Approvals and Codes

Appliance Certification

The Quadra-Fire appliance discussed in this Installers Guide has been tested to certification standards and listed by the applicable laboratories.

Certification

MODEL: QVI-30FB LABORA TOR Y: Underwriters Laboratories TYPE: Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters ST ANDARD:

ANSI Z21.88-2002•CSA2.33-2002•UL307B

Installation Codes

The appliance installation must conform to local codes. Before installing the appliance, consult the local building code agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable codes, including permits and inspections.

In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or the CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes (in Canada). The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (in the United St ates), or to the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).

High Altitude Installations

U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the U. S. A. and in Canada.

When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2,000 feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a 2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. or 10% for elevations between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating value of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply . To identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.

If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.

These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting room in the U.S.A. and Canada.
