VOYAGEUR
I. Zero-Clearance Fireplace
A permit may be required for installations, fi nal approval is
contingent of the authority having local jurisdiction.
insurance carrier, local building, fi re offi cials or authorities
having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection,
and permits
.
Inspect the existing fi replace and chimney for any damage
or fl aws such as burnouts, metal or refectory warping.
Inspection to a minimum of NFPA 211 Level II is recom-
mended. All repairs must be made prior to installing an
insert. The fi replace must be structurally sound and be able
to support the weight of the solid-fuel insert
The factory-built chimney must be listed per UL 127 or ULC
610-M87 for all installations. Install thermal protection per
this appliance listing requirements.
A full height 6 inch diameter stainless steel full height
listed chimney liner must be installed meeting type HT
(2100°F) requirements per UL 1777 (USA) or ULC S635
with "0" clearance to masonry (Canada). The full liner
must be attached to the insert fl ue collar and to the top
of the existing chimney.
The fl ue liner top support attachment must not reduce the air
fl ow for the existing air-cooled chimney system. Re-install
original factory-built chimney cap only.
Prefabricated Metal Chimney)
To prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the
fi replace, seal either the damper area around the chimney
liner or the insert surround. Circulating air chamber (i.e. in
a steel fi replace liner or metal hearth circulator) may not be
blocked. The air fl ow within and around the fi replace shall
not be altered, blocked by the installation of the insert. (i.e.
no louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports may be blocked
by the insert or the insert surround.
See "H. Altering the Fireplace" for modifi cations allowed for
factory-built fi replaces.
WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation!
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO
A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE OR TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.
This may allow fl ue gases to enter the house.

J. Ovalizing Round Stainless Steel Liners
Ovalizing round stainless steel liners to accommodate the
Consult liner passing through the damper region of a fi replace is an
allowable and acceptable practice.
Ensure that the ovalization is minimized to the extent
required to fi t 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
confi guration, 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.
(See Section F.,
• 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 fl ue draft.

WARNING
Fire Risk.
Do NOT pack insulation or other combustibles
between spacers.
• ALWAYS maintain specifi ed clearances around
venting and spacers.
• Install spacers as specifi ed.
Failure to keep insulation or other material away
from vent pipe may cause fi re.
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-fi ring.
Over-fi ring may ignite creosote and/or damage
