Approvals and
Codes
Appliance Certification
The fireplace model discussed in thisInstallers Guide has
been tested to certification standards and listed by the
applicable laboratories.
Certification
MODEL: QV36D
LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories
TYPE: Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
STANDARD:
ANSI Z21.88-2000·CSA2.33-M00· 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/NFP ANo. 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. T o
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.
This model may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting
room in the U.S.A. and Canada.

Getting Started
Introducing the Quadra-Fire Gas Fireplace
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 and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs may be 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 Hearth & Home Technologies 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.

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: TREA TMENT OF FIRESTOP SPACERS AND
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MA Y V AR Y 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.
To further prevent drafts, 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 CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THA TALL
CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINTAINED
AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS GUIDE.
Step 1. Locating the Fireplace
For space and clearance requirements for locating a fireplace within a room see Figure 2.
Clearance Requirements
The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is one inch (25 mm).
The back of the fireplace may be recessed 21 1/2 inches
(546 mm) into combustible construction.
NOTE: 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.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
Identifyi ng Vent Components
A. Vent System Approvals
This model is approved to use D-series direct vent pipe
components and terminations (see Figures 4 and 5). 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 B E USE D.
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.
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 collar NOT used.
