Getting Started
Introducing the Quadra-Fire Gas Fireplace
Quadra-Fire direct vent gas fireplaces are designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any unit
with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
The vent system components and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs may be packaged
separately and must be field installed.
Read all of the instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the
installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
The Hearth & Home Technologies Warranty will be voided
by, and Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any
responsibility for, the following actions:
•Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system
component.
•Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
•Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home
Technologies.
•Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
•Installation and/or use of any component part not manufactured and approved by Hearth & Home Technologies,
not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or
other party approval of such component part or accessory.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to
determine:
• Where the unit is to be installed.
• The vent system configuration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring.
• Framing and finishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on
any combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that
extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Constructing the Fireplace Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to
be, installed inside a chase.
CAUTION: TREA TMENT OF FIRESTOP SPACERS AND
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MA Y VARY WITH THE
TYPE OF BUILDING. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT
SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL
BUILDING CODES. THEREFORE, YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.
Factory-built fireplace chases should be constructed in the
manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air
drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside
building envelope in any manner.
ABCDE
42”22”36”51”72”
Figure 2. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations,
and Space Requirements
This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever
floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional
codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, we recommend
that the inside surfaces be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the firestops should be caulked to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked or stuffed with insulation. If the unit is being installed on a cement slab, we recommend that a layer of
plywood be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold
up into the room. Be sure to include spark arrestors for
woodburning units if they are required.
THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THA T ALL
CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINT AINED
AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS GUIDE.
Step 1. Locating the Fireplace
For space and clearance requirements for locating a fireplace within a room see Figure 2.
Clearance Requirements
The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is one inch (25 mm).
The back of the fireplace may be recessed 21 1/2 inches
(546 mm) into combustible construction.
NOTE: The distance from the unit to combustible construction is to be measured from the unit outer wrap
surface to the combustible construction, NOT from the
screw heads that secure the unit together.

This model is approved to use D-series direct vent pipe
components and terminations (see Figures 4 and 5). Approved vent system components are labeled for identification. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved component of the fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside an
enclosed wall. There is no requirement for inspection openings at each joint within the wall. There is no required pitch
for horizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMSOR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each
vent termination kit and should be used in conjunction
with this Installers Guide. The flame and ember appear-
ance may vary based on the type of fuel burned and the
venting configuration used.
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may include one, two, or three 90° elbow assemblies. The relationships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configurations using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The
rise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawings
and tables. Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one
90° elbow. Rise to run ratios in the vent system must
be followed if 45° elbows are used.
This model has vent starting collars on both the top and the
back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide
which ONE set of starting collars will be used to attach the
vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain on the starting collar NOT used.

NOTE: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes by a qualified installer
approved and/or licensed as required by the locality.
(In the state of Massachusetts installation must be
performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter).
NOTE: Before the first firing of the fireplace, the gas
supply line should be purged of any trapped air.
NOTE: Consult local building codes to properly size
the gas supply line leading to the 1/2 inch
(13 mm) hook-up at the unit.
This gas fireplace is designed to accept a 1/2 inch
(13 mm) gas supply line. To install the gas supply line:
• A listed (and State of Massachusetts approved) 1/2 inch
(13mm) tee-handle manual shut-off valve and a listed
flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch
(13mm) inlet of the control valve. NOTE: If substituting
for these components, please consult local codes for
compliance.
• Locate the gas line access hole in the outer casing of
the fireplace.
• The gas line may be run from either side of the fireplace
provided the hole in the outer wrap does not exceed 2 1/2”
in diameter and it does not penetrate the actual firebox.
• Open the fireplace lower grille, insert the gas supply line
through the gas line hole, and connect it to the shut-off
valve.
• When attaching the pipe, support the control so that the
lines are not bent or torn.
• After the gas line installation is complete, use a soap
solution to carefully check all gas connections for leaks.
Step 7. Gas Pressure Requirements
Pressure requirements for gas fireplaces are shown
in the table below.
Maximum Inlet14.0 inches14.0 inches
Gas Pressurew.c.w.c.
Manifold3.5 inches10.0 inches
Pressurew.c.w.c.
A one-eighth (1/8) inch (3 mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping is
provided on the inlet and outlet side of the gas control for a
test gauge connection to measure the manifold pressure.
Use a small flat blade screwdriver to crack open the screw
in the center of the tap. Position a rubber hose over the tap
to obtain the pressure reading.
The fireplace and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of one-half (1/2) psig (3.5 kPa).
The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than one-half (1/2) psig (3.5 kPa).
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME
!
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
• Insert insulation from the outside of the fireplace and
pack the insulation tightly to totally seal between the
pipe and the outer casing.
• At the gas line access hole the gap between the supply
piping and gas access hole can be plugged with noncombustible insulation to prevent cold air infiltration.

When you light your fireplace, you may notice:
This gas appliance produces heat which does have an asso-
ciated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may
require the initial 3-4 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.
u
During this break-in period it is recommended that some windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will help
avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any
odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
Additionally, for the first few minutes after each lighting, va-
por may condense and fog the glass and flames may be
blue. After a few minutes this moisture will disappear and
within 15-30 minutes the flames should become yellow.
Noise caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats
up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a
furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of your fireplace.

Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Step 13. Lighting the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent terminations or the front grilles.
Double-check that the grate shipping support was removed (see Step 10).
• Make sure that the grate is resting directly on the refractory.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE replaced with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the
fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.
WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S
!
MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND
WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.
After the Installation
LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH
!
THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unlessthe gasvalve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the initial
start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and
clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace for
an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.
u
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.

Maintaining and Servicing Your Fireplace
Fireplace Maintenance
Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and maintenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you
should have a qualified service technician perform an appliance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.
See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each
fireplace maintenance task.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING
YOUR FIREPLACE.
Replacing old ember material
Frequency: Once annually, during the checkup.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.
Replace old ember material with new dime-size and shape
pieces. New ember material should be placed on top of the
burner. Save the remaining ember material and repeat this
procedure at your next servicing. For more information, see
Placing Ember Material.
Checking Vent System
Frequency: Before initial use and at least annually
thereafter, more frequently if possible.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
Task: Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to
ensure that no debris is interfering with the flow of air. Inspect
entire vent system for proper function.
Cleaning Glass Door
Frequency: After the first 3 to 4 hours of use. As neces-
sary after initial cleaning.
By: Home owner.
Task: Remove and clean glass after the first 3 to 4 hours of
use. After the initial cleaning, clean as necessary, particularly after adding new ember (flame colorant) material. Film
deposits on the inside of the glass door should be cleaned
off using a household glass cleaner. NOTE: DO NOT handle
or attempt to clean the door when it is hot and DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning Burner and Controls
Frequency: Once annually.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush or vacuum the control compartment, fireplace
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
Task: Make a visual check of your fireplace’s flame patterns.
Make sure the flames are steady - not lifting or floating.
See Figure 41. The thermopile/thermocouple tips should
be covered with flame (See Figure 33).
MAKE SURE THE FLAMES
ARE STEADY—NOT
LIFTING OR FLOATING.

properly connected, replace the ignitor.
Using match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and trigger the red or
black piezo button again. If the pilot lights, an improper gas/air mixture caused the
bad lighting and a longer purge period is recommended. If the pilot will not light,
ensure the the gap at the electrode and pilot is one-eighth (1/8) inch to have a
strong spark. If the gap is OK, replace the pilot.
Check the remote shut-off valvess from the fireplace. Usually, there is a valve near
the gas main. There can be more than one (1) valve between the fireplace and the
main.
Check that the pilot flame impinges on the thermocouple. Clean and/or adjust the
pilot for maximum flame impingement.
Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully inserted and tight
(hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).
3. The pilot is
burning, there is no
gas burner, the valve
knob is in the ON
position, and the
ON/OFF switch is in
the ON position.
Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt meter lead wire on
the tip of the thermcouple and the other meter lead wire on the thermocouple
copper lead. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less
than 15mV, replace the thermocouple.
b. Defective valve.If the thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts, replace faulty valve.
a. ON/OFF switch or
wires defective.
b. Thermopile may
not be generating
sufficient millivoltage.
c. Defective valve.Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON
d. Plugged burner
orifice.
e. Wall switch or
wires are defective.
Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place the jumper
wires across the terminals at the switch. If the burner comes on, replace the
defective switch. If the switch is OK, place the jumper wires across the switch wires
at the gas valve. If the burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections are
bad.
If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the thermopile, adjust the pilot
flame.
Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve terminals are
tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the pilot bracket.
Check the thermopile with a millvolt meter. Take the reading at TH-TP&TP
terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 325 millivolts minimum, while
holding the valve knob depressed in the pilot position, with the pilot lit, and the
ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is
below the specified minimum.
With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads from the valve.
Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The reading should be 325 millivolts
minimum. Replace the thermopile if the reading is below the minimum.
position. Check the millivolt meter a 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.
Check the burner orifice for stoppage. Remove stoppage.
Follow the corrective action in Symptom and Possible Cause 1.a above. Check
the switch and wiring. Replace where defective.
