Approvals and Codes
Appliance Certification
The Quadra-Fire fireplace models discussed in this Installers Guide have been tested to certification standards and listed
by the applicable laboratories.
Certification
MODELS: QV-PIER-HV-IPI, QV-S T- HV -IPI LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories TYPE: V ented Gas Fireplace Heater STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88•CGA2.22•UL307B
Installation Codes
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before installing the fireplace, 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.

Getting Started
Introducing the Quadra-Fire Gas Fireplaces
Quadra-Fire direct vent gas fireplaces are designed to op­erate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions, are shown in this section.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide. Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any
unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
The vent system components are shipped in separate pack­ages. The gas logs are packaged separately and must be field installed.
Read all of the instructions before starting the instal­lation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit. Failure to follow these instructions will void the own­er’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
The Quadra-Fire Warranty will be voided by , and Quadra­Fire disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:
Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system component.
Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
Installation other than as instructed by Quadra-Fire.
Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
Installation and/or use of any component part not manu­factured and approved by Quadra-Fire, not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or other party approval of such component part or accessory .
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to determine:
Where the unit is to be installed.
The vent system configuration to be used.
Gas supply piping.
Electrical wiring.
Framing and finishing details.
Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on any combustible material other than wood flooring, the fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
These models are approved to use DVP series direct vent pipe components and terminations (see Figures 6 and 7). Approved vent system components are labeled for identifi­cation. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved com­ponent of the fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall. There is no requirement for inspection openings at each joint within the wall. There is no required pitch for horizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYS- TEMS OR COMPONENTS MA Y BE USED.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent termination kit and should be used in conjunction with this Installers Guide.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.
Identifying Vent Component s
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may in­clude one, two, or three 90°
elbow assemblies. The rela­tionships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configura­tions using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The rise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawings and tables. Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90° elbow. Rise to run ratios in the vent system must be followed if 45° elbows are used.
This model has 45
0
elbow built into this unit. It may be positioned to vent either horizontal or vertical. Depending on the installation, decide which direction the elbow should be facing. Remove the 8 screws from the corner cover plate. Position the 450 elbow as desired and replace the corner cover plate with the 8 screws.

B. Installing V ent Component s
After determining which direction the 45O elbow will be used follow venting instructions accordingly .
This fireplace comes ready to vent horizontally .
T o vent off the unit vertically , the elbow cover plate must first be removed from the unit (see Figure 20).
The elbow can be removed from the unit by aligning the seams of the elbow to the arrows on the surrounding heat shield (see Figure 21).
Position the elbow in the vertical position. Snap in place with the starting collar.
Replace the elbow cover plate aligning it with the elbow and secure in place with the 8 screws.
Place rope ring around the first section of pipe and slide it up against the cover plate.
NOTE: The rope ring is required for the heat manage­ment and to prevent cold air infiltration.
ELBOW COVER P L ATE
Venting Out Vertically
If your vertical vent component is over 4 feet, you may want to install the flue restrictor (located in the bag containing the install manual) to improve flame appearance. Center the flue restrictor on the 5” flue being used, and with self tapping screws secure the restrictor to the inside of the firebox as shown in Figure 22.

1. Att ach the First Vent Component to the Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars of the fireplace:
• Slide the first vent section onto the unit and push in until they snap lock in position.
• Rotate this section to the desired position.
• Using the two tabs provided on the elbow cover plate, secure the first section of venting to the fireplace with two screws.
Refer to Cinch Pipe and Termination Cap installation instructions.
If the installation is for a termination cap attached directly to the fireplace, skip to the sections, Install Firestops and
Vent Termination.

2. Continue Adding V ent Component s
Refer to Cinch Pipe and Termination Cap installation in­structions.
• Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed­ing component into place.
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure­ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the vent system. Securing pipe sections with a maximum of two screws is recommended.
• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el­bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre­ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2) sheet metal screws.
3. Install Support Brackets
Refer to Cinch Pipe and Termination Cap installation instructions.
4. Install Firestops For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both
sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.
NOTE: Model DVP-TRAP does not need an exterior firestop on an exterior combustible wall. The firestop is built into the cap.
T o install firestops for horizontal runs that p ass through either interior or exterior walls:
• Cut a 10” x 12” (254mm X 305mm) hole through the wall.
NOTE: The center of the hole is one (1) inch (25.4mm) above the center of the horizontal vent pipe.
• Position the firestops on both sides of the hole previ­ously cut and secure the firestops with nails or screws.
• The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE placed to­wards the top of the hole.
• Continue the vent run through the firestops.

For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.
T o install firestops for vertical runs that pass through ceilings:
• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the verti­cal vent component.
• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.
• Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.
• Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir­ing or plumbing runs.
• Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary, to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.
• Cut an 10-inch X 10-inch (254mm x 254mm) hole through the ceiling, using the centerpoint previously marked.
• Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists.

For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and inst all
V
the vent sections:
• Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the underside of the roof, and drive a nail through the centerpoint.
• Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint nail.
• The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on the pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a 1-inch (25.4mm) clear­ance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible materials.
• Mark the roof hole accordingly.
T o seal the roof hole, and to divert rain and snow from the vent system:
• Attach a flashing to the roof using nails, and use a non­hardening mastic around the edges of the flashing base where it meets the roof.
• Attach a storm collar over the flashing joint to form a water-tight seal. Place non-hardening mastic around the joint, between the storm collar and the vertical pipe.
• Slide the termination cap over the end of the vent pipe and snap into place.
• Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.
• Cut and frame the roof hole.
• Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters and install the frame securely . Flashing anchored to the frame must withstand heavy winds.
• Continue to install concentric vent sections up through the roof hole (for inside vent installations) or up past the roof line until you reach the appropriate distance above the roof (for outside terminations).

Step 6. The Gas Supply Line
NOTE: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with local building codes by a qualified installer approved and/or licensed as required by the locality . (In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter).
NOTE: Before the first firing of the fireplace, the gas supply line should be purged of any trapped air.
NOTE: Consult local building codes to properly size the gas supply line leading to the 1/2 inch (13 mm) hook-up at the unit.
This gas fireplace is designed to accept a 1/2 inch (13 mm) gas supply line.
To install the gas supply line:
• A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved) 1/2 inch (13mm) tee-handle manual shut-off valve and a listed flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch (13mm) inlet of the control valve. NOTE: If substi­tuting for these components, please consult local codes for compliance.
• Locate the gas line access hole in the outer casing of the fireplace.
• The gas line may be run from either side of the fireplace provided the hole in the outer wrap does not exceed 2” in diameter and it does not penetrate the actual firebox.
• Open the fireplace lower grille, insert the gas supply line through the gas line hole, and connect it to the shut-off valve.
• When attaching the pipe, support the control so that the lines are not bent or torn.
• After the gas line installation is complete, all connec­tions must be tightened and checked for leaks with a commercially-available, non-corrosive leak check solu­tion. Be sure to rinse off all leak check solution following testing.
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME
!
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
• Insert insulation from the outside of the fireplace and pack the insulation tightly to totally seal between the pipe and the outer casing.

Step 1 1. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following: Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace. Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at the beginning of this Installers Guide.
Double-check for gas leaks
Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter­minations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re­placed with an approved component. Tampering with the fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war­ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally .
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the initial start-up. T urn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products used in the paint and logs.
Pull the access panel to expose the light bulb. Wearing clean cotton gloves replace the bulb. Any skin oils which get on a new bulb will greatly shorten the life of the bulb. The bulb can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol (see Figure 56).
Figure 56
Quadra-Fire • QV-PIER, QV-ST Series: HV-IPI • 2005-901 Rev. G • 2/06
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 fireplace’s initial burning.
Step 12. Lighting the Fireplace
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components. Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.

Fireplace Maintenance
Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and main­tenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you should have a qualified service technician perform an appli­ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season. See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each fireplace maintenance task.
IMPORT ANT : TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING YOUR FIREPLACE.
Replacing old ember material Frequency: Once annually , during the checkup. By: Qualified service technician. Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.
Replace old ember material with new dime-size and shape pieces of Golden Ember (GE-93) and Glowing Ember (050-
721). New ember material should be placed alternately on top of the burner - a layer of Golden Ember, a layer of Glowing Ember, and so on. Save the remaining ember material and repeat this procedure at your next servicing. For more information, see Placing Ember Material.
Cleaning Burner and Controls Frequency: Once annually . By: Qualified service technician. Task: Brush or vacuum the control compartment, fireplace
logs and burner areas surrounding the logs.
Cleaning Flame Sensor Rod (IPI Systems) Frequency: Periodically . By: Qualified service technician. Task: Make a visual check of the straight flame sensor rod
(see Figure 32). Use emery cloth to carefully remove any existing white film or deposits.
Checking Flame Patterns, Flame Height Frequency: Periodically .
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner. Task: Make a visual check of your fireplace’ s flame patterns.
Make sure the flames are steady - not lifting or floating. See Figure 57. The flame sensor (IPI) should be covered with flame. See Figure 32.
MAKE SURE THE FLAMES ARE STEADY—NOT LIFTING OR FLOATING.
Figure 57. Burner Flame Patterns
Checking Vent System Frequency: Before initial use and at least annually
thereafter, more frequently if possible.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner. Task: Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to
ensure that no debris is interfering with the flow of air. Inspect entire vent system for proper function.
Cleaning Glass Door Frequency: After the first 3 to 4 hours of use. As neces-
sary after initial cleaning.
By: Home owner. Task: Remove and clean glass after the first 3 to 4 hours of
use. Af ter the initial cleaning, clean as necessary , particu­larly after adding new ember (flame colorant) material. Film deposits on the inside of the glass door should be cleaned off using a household glass cleaner . NOTE: DO NOT handle
or attempt to clean the door when it is hot and DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.

If there is no spark at "I" terminal module must be replaced. If there is a spark at "I" terminal, module is fine. Inspect pilot assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator around electrode.
Verify all connections to wiring diagram in manual. Verify connections
underneath pilot assembly are tight. Verify connections are not grounding out
to metal chassis, pilot burner, pilot enclosure or screen if present, or any other
metal object.
Verify that flame is engulfing sensor rod. If the pilot assembly does not have a ground strap, consider installing one to increase flame rectification. Verify
correct pilot orifice is installed and inlet gas specifications. Flame carries rectification current, not the gas. If flame lifts from pilot hood, the circuit is broken. A wrong orifice or too high an inlet pressure can cause pilot flame to lift. The sensor rod may be contaminated. Clean sensor rod with emery cloth.
