D. High Altitude Installations
Omni-Test Laboratories, Inc. listed gas appliances are
tested and approved without requiring changes for
elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in the U.S.A. and 0 to 4500
feet in Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating
by changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size.
Input rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet
above a 2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. If the heating
value of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not
apply. To identify the proper orifi ce size, check with the
local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
WARNING
Do NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
E. Non-Combustible Materials Specifi cation
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are
those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete,
slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a
Vertical Tube Furnace at 750ºC, shall be considered
non-combustible materials.
F. Combustible Materials Specifi cation
Materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant fi bers, plastics, or other material that can ig-
nite and burn, whether fl ame proofed or not, or whether

Vent Information
A. Venting and Installation
Tools and supplies needed: Pliers; Phillips screwdriver;
Tape measure; Level; Electrical drill and bits; Square; and
High Temperature Sealant Material.
Note: Quadra-Fire gas inserts are designed for recessed
installations into solid fuel Masonry or Factory Built Noncombustible fi replaces that have been installed in accordance
with the National, Provincial, State and Local building codes.
Note: Shipping brackets used to attach appliance to pallet can
be used as leveling legs when attached to back of appliance.
The damper of the masonry or factory-built chimney must
be removed or fi xed open to install the appliance.
Note: In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the word
damper shall be replaced with the words fl ue restrictor.
Minimum fi replace opening requirements are shown on
section 12 of this manual. The fi rebrick (refractory) can
be removed from a factory built fi replace in order to gain
minimum gas insert opening requirements.
Before installing the 3 in. (76 mm) fl ex vent pipe, mark or
label the exhaust pipe at both ends.
Attach the pipe-to-cap adapter to the termination cap and
to the top of the fl exible vent pipe and set the cap in place
at the top of the chimney. Attach the labeled vent pipe to
the labeled collar on the termination.
Install the 3 in. (76 mm) fl exible vent pipes down through
the chimney. Attach and secure the bottom ends of the
fl ex pipes to the starting collar bracket with set screws on
each collar. Attach the labeled pipe to the exhaust collar
on the starter collar bracket.
Place the insert on the hearth and carefully slide it into the
fi replace. Be sure the gas line enters the heater through
the gas access opening and that the electrical cord is
extending out the right. (Cord may be re-routed to the left
if necessary. A notch will be needed in the trim piece for
the cord restraint.)
Position any excess fl ex vent pipe back up into the
chimney.
Install LP conversion, brick set and panel and trim at
this point in accordance with your installation plans. See
instructions in this manual to do so.
Slide the unit back into the fi replace.
Attach transition assembly to the appliance. Rotate transi-
tion assembly latches and lock with the 7/16 in. wrench.

Note: To avoid down drafts and/or cold air problems, it is
recommended to seal off the area between the termination
cap and the top of the solid-fuel chimney opening into which
the vent cap has been installed.
Note: the metal fl oor of the solid fuel fi rebox may be removed
to facilitate the installation of the insert. Clearance to
combustible material under the insert is 3/8 in. (1 mm). You
must use the leveling legs to raise the insert a minimum of
3/8 in. (10 mm) if the insert is to sit on combustible material.
The side walls and top structure of the fi rebox may not be
altered with the exception of removable baffl es and dampers.
The original fi replace may never be returned to solid fuel in
this condition.

C. Valve Regulator Replacement
Remove upper and lower back shield. Loosen the set collars on the extension rods with the 3/32 in. Allen wrench.
Remove the rods and adapter cap.
Turn control knob to the OFF position, ensure that gas
supply to the valve has been turned off. Using a Torx
TH20, or slotted screwdriver, remove the three pressure
regulator mounting screws (A), pressure regulator tower
(B), and diaphragm (C).

Note: Do not remove retaining clip from the pilot hood.
Using a 5/32 in. (4 mm) Allen wrench, remove the pilot
injector and replace with an appropriate injector (#35 LP
/ #62 NG).

WARNING
Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
• Disconnect any electrical cords and turn
off gas supply to unit before proceeding if
converting fuel on an appliance already fully
installed.

Ensure that the rubber gasket (D) is properly positioned
and install the new HI/LO pressure regulator assembly to
the valve using the new screws (E) supplied with the kit.
Tighten screws securely. (Reference torque = 25 in./lb.)
Install the enclosed identifi cation label (F) to the valve
body where it can be seen.
Fill out the conversion label and attach it to the valve
cover.

WARNING
D. Gas Pressures
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to
be made following NFPA54.
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
Verify inlet pressures.
• High pressure may cause overfi re condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
• Verify minimum pressures when other
household gas appliances are operating.
Install regulator upstream of valve if line
pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.
Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
Gas Leak Risk.
• Rubber gasket must be seated properly on
valve face.
• Do no install a valve or regulator that has
been dropped.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
• If the information in these instructions is
not followed exactly, a fi re, explosion or
production of carbon monoxide may result
causing property damage, personal injury or
loss of life.
• The qualifi ed service agency is responsible
for the proper installation of this conversion
kit. The installation is not proper and complete
until the operation of the converted appliance
is checked as specifi ed in the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with the kit.
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in the
table below. Minimum pressures must be met when other
household gas appliances are operating.

If the pressure is not suffi cient, ensure:
• The piping used is large enough.
• The supply regulator is adequately adjusted.
• That the total gas load for the residence does not
exceed the amount supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly
to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should supply
gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact
the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper
pressure.
