Ovalizing Round Stainless Steel Liners; Chimney Height / Rise And Run - Quadra-Fire VOYA-GRAND-MBK Owner's Manual

VOYAGEUR GRAND Wood Insert
J. Ovalizing Round Stainless Steel Liners
Ovalizing round stainless steel liners to accommodate the
liner passing through the damper region of a fireplace is an
allowable and acceptable practice.
Ensure that the ovalization is minimized to the extent
required to fit through the damper.
K. Chimney Height / Rise and Run
To be sure that your Quadra-Fire insert burns properly, the
chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -0.10
inches water column (W.C.) during a high burn and -0.04
inches W.C. during a low burn, measured 6 inches (152mm)
above the top of the insert after one hour of operation at each
burn setting.
NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat
for individual installations.
• This product was designed for and tested on a 6 inch
(152mm) chimney, 14 to 16 feet (4.27-4.87m) high, (in-
cludes appliance height) measured from the base of the
appliance.
• The further your stack height or diameter varies from this
configuration, the possibility of performance problems ex-
ists.
• Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per
each 1000 feet (304.8m) above sea level.
• It is not recommended to use offsets or elbows at altitudes
above 4000 feet (1219.2m) above sea level or when there
are other factors that affect flue draft.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Do NOT pack insulation or other combustibles
between spacers.
• ALWAYS maintain specified clearances around
venting and spacers.
• Install spacers as specified.
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from
vent pipe may cause fire.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate
properly.
• Chimney heights exceeding 25 feet (7.62m) from
base of appliance may create an over-draft situation.
• Overdraft condition may create over-firing.
Over-firing may ignite creosote and/or damage appli-
ance and chimney.

Fire Risk.
Failure to install a full reline may cause:
• Creosote accumulation creating increased risk of
chimney fire.
• Lose protection to combustible surfaces from the
liner in case of fire.
• Poor performance and start-ups.
• Less access to chimney for required maintenance.
