Getting Started

 

A.Design, Installation & Location Considerations

Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you must consider the location of:

• Windows

1. Appliance Location

Notice: Check building codes prior to installation.

Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

Air Intakes

Air Conditioner

Overhang, soffits, porch roofs, adjacent walls

Landscaping, vegetation

When locating vent and venting termination, vent above roof line when possible.

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation

Consideration must be given to:

Safety, convenience, traffic flow

Placement of the chimney and chimney connector.

Warning! Risk of Fire Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.

CAUTION! If burning shelled field corn, you must use approvedventingspecificallydesignedforcorntopreventcorrosion or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting manufacturer.

• If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appli-

B. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney

Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance.

Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die-down of the fire.

Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the effects of wind loading.

Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.

Minimize the use of chimney offsets.

Consider the appliance location relative to floor and ceiling and attic joists.

Take into consideration the termination requirements on

Page 11.

E. Negative Pressure

Warning! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot.

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the appliance to operate properly. It can be strongest in lower levels of the house.

Causes include:

Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)

Range hoods

Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters and other combustion appliances

Clothes dryers

Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning

Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system

CAUTION

Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing another appliance.

Do NOT connect to any air distributon duct or system.

C. 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.

D. Draft

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances successfully. When an appliance is drafting successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the chimney.

Considerations for successful draft include:

Preventing negative pressure

Location of appliance and chimney

Notice: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the chimney system caused by:

Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions

Downdrafts

Tight sealing construction of the structure

Mechanical exhausting devices

Upper level air leaks such as:

-Recessed lighting

-Attic hatch

-Duct leaks

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:

Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing winds during the heating season

Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances and exhaust equipment

Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance

Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or small isolated spaces

Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design

Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed

Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed

WARNING

Fire Hazard.

Do not operate appliance before reading and understanding operating instructions.

Failure to operate appliance properly may cause a house fire.

F. Fire Safety

To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home.

Locate smoke detector away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas.

Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions and maintain regularly.

Conveniently locate a Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires.

In the event of a hopper fire:

Evacute the house immediately.

G. Calculating Alternate Floor Protection Material

H. Prefabricated Metal Chimney

Thermal Conductivity: k value

The k value indicates the amount of heat (in BTU’s) that will flow 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-com- bustible 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 3/4 inch thick.

Alternative material has a k value of 0.6 and is 3/4 inch thick.

Divide 0.6 by .75 = k value of 0.80. This k value is smaller than 0.84 and therefore is acceptable.

The chimney can be new or existing, masonry or prefabricated and must meet the following minimum requirements:

•Must be minimum 6 inch (152mm) inside diameter of high temperature chimney listed to UL 103 HT (2100oF) or ULC-S628.

•Must use components required by the manufacturer for installation.

•Must maintain clearances required by the manufacturer for installation.

•Refer to manufacturers instructions for installation

•This insert is listed to UL 1482 Standard and is approved for installation into listed factory-built zero clearance fireplaces listed to UL 127 conforming to the following specifications and instructions:

•The original factory-built clearance fireplace chimney cap must be re-installed after installing the approved chimney liner meeting type UL 103 HT requirements (2100°F) per UL 1777.

•If the chimney is not listed as meeting HT requirements, or if the factory built fireplace was tested prior to 1998, a full height listed chimney liner must be installed from the appliance flue collar to the chimney top.

•The liner must be securely attached to the insert flue collar and the chimney top.

•The air flow of the factory-built zero-clearance fireplace system must not be altered. The flue liner top support attachment must not reduce the air flow for the existing air-cooled chimney system.

•No dilution air is allowed to enter the chimney.

1.Secure the fireplace damper in the open position. If this cannot be accomplished, it will be necessary to remove the damper

2.Seal damper area of chimney around chimney connector with a high temperature sealant or seal insert against the face of the fireplace.

3.Both methods must be removable and replaceable for cleaning and re-installation.

I.Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox

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 inch (25mm) airspace is provided between the insert and the floor of outer wrap.

If the floor is made of thin metal, we recommend using a Quarda-Fire floor protector, Part 811-0730, which is available through your dealer.

Starter hole

Mark area of floor to cut

Figure 12.1. Measure and mark the metal floor for cutting. With a drill, make a starter hole in each corner.

J. Altering the Factory-Built Fireplace

The fireplace must not be altered, except for the exceptions listed below. Do not removal the bricks and mortar from the existing fireplace.

The following modifications are premissible:

Removal of damper or locked in open position

Removal of smoke shelf or baffle

Removal of ember catches

Removel of fire grate

Removal of view screen/curtain

Removal of doors

External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the fireplace may be removed providing they can be stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly if the insert is removed.

The permanent metal warning label provided must be attached to the back of the fireplace, with screws or nails, stating that the fireplace may have been altered to accommodate the insert, and must be returned to original condition for use as a conventional fireplace. Figure

12.4.

If the hearth extension is lower than the fireplace opening, the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must be supported.

Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit can be ordered from your dealer.

Final approval of this installation type is contingent upon the authority having jurisdiction.

NOTE: Refer to chimney liner manufacturer for recommendations on supporting the liner. Installation into fireplaces without a permit will void the listing

WARNING! Risk of Fire!

Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances and instructions when installing venting system.

Vent Information

 

 

 

 

 

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. If using the 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit or the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent OffsetAdapter, use Listed double wall flue connector. A Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit must be used with manufactured home installations.

3.Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) verticalTop VentAdapter Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm)Top Vent OffsetAdapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall flue connector or Listed double wall flue connector to Class A Listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) standards 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.

6.DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

7.DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F [260°C] minimum rated only). Do not put silicone inside of pipe.

NOTE: If burning shelled field corn, you must use approved venting specifically designed for corn. Follow the instructions from the venting manufacturer.

WARNING

Fire Hazard.

Only LISTED venting components may be used.

NO OTHER vent components may be used. Substitute or damaged vent components may impair safe operation.

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 (1.5m) 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 (1.2m) below;

b.Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) 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 (2.1m) 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.

WARNING

Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns if touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.

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.

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 14.2.

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 requried.

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.
