. to UL Safety Standard 1482, and ULC S628, and (UM) 84-HUD.

Check with your local building code agency before you begin your

installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the

need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be sure local building codes do not supersede UL specications and always obtain a building permit so that insurance protection benets cannot be unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during

installation, please contact your local dealer.

CHIMNEY HEIGHT/DRAFT

To be sure that your Quadra-Fire insert burns properly, the chimney

draft (static pressure) should be approximately -0.10” water column (W.C.) during a high burn and -0.04” W.C. during a low burn, measured 6” (152mm) above the top of the insert after one hour of

operation at each burn setting.

NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat for

individual installations.

Your Quadra-Fire insert was designed for and tested on a 6” (152mm) chimney, 12 ft-14 ft (360-420cm) high, measured from the base of the insert. The further your stack height or diameter

varies from this configuration, the possibility of performance problems increases. In addition, exterior conditions such as roof line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby hills can

inuence insert’s performance.

A masonry chimney or a listed factory-built UL103 HT Class “A” chimney must be the required height above the roof and any other nearby obstructions. The chimney must be at least 3 ft (91cm) higher

than the highest point where it passes through the roof and at least

2 ft (61cm) higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10 ft (305cm) of the chimney, measured horizontally. See

2-10-3 Rule (Figure 6A). These are safety requirements and are not meant to assure proper ue draft.

CHIMNEY HEIGHT/DRAFT (CONT’D)

AVOID FIRE: To ensure that insulation or any other combustible

material does not contact the chimney, a chimney inside the house

must have at least 2 inches (51mm) of air space clearance around

he chimney. A chimney outside the house must have at least 1 inch (25mm) clearance to the combustible structure. Noncombustible re stops must be installed at the spaces where the chimney passes through oors and/or ceilings. Refer to Figures 8A & 8B

on page 8. Canadian installations require a full reline of the chimney

NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

WE RECOMMEND that a qualied building inspector and your

insurance company representative review your plans before

installation.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

The Quadra-Fire 3100-I ACT insert has met and surpassed the most stringent emissions standards in the United States. The sophistication of the interior rebox design requires that a proper

draft be supplied by the chimney, therefore adherence to the following factors will enable your insert to operate at its optimum capability.

REqUIRED: A minimum starter pipe reaching to the base of the existing code approved masonry chimney and an airtight face seal,

but a full chimney liner for factory-built replaces is recommended for USA and is required in Canada.

BETTER: Direct connection to the rst ue liner in accordance with the requirements of the NFPA 211.

BEST: A complete relining of the chimney system with a 6 inch (152mm) diameter listed, stainless liner. Required for factory-built replace installations in Canada, recommended in USA. The sections

must be attached to the insert and to each other with the crimped (male) end pointing toward the insert. See Figure 6B. All joints,

including the connection at the ue collar, should be secured with three sheet metal screws. Make sure to follow the minimum clear-

ances to combustibles as set out on Page 5 of the manual.

•

Work unit securely into the replace using sheet metal shims if leveling bolts are needed (page 11).

• Remove all labels from glass prior to building rst re.

• Ensure that plated surfaces are cleaned prior to building rst re (page 18).

• Read Operation Instructions found on pages 15 and 16.

IF INSTALLING THIS MODEL TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY, ALWAYS BE SURE THE CHIMNEY IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) STANDARD 211. A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY MUST BE 6 INCH (152mm) UL 103 HT AND ULC S629.

THIS APPLIANCE IS MADE WITH A 6 INCH (152mm) DIAMETER CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AS THE FLUE COLLAR ON THE UNIT. CHANGING THE DIAMETER OF THE CHIMNEY CAN AFFECT DRAFT AND CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE OFFSETS OR ELBOWS AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 4000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL OR WHEN THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT FLUE DRAFT. SEE PAGE 6.

CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT WHILE IN OPERATION AND MAY REMAIN SO UP TO 40 MINUTES AFTER THERE IS NO FUEL IN THE FIREBOX. IF THIS APPLIANCE IS IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA OR CHILDREN MAY BE NEAR, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PURCHASE A DECORATIVE BARRIER TO GO IN FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE.

ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTION WORKSHEET

How to determine if alternate oor protection materials are acceptable:

All oor protection must be non-combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral ber boards, etc.). Any organic materials (i.e., plastics, wood paper products, etc.) are combustible and must not be used. The oor protection specied includes some form of thermal designation such as R-value (thermal resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).

PROCEDURE:

1. Convert specication to R-value:

R-value given - no conversion needed.

k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:

2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate oor protector.

i. Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”.

ii. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine overall R-value.

3. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the specied oor protector, the alternate is acceptable.

EXAMPLE: The specied oor protector should be 3/4 inch thick material with a k-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brick with an r-factor of

0.2 over 1/8” mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.

Step (a): Use formula above to convert specication to R-value.

Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system.

K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:

r-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R =

Step (c): Compare proposed system R

September 1, 2008

of 1.231 to specied R of 0.893. Since proposed system R

total

250-638D

is greater than required, the system is acceptable.

MASONRY FIREPLACE

USING DIRECT-CONNECT METHOD

The Quadra-Fire 3100-I ACT Insert conforms with the UL Standard for Safety 1482 and ULC S628 (Canada) in all respects, and is approved to UL & ULC safety standards for installation and use within a replace with a masonry chimney in accordance with NFPA No. 211, with or without a direct ue collar connection. A starter pipe is required to reach to the bottom of the existing ue.

1. Secure the replace damper in the open position. If this

cannot be accomplished, it will be necessary to remove the damper.

2. Seal the damper area around the chimney liner with a high temperature sealant.

3. The chimney should be examined for cracks, loose mortar, and other signs of deterioration and blockage. The insert should not be installed until it is determined that the chimney is safe for use. Since an oversized ue contributes to the accumulation of creosote, the size of the ue should be checked to determine that it is not too large for the insert. The chimney should also be checked to ensure it meets the minimum standard of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 211. The following bullets list the more critical requirements for a properly constructed chimney:

• The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular block, must be a minimum of 4 inches (102mm) nominal thickness. A chimney of rubble stone must be at least 12 inches (305mm) thick

• The chimney must have a re clay ue liner (or equiva- lent) with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (16mm) and must be installed with refractory mortar. An equivalent liner must be

a listed chimney liner system or other approved material.

•

A chimney inside the house must have at least 2 inches

(51mm) of clearance to the combustible structure. A chimney outside the house must have at least 1 inch (25mm) clearance to the combustible structure. Non-combustible re

stops must be installed at the spaces where the chimney

passes through oors and/or ceiling (See Figure 8A and 8B on page 8).

NOTE: In Canada, a full reline is required.
