. Design, Installation & Location
Getting Started
Considerations
1. Appliance Location
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic
flow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and
chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation
on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor
protection, before actually beginning the installation.
If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appliance
in a location to maintain a clear passage for the installation
of any listed and approved pellet venting system. This appliance may be vented vertically or horizontally.
Maintain specified vent clearance to comubstible requirements listed by the pellet manufactures venting instructions
and all clearance to combustivles listed in this manual.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin
your installation. Be sure local building codes do not supersede UL specifications and always obtain a building permit
so that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly
cancelled. If any assistance is required during installation,
please contact your local dealer.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
and after installation.
2. Thermostat Location
The thermostat’s location will have some effect on the
appliance’s operation. When the thermostat is located close
to the appliance, it may require a slightly higher temperature
setting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If the
thermostat location is in an adjacent room or on a different
floor level, you will notice higher temperatures near the
appliance.
B. Fire Safety
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the
designated air space clearance around the chimney. This
space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat
removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause
a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved
by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of
your home to ensure your safety. They should be
located away from the heating appliance and close
to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector
manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions,
and be sure to maintain regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher
to contend with small fires resulting from burning
embers.
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least 2
escape routes.
4. A plan to deal with a hopper fire as follows:
In the event of a hopper fire:
a. Evacuate the house immediately.
b. Notify fire department.
WARNING
CAUTION

F. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox
R
• The firebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory-built
firebox in order to gain minimum insert opening requirements.
• Any smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed
from a factory-built firebox if attached with mechanical fasteners.
• The metal floor of the factory-built firebox may be removed
to facilitate the installation of the insert only when a 1/4
(6mm) inch airspace is provided between the insert and
the floor of outer wrap.
The following is only one example as there are many different models of factory-built fireplaces.
Starter hole
Mark area of
floor to cut
Use 2 x 4 from insert
packaging to support insert
Figure 10.3. If the floor is made of thin metal,
we recommend using the 2 x 4 from the insert
packaging to support the insert. The 2 x 4
may need to be cut to the appropriate size.
Keep sharp edge of
metal floor away from
power cord
Figure 10.1. Measure and mark the metal
floor for cutting. With a drill, make a starter
hole in each corner.
Figure 10.2. Using a saws-all, cut out the
floor
Figure 10.4. Place the insert into the factory-built firebox. Ensure that the power
cord can not be damaged by the sharp metal
edge. You may need to cut out a notch to
accommodate the cord.
NOTE: Ensure that the leveling leg is positioned over the 2 x 4 before leveling the
insert. See page 16, for detailed instructions
on how to adjust the leveling legs.

A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be vented
vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent. Use
Listed double wall flue connector. A Quadra-Fire outside
air kit must be used with manufactured home installations.
3. Residential: Use 24 gauge single wall flue connector
or a Listed double wall flue connector to Class A Listed
metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting national
and/or local codes for solid fuel appliances.
4. INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5.
Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at
least 3 screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with
at least 3 screws through each joint.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F
[260°C] minimum rated only).
NOTE: If burning shelled field corn, you must use approved
venting specifically designed for corn. Follow the instructions from the venting manufacturer.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
• Only LISTED venting components may be
used.
• NO OTHER vent components may be used.
Substitute or damaged vent components may
impair safe operation.
WARNING
Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns
if touched. Non-combustible shielding or
guards may be required.
Castile Pellet Insert
B. Venting Termination Requirements
CAUTION
Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
1. Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is
recommended that at least 60 inches (1524mm) of vertical pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly
through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which
will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting
into the home during a power outage. It will also keep
exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing
people or shrubs to high temperatures. The safest and
preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically
through the roof.
2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) horizontally
from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows:
a. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below, horizontally
from or above.
4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade
should be 12 inches (305mm) minimum. This is conditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade
surface. The grade surface must be a non-combustible
material (i.e., rock, dirt). The grade surface must not be
lawn. Distance between bottom of termination and public
walkway should be 84 inches (2134mm) minimum.
5. Distance to combustible materials must be 24 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
•
Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl soffits.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.

The chart will help you in determing proper venting
size according to the equivalent feet of pipe calcuated
above and the altitude above sea level of this installation. Figure 12.2.
Locate the calculated equivalent feet of pipe on
the vertical left side of the chart. Move to the right
horizontally on the chart until you reach your altitude
above sea level.
If you fall below the diagonal line, 3 or 4 inch (76 to
102mm) pipe may be used. If it is anywhere above
the diagonal line, a 4 inch (102mm) diameter pipe is
required.
The chart reveals that a 90° elbow is 5 times as restrictive to the flow of exhaust gases under positive pressure as 1 foot of horizontal pipe, and a foot of horizontal
pipe is twice as restrictive as a foot of vertical pipe.

A. Mobile Home Installation
You must use a Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit for installation in a mobile home.
1. An outside air inlet must be provided for the combustion
air and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or
snow. It must be unrestricted while the appliance is
in use to prevent room air starvation which causes
smoke spillage. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke
alarms.
2. The combustion air duct system must be made of
metal. It must permit zero clearance to combustible
construction and prevent material from dropping into
the inlet or into the area beneath the dwelling and
contain a rodent screen.
3. The appliance must be secured to the mobile home
structure by bolting it to the floor (using lag bolts). Use
the same holes that secured the appliance to the shipping pallet.
4. The appliance must be grounded with #8 solid copper
grounding wire or equivalent, terminated at each end
with an NEC approved grounding device.
