G. Factory-Built Zero Clearance Fireplace
(USA INSTALLATIONS ONLY)
The Quadra-Fire 5100-I Insert is listed to UL 18 Standard
and is approved for installation into listed factory-built zero
clearance fireplaces listed to UL 1 conforming to the follow-
ing specifications and instructions:
The original factory-built clearance fireplace chimney cap
must be re-installed after installing the approved chimney
liner meeting type H.T. requirements (100°F) per UL 1.
The air flow of the factory-built zero-clearance fireplace
system must not be altered. The flue liner top support attach-
ment must not reduce the air flow for the existing air-cooled
chimney system.
NOTE: Refer to chimney liner manufacturer for recom-
mendations on supporting the liner.
Minimum Width of cavity opening:
Minimum Height:
Minimum Depth from front to rear:
The factory-built chimney must be listed per UL1 and meet
the type HT requirements of UL10. Factory-built fireplace
chimneys tested to UL1-1998, may be at the fireplace
manufacturer's option, tested to the same criteria as UL10
HT requirements. If the chimney is not listed as meeting HT
requirements, or if the factory-built fireplace was tested prior
to 1998, a full height listed chimney liner must be installed
from the appliance flue collar to the chimney top. The liner
must meet type HT requirements (100ºF) per UL 1.
The liner must be securely attached to the insert flue collar
and the chimney top. To prevent room air passage to the
chimney cavity of the fireplace, seal either the damper area
around the chimney liner with high temperature sealant or
the fireplace front with fiberglass batting. Circulating air
chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circula-
tor) may not be blocked.
