PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
There are four types of direct vent system installations approved for use with the DV40 Step. It is very
important to maintain a balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust venting
system. The types of installation are:
Horizontal Termination (Figure 1, Pg. 11) Vertical Termination (Figure 2, Pg. 11)
Into a Class A Metal Chimney (Figure 3, Pg. 11)* Into a Masonry Chimney (Figure 4, Pg. 11)*
*USA installations only
Note: Certain limitations as to vent and vertical termination configuration apply, and must be
strictly adhered to.
When planning your installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe for your
particular requirements. The vent graph on page 15 will show the relationship between vertical and
horizontal side wall venting, and will help to determine the various vent lengths permitted. It is also important
to note the wall thickness. Select the amount of vertical rise desired for “vertical-to-horizontal” type
installations. To determine the length of your pipe required for vertical installations, measure the distance
from the application flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second
story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the roofline. For two-story applications, fire stops are
required at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe and elbows will be required.
When determining the position of the stove, be sure to adhere to minimum clearance to combustibles to
the appliance itself. (See page 14.)
When installing this appliance into an existing masonry chimney, it is important to carefully measure the
length of flex needed to reach from the appliance outlet to the termination cap. If the flex length is too
short, a flex coupler will be needed to attach an additional length of flex liner to make up the difference. If
the flex length is too long, the liner could sag below the appliance outlet, which could result in an airflow
restriction causing flow reversal or flame lift.

HOW TO USE VENT GRAPH
1. Measure the distance from the top of stove to the center of the 90° elbow. On the graph below, draw
a horizontal line from that measurement on the vertical axis across until it intersects with the slanted
line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.
3. The point at which this line meets the bottom line of the graph is the maximum length of the horizontal
run.
Example 1: If the vertical dimension from the top of the stove to the center of the 90° elbow is 7’ (2.13m),
the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 9’ 9” (2.97m).
Example 2: If the vertical dimension from the top of the stove is 21’ (6.4m), the horizontal run to the outer
wall flange must not exceed 7’ 3” (2.21m).
Note: The maximum horizontal vent run is 15’ (4.57m) when the vertical vent rise is 10’ (3.05m).
The minimum horizontal vent run is 11” (279mm).
Minimum wall thickness is 4” (102mm). Maximum wall thickness is 20” (508mm).

VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE: In order to comply with applicable codes and product warranties, only Simpson Dura-
Vent venting components may be used. DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING COMPONENTS.
The Quadra-Fire DV40 Step is approved to be vented either through the side wall or vertically through the
roof. You may vent through a Class A or masonry chimney if a Simpson Dura-Vent adapter is used (for
USA installations only). Only Simpson Dura-Vent components labeled and listed in this section may be
used.
IMPORTANT
Read all these instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow instructions may
create a fire or other safety hazard, and will void the warranty . Be sure to follow these installation instructions
for venting and clearance to combustible requirements, which may vary from one installation to another.
Do not extend the venting system in excess of the distance prescribed in these manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The Quadra-Fire DV40 Step is an engineered product that has been designed and tested. The warranty
will be voided, and serious fire, health, or other safety hazards may result from any of the following
actions: installation of any damaged venting component, unauthorized modification of the venting system,
installation of any component part not approved by Aladdin Hearth Products, or installation other than as
instructed by these instructions. Consult your local building codes before beginning this installation.
Any vertical termination greater than 10’ (ten feet) needs a restrictor strap placed in the top of the 4” (four
inch) exhaust outlet of the appliance. Any horizontal termination with greater than 10’ (ten feet) of vertical
rise requires this same restrictor strap. (See Pg. 45, Restrictor strap part #842-3330).
WARNING: Always maintain the required clearances (air space) to nearby combustibles to avoid creating
a fire hazard. Do not fill air
surfaces is 1” (25mm), except where stated otherwise. Be sure to check the vent termination clearance
requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways, as specified
in these installation instructions and local building codes. (Refer to page 18 for horizontal installation
instructions.)
The gas stove and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be
attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. This direct vent gas stove
must use its own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
