. Design, Installation & Location

Getting Started

Considerations

1. Appliance Location

Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, trafc
ow, 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 oor
protection, before actually beginning the installation. If you
are not using an existing chimney, place the appliance where
there will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney
through the outside wall or ceiling and roof.

Check with your local building code agency before you
begin your installation. Be sure local building codes do not
supersede UL specications 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 qualied 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
oor level, you will notice higher temperatures near the
appliance.

CAUTION

• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney ue servicing
another appliance.

• Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system.

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 re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:

1. Install at least one smoke detector on each oor 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.

. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least 2

escape routes.

4. A plan to deal with a hopper re as follows:

In the event of a hopper re:

a. Notify re department.
b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation.
c. Close all openings into the appliance.
d. Unplug appliance.
e. While awaiting re department, watch for ignition

of adjacent combustibles from overheated vent
pipe, hot embers or sparks from the chimney.

f. Po ur a bucket of wat er int o the appli ance

hopper.

F. Floor Protection

1. Zero Clearance Installations*
It is necessary to install a oor protection of non-combus-

tible material with a R value of .0 (1 inch [25mm] minimum
thickness with a “k” value of 0.58) or a 1 inch (25mm) air
space between insert base and hearth.

2. Non-Zero Clearance Installations*
A non-combustible oor protector is required with a mini-

mum R value of .0 (1 inch [25mm] minimum thickness with
a “k” value of 0.58) extending 6 inches (15mm) in front of
the insert and 8 inches (20mm) to each side of the door
opening.

* See alternate oor protection worksheet.

G. Calculating Alternate Floor Protection Material

Thermal Conductivity: k value

The k value indicates the amount of heat (in BTU’s) that will ow
in 1 hour through 1 square foot of a uniform material 1 inch thick
for each degree (F) of temperature difference from one side of
the material to the other. The LOWER the k factor means less
heat is being conducted through the non-combustible material to
the combustible material beneath it. The k value of a material
must be equal or smaller then the required k value to be accept­able.
(BTU) (inch)
(foot2 (hour) (oF)

Thermal Resistance: R value

The R value is a measure of a material’s resistance to heat
transfer. R value is convenient when more than one materi­al is used since you can add the R values together, whereas
you can not do this for k value. The HIGHER the R factor
means less heat is being conducted through the non-com­bustible material to the combustible material beneath it. The
R value of a material must be equal or larger then the re­quired R value to be acceptable.

Converting k to R:

Divide 1 by k and multiply the results times the thickness in inch­es of the material.

R = 1/k x inches of thickness

Converting R to k:

Divide the inches of thickness by R.

k = inches of thickness/R

Calculations:

Example: Floor protection requires k value of 0.84 and /4 inch
thick.

Alternative material has a k value of 0.6 and is /4 inch thick.

Divide 0.6 by .75 = k value of 0.80. This k value is smaller than

0.84 and therefore is acceptable.

H. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built

Firebox

• The rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails,
screen mesh and log grates can be removed from a
factory-built rebox in order to gain minimum insert
opening requirements.

• Any smoke shelves, shields and bafes may be
removed from a factory-built rebox if attached with
mechanical fasteners.

• The metal oor of the factory-built rebox may be
removed to facilitate the installation of the insert only
when a 1 inch (25mm) airspace is provided between
the insert and the oor of outer wrap.

• If the oor is made of thin metal, we recommend using

Vent Information

A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection

1. Chimney & Connector: Use  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 ue connector. A Quadra-Fire Outside
Air Kit must be used with manufactured home installa­tions.

3. Residential: Use 24 gauge single wall ue connector or

listed double wall ue 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  screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with
at least  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 eld corn, you must use approved
venting specically designed for corn. Follow the instruc-

tions 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

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 (05mm) above.

. Distance from permanently closed windows:

a. Not less than 12 inches (05mm) below, horizontally

from or above.

4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade

should be 12 inches (05mm) 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 (214mm) 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 softs.

• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches (05mm) minimum.

• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.

D. Pipe Selection Chart

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. See Figure 13.2.

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,  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
requried.

The chart reveals that a 90° elbow is 5 times as
restrictive to the ow 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.
