Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations
Quadra-Fire gas inserts are designed for installations into
solid fuel masonry or UL127 listed factory built fireplaces.
No additional outside air source is required.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and na-
tional codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier, local
building inspector, fire officials or authorities having jurisdic-
tion over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
Prior to installing the gas insert:
• Ensure chimney is constructed of non-combustible
materials.
• Ensure chimney is clean and in good working order.
• Ensure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly to prevent
air leakage into chimney.
• Ensure combustible mantel and surround clearances
comply with insert requirements.
• Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney
is properly secured.
• Determine minimum fireplace size. See Section 3.A and
3.B.
• Determine gas supply piping requirements.
• Determine electrical wiring requirements.
• Determine finishing details.
• Determine whether optional accessories—devices such
as a wall switch or remote control—are desired.
Installation and service of this appliance should be performed by
qualified personnel. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends
HHT Factory Trained or NFI certified professionals.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For
assistance or additional information, consult a qualified
service technician, service agency or your dealer.
