Approvals and Codes
Appliance Certification
The Village Collection fireplace models discussed in this
Installers Guide have been tested to certification
standards and listed by the applicable laboratories.
Certification
MODELS: QV32B, QV36B
LABORA TORY : Underwriters Laboratories
TYPE: Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Heater
ST ANDARD:
ANSI Z21.88 -2000•CSA2.33-2000•UL307B
NOTE: THESE MODELS ARE UL LISTED TO UL307B,
THE STANDARD FOR GAS-BURNING HEATING APPLIANCES FOR MANUFACTURED HOMES AND RECRE-
ATIONAL VEHICLES.
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.
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.
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).
These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting
room in the U.S.A. and Canada.

owned or operated by the Commonwealth and where the
side wall exhaust vent termination is less than seven (7)
feet above finished grade in the area of the venting, including but not limited to decks and porches, the following requirements shall be satisfied:
Installation of Carbon Monoxide Detectors
At the time of installation of the side wall horizontal vented
gas fueled equipment, the installing plumber or gasfitter
shall observe that a hard wired carbon monoxide detector
with an alarm and battery back-up is installed on the floor
level where the gas equipment is to be installed. In addition, the installing plumber or gasfitter shall observe that a
battery operated or hard wired carbon monoxide detector
with an alarm is installed on each additional level of the
dwelling, building or structure served by the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled equipment. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to secure the services of qualified licensed professionals for the installation of hard wired
carbon monoxide detectors.
In the event that the side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment is installed in a crawl space or an attic, the
hard wired carbon monoxide detector with alarm and battery back-up may be installed on the next adjacent floor
level.
In the event that the requirements of this subdivision can
not be met at the time of completion of installation, the
owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days to comply with
the above requirements; provided, however, that during said

the provisions of 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a)1 through 4.
Exemptions
The following equipment is exempt from 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a)1
through 4:
• The equipment listed in Chapter 10 entitled “Equipment
Not Required To Be Vented” in the most current edition
of NFP A 54 as adopted by the Board; and
• Product Approved side wall horizont ally vented gas fueled equipment installed in a room or structure separate from the dwelling, building or structure used in whole
or in part for residential purposes.

Getting Started
Introducing the Village Collection
Gas Fireplaces
The Village Collection 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 and trim doors 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 manu-
factured and approved by Hearth & Home T echnologies,
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.

Installing the Fireplace

Constructing the Fireplace Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas fireplace 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.
CAUTION: TREATMENT OF FIRESTOP SPACERS AND
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MAY VARY WITH THE
TYPE OF BUILDING. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT
SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL
BUILDING CODES. THEREFORE, YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.
Factory-built fireplace 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.
This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air
infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per
regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, we
recommend that the inside surfaces be sheetrocked and
taped for maximum air tightness.
T o further prevent draft s, the firestops should be caulked to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked or stuffed with insulation. If the unit is being installed on a cement slab, we recommend that a layer of
plywood be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold
up into the room. Be sure to include spark arrestors for
woodburning units if they are required.

* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top

THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THAT
ALL CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINTAINED AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS
GUIDE.
Step 1. Locating the Fireplace
Sp ace and clearance requirements for locating a fireplace
within a room (see Figure 3).
Clearance Requirements
The top and back of the fireplace are defined by standoffs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is 3 inches (76mm).
The back of the fireplace may be recessed 16 1/4 inches
(413mm) into combustible construction.
The distance from the unit to combustible construction is
to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to the
combustible construction, NOT from the screw heads that
secure the unit together.
