5Quadra-Fire • Expression 36 (QV36A-FB) • 2062-900 Rev. S • 11/11

Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations

Quadra-Fire direct vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No additional outside air source is required.

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

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

• Consult local building, ﬁ re ofﬁ cials or authorities having jurisdic- tion about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.

When planning an appliance installation, it’s necessary to determine the following information before installing:

• Where the appliance is to be installed.

• The vent system conﬁ guration to be used.

• Gas supply piping.

• Electrical wiring.

• Framing and ﬁ nishing details.

• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall switch, or remote control—are desired.

C. Inspect Appliance and Components

WARNING

Inspect appliance and components for damage. Damaged parts may impair safe operation.

• Do NOT install damaged components.

• Do NOT install incomplete components.

• Do NOT install substitute components. Report damaged parts to dealer.

• Carefully remove the appliance and components from the packaging.

• The vent system components and trim doors are shipped in separate packages.

• The gas logs may be packaged separately and must be ﬁ eld installed.

• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of the glass.

• Read all of the instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to ensure maximum safety and beneﬁ t.

WARNING

Keep appliance dry.

• Mold or rust may cause odors.

• Water may damage controls.

B. Tools and Supplies Needed

Before beginning the installation be sure that the following tools and building supplies are available.

Reciprocating saw Framing material Pliers Noncorrosive leak check solution Hammer Gloves Phillips screwdriver Framing square Flat blade screwdriver Electric drill and bits (1/4 in.) Plumb line Safety glasses Level Tape measure Manometer Voltmeter 1/2 - 3/4 inch length, #6 or #8 Self-drilling screws Caulking material (300ºF minimum continuous exposure rating)

Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility for, and the warranty will be voided by, the following actions:

• Installation and use of any damaged appliance or vent system component.

• Modiﬁ cation of the appliance or vent system.

• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home Technologies.

Any such action may cause a ﬁ re hazard.

Quadra-Fire • Expression 36 (QV36A-FB) • 2062-900 Rev. S • 11/116

D. Inspect Firebox

Surface cracking or crazing of ﬁ rebrick material is normal and expected. The following types of cracks are acceptable and do not require replacement of the unit or the ﬁ rebox:

• Cracks that do not propagate entirely through the

material.

• Light fracture lines or “spider-webbing” on the surface of

the material.

• Cracks that are less than 1/32 in. wide and less than 3

in. long.

• If cosmetically unacceptable, such cracks may be

repaired with the SRV-PACK service kit. See Service Parts List.

Cracks that are unacceptable:

• Cracks greater than 1/32 in. wide and 3 in. long are at

risk of growing.

• Cracks that penetrate entirely through the firebrick

material.

Inspection for cracking should be run when the appliance is cool. Cracks tend to close as the appliance heats up.

B. Constructing the Appliance Chase

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the gas appliance 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.

Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be checked.

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.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever ﬂ oor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air inﬁ ltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold air inﬁ ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.

To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling ﬁ restops should be caulked with caulk with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with caulk with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room.

B. Wall Penetration Framing

Combustible Wall Penetration

Frame a hole in a combustible wall for an interior wall shield ﬁ restop, (Figure 6.2) whenever a wall is penetrated. Use same size framing materials as those used in the wall construction. The wall shield ﬁ restop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold air inﬁ ltration.

Non-Combustible Wall Penetration

If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncombustible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter one inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.

Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall shield ﬁ restop is only required on one side and no heat shield is necessary.

If your local inspector requires the wall shield ﬁ restop on both sides, then both wall shield ﬁ restops must have a heat shield attached to them.

WARNING

Fire Risk Exhaust Fumes Risk Impaired Performance of Appliance

• Overlap pipe slip sections at least 1-1/2 inches.

• Use pilot holes for screws.

• Screws must not exceed one inch long.

• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Attaching Vent to the Firebox Assembly

T o attach the ﬁ rst pipe section to the collars, slide the male end of the inner vent of the pipe section over the inner collar on the ﬁ rebox assembly. At the same time, slide the outer ﬂ ue over the outer collar on the appliance. Push the pipe section into the appliance collar until all the lances (see Figure 8.2) have snapped in place. Tug slightly on the section to conﬁ rm it has completely locked into place.

Make sure that the ﬁ berglass rope ring supplied in the manual bag seals between the ﬁ rst vent component and the outer appliance wrap (see Figure 8.1)

Assembling Pipe Sections

Insert the inner ﬂ ue of section A into the ﬂ ared inner ﬂ ue of section B.

Start the outer ﬂ ue of section A over the outer ﬂ ue of section B (see Figure 8.3). Note: The end of the pipe sections with the lances/tabs on it will face towards the appliance. Once both inner and outer ﬂ ues are started, press section A onto section B ﬁ rmly until all lances have snapped into place. Check to make sure they have snapped together (see Figure 8.4) and the seams are not aligned (see Figure 8.5). Tug slightly on section A to conﬁ rm it has completely locked into place. It is acceptable to use screws no longer than 1 inch to hold outer pipe sections together. If predrilling holes, do NOT penetrate inner pipe.

For 90° and 45° elbows that are changing the vent direction from horizontal to vertical, one screw minimum should be put in the outer ﬂ ue at the horizontal elbow joint to prevent the elbow from rotating. Use screws no longer than 1 inch. If predrilling screw holes, do NOT penetrate inner pipe.

FIRST VENT COMPONENT

FIBERGLASS ROPE RING

Commercial, Multi-family (Multi-level exceeding two stories), & High-Rise Applications

For Installation into Commercial, multi-family (multi-level exceeding two stories) or high-rise applications: All pipe joints must be sealed with silicone with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating, including the slip section that connects directly to the horizontal termination cap.

• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer pipe joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 8.2

• Only outer pipes are sealed. Do not seal the inner ﬂ ue. All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer ﬂ ues shall be sealed in this manner, unless otherwise stated.

Assembling DVP-12A Slip Sections

The outer ﬂ ue of the slip section should slide over the outer ﬂ ue of the pipe section and into (inner ﬂ ue) the last pipe

section (see Figure 8.7) . Slide together to the desired length, making sure that a

1-1/2 inch outer ﬂ ue overlap is maintained between the pipe section and slip section.

The pipe and slip section need to be secured by driving two screws through the overlapping portions of the outer ﬂ ues using the pilot holes (see Figure 8.8).

This will secure the slip section to the desired length and prevent it from separating. The slip section can then be attached to the next pipe section.

If the slip section is too long, the inner and outer ﬂ ues of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.

C. After Appliance is Lit

Initial Break-in Procedure

When you light the appliance, you may notice that it produces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to four 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. Condensation of the glass is normal.

CAUTION

• Prevent accidental appliance operation when not attended.

• Unplug or remove batteries from remote control if absent or if appliance will not be used for an extended period of time.

• Property damage possible from elevated temperatures.

Note: The appliance should be run three to four 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 appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to cure the products used in the paint and logs.

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 appliance’s initial burning.

WARNING

Fire Risk. High Temperatures. Keep combustible household items away from

appliance. Do NOT obstruct combustion and ventilation air.

• Do NOT place combustible items on top of or in front of appliance.

• Keep furniture, draperies away from appliance.

CAUTION

Smoke and odors released during initial operation.

• Open windows for air circulation.

• Leave room during initial operation.

• Smoke may set off smoke detectors.

Smoke and odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

WARNING

Fire Hazard. Keep combustible materials, gasoline and

other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids clear of appliance.

• Do NOT store ﬂ ammable materials in the appliance’s vicinity.

• Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter ﬂ uid or similar liquids in this appliance.

• Combustible materials may ignite.

D. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUE SOLUTIONS

Condensation on the glass

Blue ﬂ ames

Odor from appliance

Film on the glass

Metallic noise

Is it normal to see the pilot ﬂ ame burn continually?

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this condensation will disappear.

This is a result of normal operation and the ﬂ ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is al- lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

When ﬁ rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the ﬁ rst several hours. This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from ﬁ nishing materials and adhesives used around the appliance.

This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas ﬁ replace glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.

Noise is 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 the appliance.

In an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot ﬂ ame should turn off when appliance is turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot ﬂ ame to remain lit.

Hearth & Home Technologies Inc.

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

Hearth & Home Technologies Inc., on behalf of its hearth brands (”HHT”), extends the following warranty for HHT gas, wood, pellet, coal and electric hearth appliances that are purchased from an HHT authorized dealer.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered components manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period, HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.

WARRANTY PERIOD:

Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent, authorized HHT dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for parts and labor for covered components is produced in the following table.

The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These time periods reflect the minimum expected useful lives of the designated components under normal operating conditions.
