SAFETY NOTICES
Many of the components within this replace are designed
specically for safety purposes. It is therefore imperative
that only certified gas service technicians install and
service this replace.
Main Burner Operation:
A millivolt system controls the operation of this
fireplace. The thermopile and thermocouple generate
electricity when heated by the pilot ame. This electricity is
used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the
gas valve will not turn on. That is why when starting the pilot
the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the
thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The
thermopile provides power for the ON/OFF switch, remote
control, or thermostat. Because the thermopile generates
the electricity needed to turn the replace on and off, this
replace can be operated when the power is out (although
the blower will not run).
Gas Buildup Prevention Feature:
This appliance’s utilization of a high-technology gas
valve in conjunction with a pilot ame ensures that no gas
builds up inside the rebox.
The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the
pilot ame is lit. If the pilot ames goes out, this thermocouple
no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to
automatically shut off all gas to the heater, preventing the
pilot from spilling gas into the rebox.
• Strict adherence to the instructions in this manual must
be followed. Improper installation will void the warranty
and safety listing.
• This appliance is manufactured to operate on natural
gas (NG). It is eld convertible to propane (LP) with the
manufacturers’ conversion kit included with replace.
Burning incorrect fuel voids the warranty and safety listing

GENERAL 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 QFP30 Fireplace is approved to be vented
either horizontally, 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 on this page may be used.
This replace is a direct vent heater. All combustion air must
come directly from the outside of the building. The vent pipe
for this unit consists of an inner and an outer pipe. The inner
pipe carries the stove exhaust out of the system, and the outer
pipe brings fresh combustion air into the stove.
A wall thimble is optional when the venting passes through a
wall. A support box or restop is required when the venting
passes through a ceiling. Roof ashing and a storm collar
are required when venting passes through the roof. Follow
instructions provided with the vent for installation of these
items.
IMPORTANT
Read all these instructions carefully before starting the
installation. Failure to follow instructions may create a re or
other safety hazard, and will void the warranty. Be sure to
follow these installation instructions for venting and clearance
VENTING
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. This gas appliance must not be
connected to a chimney ue serving a separate solid-fuel
burning appliance. Venting terminations shall not be
recessed into a wall or siding.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The Quadra-Fire QFP 30 Fireplace is an engineered product
that has been designed and tested. The warranty will be
voided, and serious re, health, or other safety hazards may
result from any of the following actions: Installation of any
damaged venting component, unauthorized modication 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.
WARNING: Always maintain the required clearances (air
space) to nearby combustibles to avoid creating a re
hazard. Do not ll air space with insulation. Minimum
clearance between vent pipes and combustible surfaces
is 1-1/2" (50mm). Be sure to check the vent termination
clearance requirements from decks, windows, softs,
gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways,
as specied on page 19 of these installation instructions
and local building codes.
The gas replace 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 replace must use its own separate vent
system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

VENTING INSTALLATION OPTIONS & GUIDELINES
There are four types of direct vent system installations
approved for use with the QFP 30. It is very important to
maintain a balance between the combustion air intake and
the ue gas exhaust venting system. The types of installation
are:
TERMINATION CAP REQUIREMENTS
For Horizontal Terminations Use Only DuraVent Part
#985, OR HTI Part #HHW2
Horizontal Termination (Figure 1)
Vertical Termination (Figure 2)
Into a Class A Metal Chimney (Figure 3)*
Into a Masonry Chimney (Figure 4)*
*USA installations only
Note: Certain limitations as to vent and vertical termination
conguration apply, and must be strictly adhered to. Read
this manual carefully.
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 18 will show the
relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting,
and will help you to determine the various vent lengths
permitted and to select the amount of vertical rise desired for
“vertical-to-horizontal” type installations. It is also important
to note the wall thickness.To determine the length of pipe
required for vertical installations, measure the distance from
the application ue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling thickness,
the vertical rise in an attic or second story, and allow for
sufcient vent height above the rooine, (see 2-10-3 Rule
below.) For two-story applications, re stops are required at
each oor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional
pipe and elbows will be required.
For Vertical Terminations Use Only DuraVent Part
#991.
FIG. 1 HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
VENTING
FIG. 2 VERTICAL TERMINATION
When installing this appliance into an existing masonry
chimney, it is important to carefully measure the length of ex
needed to reach from the appliance outlet to the termination
cap. If the ex length is too short, a ex coupler will be needed
to attach an additional length of ex liner to make up the
difference. If the ex length is too long, the liner could sag
below the appliance outlet, which could result in a potential
re hazard.
A masonry chimney or a factory-built chimney must be
the required height above the roof and any other nearby
obstructions. The chimney must be at least three feet higher
than the highest point where it passes through the roof and
at least two feet higher than the highest part of the roof or
structure that is within ten feet of the chimney, measured
horizontally. See 2-10-3 diagram below. These are safety
requirements and are not meant to assure proper ue draft.

1. Measure the distance from the top of stove to the center
of the 90° elbow. On the graph below, draw a horizontal
VENTING
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 ange
must not exceed 7’ 3" (2.21m).

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
NOTE:
1. Horizontal sections require a 1/4" (6mm) rise
for every 1’ (305mm) of horizontal travel. Never
allow the vent to run downward. This could
cause high temperatures and may present the
possibility of a re.
2. Exterior Vent Diameter = 6 5/8" (177mm);
3. Inner Vent Diameter = 4" (101mm)
4. Horizontal sections require noncombustible
support every 3' (914mm) , e.g. plumbing tape.
5. The location of the horizontal vent termination on
an exterior wall must meet all local and national
building codes, and must not be easily blocked
or obstructed, see page 19.
6. For installations requiring a vertical rise on the
exterior of the building, 14" (356mm) and 36"
(914mm) tall snorkel terminations are available.
Follow the same installation procedures as
used for standard horizon tal termination s.
If the snorkel termination must be installed
below grade (i.e. basement application), proper
drainage must be provided to prevent water
from entering the snorkel termination. Do not
backll around snorkel termination.
Step 1. Determine the desired location of the replace.
Check to ensure that wall studs or roof rafters
are not in the way when the venting system is
attached. If this is the case, you may want to
adjust the location of the stove.
Note:Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations, located on
the female ends of pipes and ttings, are designed to slide
straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and ttings by
orienting the four pipe indentations so they match and slide
into the four entry slots on the male ends, see Fig.5 below.
Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock
one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn, until the
two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs will not
be visible from the outside, on the pipe or ttings. They may be
located by examining the inside of the female ends.
Step 3. With any vertical pipe required for your installation,
and the 45° elbow attached to the flue outlet,
measure the distance from the base of the ZC
appliance to the center of the 45° elbow, adding
1/4" rise for every 1' of horizontal venting, as
referenced in Note 1, below. Measure this height
at the correct wall location for your installation,
maintaining minimum clearance to combustibles,
and mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (254mm x 254mm)
square hole. The center of the square hole should
line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe,
as shown in Figure 7. Cut and frame the hole in
the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
no ncombustible materia l, i.e. masonr y bloc k
or concrete, a 7" (178mm) diameter hole is
acceptable.
Step 2. Simpson Dura-Vent pipe is designed with special
VENTING
twist-lock connections. To connect the venting
system to th e stove flue outl et, a twist-lock
adapter is built into the stove at the factory.
Remember to include wall thickness in minimum
clearances when guring the measurements for
your installation needs.

Step 4. Position the horizontal vent termination in the center
of the 10" (254mm) square hole, run a bead of
non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, so
as to make a seal between it and the wall, attach
termination cap to the exterior wall with the four
wood screws provided. The arrow on the vent
cap should be pointing up. Figure 7. Insure that
proper clearances to combustible materials are
maintained.
FIG. 7
Step 5. Slide the stove and vent assembly (see Fig.
9 below) towards the wall, carefully inserting
the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is
important that the vent pipe extend into the vent
cap a sufficient distance so as to result in a
minimum pipe overlap of 1" (32mm). Secure
the connection between the vent pipe and the
vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips
extending from the vent cap assembly into the
outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet
metal screws provided to connect the strips to the
pipe section. (Figure 9).
Note: The attachment from the vent pipe to the vent cap
must be siliconed.

NOTE:
(1) The four wood screws provided should be replaced
wi th appro priate fas teners for stucc o, brick,

(2) Vent terminal shall not be recessed into a wall
or siding.
(3) If you are using Simpson DuraVent termination cap
#985 on a building with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding
standoff (Simpson Dura-Vent Part #950), should
be installed between the vent cap and the exterior
wall (Figure 8). Attach the vinyl siding standoff to
the horizontal vent termination. The vinyl siding
standoff prevents excessive heat from possibly
melting the vinyl siding material. Remove siding
from beneath area of standoff.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
USING GS SERIES PIPE
Step 1. Check the installation instructions for required
1" clearances (air space) to combustibles when
passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures,
attic rafters, or other nearby combustible surfaces.
See page 24, Fig. 16. Do not pack air space
with insulation. Check the instructions below for
maximum vertical rise of the venting system, and
any maximum horizontal offset limitations. All
offsets must fall within the set parameters of the
vent graph located on page 18.
NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 40'. Figure 10.
NOTE: Maximum number of 45° elbows permitted for
a vertical installation is eight, provided their
installation does not decrease maximum vertical
rise (as speciedby Vent graph, on page 16).
FIG. 10
VENTING
FIG. 12
NOTE: Maximum number of 90° elbows permitted for a
vertical installation is four, provided the termination
falls within the shaded area shown in vent graph on
page 18. See also Figure 12 above. ADDITIONAL
RESTRICTION: This installation may not have two
horizontal sections connected by 90° elbows.
Step 2. Set the gas stove in its desired location. Drop a
plumb bob down from the ceiling to the position of
the stove ue exit, and mark the location where the
vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at
this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to
the hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and mark
the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof.
Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other
framing will obstruct the venting system. You
may wish to relocate the stove, or to offset, as
shown in Figure 11, to avoid cutting loadbearing
members.
Step 3. To install the round support box/wall thimble in
a at ceiling, cut a 10" (254mm) square hole in
the ceiling, centered on the hole drilled in Step 2.
Frame the hole as shown in Figure 13.

as outlined in the current CAN/CGA-Bl49 Installation
Codes (in Canada), the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in USA), or local codes.
Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height
must be increased. In high wind conditions, nearby
trees adjoining rooines, steep pitched roofs, and
other similar factors can result in poor draft, or
down drafting. In these cases increasing the vent
height may solve this problem.
VENTING
NOTE:
(1) For multi-story vertical installations, a ceiling
restop (SDV part #963) is required at the second
oor, and any subsequent oors (Figure 16). The
opening should be framed to 10" x 10" (254mm x
254mm) inside dimensions, in the same manner
as shown in Figure 13.
(2) Any occupied areas above the rst oor, including
closets and storage spaces, which the vertical
vent passed through must be enclosed. The
enclosure may be framed and sheetrocked with
standard construction materials; however, refer
to these installation instructions for the minimum
allowable clearance between the outside of the
vent pipe and the combustible surfaces of the
enclosure. Do not ll any of the required air space
with insulation.

NOTE:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid
obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe
every 3' (914mm) to avoid excessive stress on the
elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are
available for this purpose (Figure 11).
(2) Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the
ow of ue gases and intake air.
Step 6. Slip the ashing over the pipe section(s) protruding
through the roof. Secure the base of the ashing
to the roof with roong nails. Insure the roong
material overlaps the top edge of the ashing as
shown in Figure 14.
Min. 1-1/2” Clearance is for
either vertical or horizontal instal-
lations.
3-1/4” clearance is required for
installations that use a chase
only.
Step 4. Assemble the desired lengths of GS pipe and
elbows necessary to reach from the stove up
through the round support box. Ensure that all
pipe and elbow connections are in their fully
twist-locked position. Be sure to seal the outer
pipe with appropriate sealant (high temperature
silicone).
Step 5. Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drill hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole
should be of sufcient size to meet the minimum
requirements for clearance to combustibles, as
specied. Continue to assemble lengths of pipe
and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling
support box up through the roof line. Galvanized
pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as
well as above the rooine. The galvanized nish
is desirable above the rooine, due to its higher
corrosion resistance.

through the ceiling and roof at this point. From the
roof, locate the drill hole and mark the outline of
the cathedral ceiling support box.
Step 3. Remove shingles or other roof covering as neces-
sary to cut the rectangular hole for the support box.
Cut the hole 1/8" (3mm) larger than the support
box outline.
Step 4. Lower the support box through the hole in the roof
until the bottom of the box protrudes at least 2"
(51mm) below the ceiling (Figure 17). Align the
support box both vertically and horizontally with
a leve l. Tem porar ily tack the support box in
place through the inside walls and into the roof
sheathing.
Step 5. Using tin snips, cut the support box from the top
corners down to the rooine, and fold the resulting
aps over the roof sheathing (Figure 18). Before
nailing it to the roof, run a bead of non-hardening
mastic around the top edges of the support box
to make a seal between it and the roof. Clean
out any combustible material from inside the

Step 1. Remove existing chimney cap.
Step 2. Measure the distance from the top of the chimney
to the bottom of the ceiling support box, add 3"
(76mm) to this measurement, and cut a section of
4" (102mm) ex pipe to that length (the ex should
be extended to its nominal length).
Step 3. Connect the end of the ex pipe section to the
underside of the top adapter (SDV #985K, 986K
or 987K), using three sheet metal screws (Figure
19).
Step 4. Pass the ex pipe down through the center of the
chimney system, and center the top adapter on
the top of the chimney pipe. Drill four 1/8" (3.3mm)
diameter holes through the top adapter, and into
the chimney top. Ensure that you are drilling into
the metal on the chimney. Twist lock the high wind

Step 1. Before cutting any holes, assemble the desired
sections of direct vent pipe to determine the center
of the masonry penetration.
Step 2. Once the center point of the penetration has been
determined, cut a 6" (152mm) diameter hole in the
masonry. If the hole is too large, the retro connector
might not mount properly; if the hole is too small,
the appliance might starve for intake air. If there
is a frame wall in front of the masonry wall, cut
and frame a 10" (254mm) square opening in the
wall (centered around the 6" [152mm] masonry
opening). If there is sheet rock only (no studs) in
front of the masonry the 10" (254mm) opening is
still needed, but does not need to be framed. This
allows the retro connector to mount directly on the
masonry and provide the correct clearances to
combustibles (see Figure 22).
Step 3. Secure the ashing (SDV #705C) to the top of the
masonry chimney using a bead of non-hardening
sealant-adhesive. If the ashing is larger than the
top of the chimney, cut and fold ashing as needed
to t chimney (Figure 23).
FIG. 22
FIG. 23
VENTING
Step 4. To determine the length of ex needed, measure
from 3" (76mm) above the top of the ashing down
to the level of the opening. Add the distance from
the center of the chimney out through the wall. Cut a
piece of 4" (102mm) ex to this length (extended to
its nominal length). Be sure to leave 2"-3" (51mm76mm) of ex above the existing chimney to allow
for connection to the termination kit.
Step 5. Connect the ex liner to the top adapter using three
sheet metal screws (see Figure 19, page 26).
Step 6. Feed the ex liner through the ashing into the
chimney. Carefully feed the flex liner down the
chimney to the bottom and out the opening in the
masonry wall, forming an angle to line up the ex
liner with the vent opening on the appliance.
WARNING: Do not let the ex liner sag below
Step 7. If additional lengths of ex liner are needed to span
the level at which it will connect to the appliance
or connector. This co uld allow hot gas to
become trapped and potentially become a re
hazard. The ex liner path should always be
sloped up toward the termination cap.

the pieces of ex liner together. Connect the ex
to the coupler by using four sheet metal screws for
each side (Figure 24).

adapter into the ange on the ashing (Figure 25).
Twist lock the high wind termination cap (SDV
#991) on to the top adapter.
Step 9. Attach the ex to the retro connector. Use three
sheet metal screws to attach the ex liner to the
connector (Figure 26). Mount the retro connector
to the masonry wall using masonry bolts. Redrill
larger holes on connector as needed. Be careful
to ensure that the connector is centered in the
opening and the mounting holes line up with the
masonry wall.
Step 10. Slide wall thimble cover (SDV #940) over retro
connector and secure with masonry bolts (Figure
27). If you have a framed wall in front of the
masonry, use wood screws to mount wall thimble
cover to framed wall, over retro connector and
10" (254mm) square framed opening (Figure 22).
If needed, add a section of direct vent pipe to the
retro connector in order to extend through the
opening in the wall thimble cover.

WARNING: If any o ther appliances
have been previously attached to this
masonary ue or an open replace, etc.,
all openings into ue should be sealed
properly. it is very important that there
is only one appliance on a vent system
and that there are no air leaks into the
masonry chimney itself other than the

screw on right side of damper handle. Loosen screw and slide
handle either in or out to adjust.
Push handle in to CLOSE down exhaust ow.
Pull handle out to OPEN exhaust ow.
When desired flame appearance is obtained tighten
screw.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Blower....................... The replace uses a 160 cfm
blower to circulate heated air
into the living area. It produces a
whirring sound which increases
in volume as the speed is
increased.
Pilot Flame................ The pilot ame remains on con-
stantly and makes a “whisper”
sound.
Gas control valve..... As the valve opens and shuts
down it will click.
Burner pan................ The burner pan is located
beneath the logs. It distributes
the gas producing a clean, efcient and aesthetic burn. As
the main burner gets up to temperature a creaking sound will
be heard. This is the expansion
of the metal. The sound will
cease once the replace is up
to temperature but may return
upon cool down.
Blower snap disc .....This part may produce a clicking
sound as the blower turns on
and off.
Heat Exchanger........ A normal expansion and con-
traction sound may be heard.
ADJUSTMENTS/OPERATING SOUNDS
