Listing and Code Approvals

A. Appliance Certifi cation
Model: Explorer I
Laboratory: OMNI Test Laboratories Inc.
Report No: 0061WS091S
Type: Safety
Standard: UL 1482-11 & 737-11; ULC S627-00
NOTE: This installation must conform with local codes. In the absence
of local codes you must comply with the UL1482-07, (UM) 84-HUD
and NPFA211 in the U.S.A. and the ULC S627-00 and CAN/

B. BTU & Effi ciency Specifi cations
EPA Certifi ed Emissions: 2.2 grams per hour
*LHV Tested Effi ciency: 80.1%
**HHV Tested Effi ciency: 74.1%
***EPA BTU Output: 12,100 to 32,000 / hr.
****Peak BTU/Hour Output: 52,400
Vent Size: 6 inches
Firebox Size: 1.68 cubic feet
Recommended Log Length 16 inches
Fuel Orientation: Side to Side
*Weighted average LHV (Low Heating Value) effi ciency using
Douglas Fir dimensional lumber and data collected during EPA
emission test. LHV assumes the moisture is already in a vapor
state so there is no loss in energy to vaporize.
**Weighted average HHV (High Heating Value) effi ciency using
Douglas Fir dimensional lumber and data collected during EPA
emission test. HHV includes the energy required to vaporize the
water in the fuel.
***A range of BTU outputs based on EPA Default Effi ciency and
the burn rates from the low and high EPA tests, using Douglas
Fir dimensional lumber.
****The peak BTU out of the appliance is calculated using the
maximum fi rst hour burn rate from the High EPA Test and the
BTU content of cordwood (8600) times the effi ciency.
The Quadra-Fire Explorer I meets the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's 2015 particulate emission standards.
This appliance needs periodic inspection and repair for
proper operation. It is against federal regulations to oper-
