Approvals and Codes

Appliance Certification

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

Certification

MODELS: QV-PIER, QV-ST LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories TYPE: Direct Vent Gas Fireplace STANDARD: ANSI Z21.50•CSA2.22•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 States), 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 Hearth & Home Technologies 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 Hearth & Home Technologies.

• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.

• Installation and/or use of any component part not manufactured and approved by Hearth & Home Technologies, 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.

A. Vent System Approvals

These models are approved to use D-series direct vent pipe components and terminations (see Figures 5 and 6). 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 SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY 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.

VERTICAL TERMINATION

Identifying Vent Components

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 vent starting collars on both the top and the back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide which ONE set of starting collars will be used to attach the vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain on the starting collars NOT used.

STARTING

B. Installing Vent Components

After determining which set of starting collars will be used (top or rear), follow venting instructions accordingly.

Venting Out the Rear Vent

Remove the installed rear seal cap from the rear starting collars by removing screws (see Figure 16). Follow the vent configuration tables accordingly.

Remove the insulation from the REAR five inch flue, pull the heat shield out from outside of the firebox.

WARNING: THE TOP HEAT SHIELD (INSIDE

THE FIREBOX) MUST REMAIN ATTACHED IF THE VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 16.

Venting Out the Top Vent

Remove the screws in the top vent collar seal cap and remove the top vent collar seal cap and insulation inside the top starting collar (See Figure 16).

Remove the heat shield from inside the TOP five inch flue from outside of the firebox.

The glass must be taken off again for positioning the logs when the unit is finally installed in place and finished around it. Re-install the glass door. Attach vent system to the top starting collars.

1. Attach the First Vent Component to the Starting Collars

To attach the first vent component to the starting collars of the fireplace:

• Make sure that the fireplace rope gasket supplied with the fireplace seals between the first 8-5/8 inch (219mm) vent component and the outer fireplace wrap.

• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the concentric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior beads into the fireplace collar or previously installed component end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.

• When the internal beads of each 8-5/8 inch (219mm) outer pipe line up, rotate the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter (1/4) turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.

Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible materials can be used to cover up the gap between the sheet rock or wood and the fireplace.

Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the bottom grille can be lowered and the trim door removed.

Placing the Ember Material

Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. The bag labeled Golden Ember (GE-93) is flame colorant material. The bag labeled Glowing Ember (050-721) is standard glowing ember material.

To place the ember material:

• Remove the wing nuts and glass clips or tension springs around the glass door.

• Remove the glass door from the unit.

• Place dime size pieces of ember material about 1/2 inch apart near port holes in burner top. Do NOT press embers into burner ports. Cover the top of the burner with a single layer of ember material. For best performance do NOT place embers on the ports at the rear of the burner.

• Save the remaining ember materials for use during fireplace servicing. The bag of embers provided is sufficient for 3 to 5 applications.

Positioning the Logs

If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged separately, refer to the instructions that accompany the logs. Save the log instructions with this manual.

If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.

STANDING PILOT IGNITION

A.This appliance (standing pilot version) has a pilot

that must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B.BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appli-

ance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle to the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas

control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been

under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components. Now you’re ready to light the appliance.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

STANDING PILOT CONTROLS

1. To access controls, open the lower grille.

2. Turn the gas control valve knob to the OFF position. To do this, you must turn the knob clockwise to the PILOT position, and then press in and continue turning clockwise to the OFF position. NOTE: Knob cannot be turned from “PILOT” to “OFF” unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do not force.

3. WAIT AT LEAST FIVE (5) MINUTES TO CLEAR OUT ANY GAS. If you have unsuccessfully tried to light the fireplace, wait longer, especially if you are using LP gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you then smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the safety information on previous page. If you don't smell gas, go to the next step.

4. The pilot should not require accessing for lighting purposes. The pilot is located inside the combustion chamber. If it is necessary to access the pilot, remove the trim door and glass door.

5. To put the control in the PILOT position, turn the control knob counterclockwise to the PILOT position.

6. To light the pilot press the control knob and then press the red or black piezo button once every second. The piezo makes a clicking sound. It may be necessary to repeat this step. If the pilot does not light after 10 seconds, go back to step 2. The control knob should be held down for a MINUTE after pilot ignition.

• If the control knob does not pop out when released, STOP! Shut off

the gas supply to the fireplace control valve, and IMMEDIATELY call your service technician or gas supplier.

• If the pilot will not stay lit after two tries, turn the control knob to the

“OFF” position and call your service technician or gas supplier.

7. After the pilot has been lit, the burner can be turned on by turning the knob counter-clockwise to the “ON” position.

8. Set the ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position.

9. Close the lower grille.

TO TURN OFF

GAS APPLIANCE

1. Open the lower grille.

2. Set ON/OFF switch to “OFF”.

3. Turn the valve control knob clockwise to the “Pilot” position, then depress knob and continue turning to “OFF” position.

4. Close the lower grille.

When you light your fireplace, you may notice: This gas appliance produces heat which does have an as-

sociated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial 3-4 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. Additionally, for the first few minutes after each lighting, vapor may condense and fog the glass and flames may be blue. After a few minutes this moisture will disappear and within 15-30 minutes the flames should become

yellow.

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.

Noise 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 your fireplace.

Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace

Step 13. 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 that the grate shipping support was removed (see Step 10).

• Make sure that the grate is resting directly on the refractory.

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 war- ranties.

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.

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.

WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S

MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.

After the Installation

LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH

THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

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. Turn 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.

Maintaining and Servicing Your 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.

IMPORTANT: 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. New ember material should be placed on top of the burner. Save the remaining ember material and repeat this procedure at your next servicing. For more information, see

Placing Ember Material.

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. After 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.

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.

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. The thermopile/thermocouple tips should be covered with flame (See Figure 29).

With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas fireplace will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualified service person in the diagnosis of a problem and the corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting

properly connected, replace the ignitor. Using match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and trigger the red or

black piezo button again. If the pilot lights, an improper gas/air mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge period is recommended. If the pilot will not light,

ensure the the gap at the electrode and pilot is one-eighth (1/8) inch to have a strong spark. If the gap is OK, replace the pilot.

Check the remote shut-off valvess from the fireplace. Usually, there is a valve near the gas main. There can be more than one (1) valve between the fireplace and the

main.

Check that the pilot flame impinges on the thermocouple. Clean and/or adjust the

pilot for maximum flame impingement. Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully inserted and tight

(hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).

3. The pilot is burning, there is no gas burner, the valve knob is in the ON position, and the ON/OFF switch is in

the ON position.

Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt meter lead wire on

the tip of the thermcouple and the other meter lead wire on the thermocouple copper lead. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less than 15mV, replace the thermocouple.

b. Defective valve. If the thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts, replace faulty valve.

a. ON/OFF switch or wires defective.

b. Thermopile may not be generating

sufficient millivoltage.

c. Defective valve. Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON

d. Plugged burner orifice.

e. Wall switch or wires are defective.

Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place the jumper wires across the terminals at the switch. If the burner comes on, replace the defective switch. If the switch is OK, place the jumper wires across the switch wires at the gas valve. If the burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections are

bad.

If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the thermopile, adjust the pilot flame.

Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve terminals are

tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the pilot bracket. Check the thermopile with a millvolt meter. Take the reading at TH-TP&TP

terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 325 millivolts minimum, while

holding the valve knob depressed in the pilot position, with the pilot lit, and the

ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is

below the specified minimum.

With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads from the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The reading should be 325 millivolts

minimum. Replace the thermopile if the reading is below the minimum.

position. Check the millivolt meter a the thermopile terminals. The millivolt meter

should read greater than 125mV. If the reading is acceptable, and if the burner does not come on, replace the gas valve.

Check the burner orifice for stoppage. Remove stoppage.

Follow the corrective action in Symptom and Possible Cause 1.a above. Check

the switch and wiring. Replace where defective.
