Vent Information
A. Venting and Installation
Tools and supplies needed: Pliers; Phillips screwdriver;
Tape measure; Level; Electrical drill and bits; Square; and
High Temperature Sealant Material.
Note: Quadra-Fire gas inserts are designed for recessed
installations into solid fuel Masonry or Factory Built Non-
combustible fi replaces that have been installed in accordance
with the National, Provincial, State and Local building codes.
Note: Shipping brackets used to attach appliance to pallet can
be used as leveling legs when attached to back of appliance.
The damper of the masonry or factory-built chimney must
be removed or fi xed open to install the appliance.
Note: In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the word
damper shall be replaced with the words fl ue restrictor.
Minimum fi replace opening requirements are shown on
section 12 of this manual. The fi rebrick (refractory) can
be removed from a factory built fi replace in order to gain
minimum gas insert opening requirements.
Before installing the 3 in. (76 mm) fl ex vent pipe, mark or
label the exhaust pipe at both ends.
Attach the pipe-to-cap adapter to the termination cap and
to the top of the fl exible vent pipe and set the cap in place
at the top of the chimney. Attach the labeled vent pipe to
the labeled collar on the termination.

Install the 3 in. (76 mm) fl exible vent pipes down through
the chimney. Attach and secure the bottom ends of the
fl ex pipes to the starting collar bracket with set screws on
each collar. Attach the labeled pipe to the exhaust collar
on the starter collar bracket.
Place the insert on the hearth and carefully slide it into the
fi replace. Be sure the gas line enters the heater through
the gas access opening and that the electrical cord is
extending out the right. (Cord may be re-routed to the left
if necessary. A notch will be needed in the trim piece for
the cord restraint.)
Position any excess fl ex vent pipe back up into the
chimney.
Install LP conversion, brick set and panel and trim at
this point in accordance with your installation plans. See
instructions in this manual to do so.
Slide the unit back into the fi replace.
Attach transition assembly to the appliance. Rotate transi-
tion assembly latches and lock with the 7/16 in. wrench.
AIR INTAKE

High Temperature Sealant Material. Sealants that will
withstand high temperatures (at least 350 degrees Fahr-
enheit); General Electric RTV103 (Black), or equivalent.
Rutland, Inc. Fireplace Mortar #63, or equivalent; Dow
Corning 732 or equivalent.
Note: To avoid down drafts and/or cold air problems, it is
recommended to seal off the area between the termination
cap and the top of the solid-fuel chimney opening into which
the vent cap has been installed.
Note: the metal fl oor of the solid fuel fi rebox may be removed
to facilitate the installation of the insert. Clearance to
combustible material under the insert is 3/8 in. (1 mm). You
must use the leveling legs to raise the insert a minimum of
3/8 in. (10 mm) if the insert is to sit on combustible material.
The side walls and top structure of the fi rebox may not be
altered with the exception of removable baffl es and dampers.
The original fi replace may never be returned to solid fuel in
this condition.
