Ovalizing round stainless steel liners to accommodate the
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.

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
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.
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.
• 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.
I. Zero-Clearance Fireplace
Zero Clearance Fireplaces are factory-built insulated
metal fi replaces that are usually framed into the wall and
attached to combustible framing wood lumber. The term,
“Zero Clearance” refers to the fact that wood framing mate-
rial can be in contact with the outer shell of the metal ZC
fi replace or zero air space required to combustibles.
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 permit is required for all installations, fi nal approval is
contingent of the authority having local jurisdiction. Inspect
the existing fi replace and chimney for any damage or fl aws
such as burnouts, metal or refectory warping.
The base and hearth fl oor of the zero clearance fi replace
must be able to appropriately support the weight of the
wood insert and attached chimney liner.
Make all necessary repairs prior to installing the new wood
insert into the factory built fi replace. The factory Zero
Clearance Fireplace must be structurally sound for proper
insert support and proper operation and continued use of
the wood insert.
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 exist-
ing 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
.
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 heart 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 cooing air inlet or outlet ports may be blocked
by the insert or the insert surround.

allowed for factory-built fi replaces.
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 appli-
ance and chimney
