FACTORY-BUILT ZERO CLEARANCE FIREPLACE
(USA INSTALLATIONS ONLY)
The Quadra-Fire 4100-I Insert is listed to UL 1482 Standard and is approved for installation into listed factory-built zero
clearance fi replaces listed to UL 127 conforming to the following specifi cations and instructions:
The following modifi cations of factory built fi replaces are permissible: 1) removal of damper; 2) removal of smoke shelf
or baffl e; 3) removal of ember catches; 4) removal of fi re grate; 5) removal of viewing screen/curtain; and, 6) removal of
doors.
NOTE: Installation into fi replaces without a permit will void the listing.
The factory built chimney must be listed per UL127 and meet the type HT requirements of UL 103. Factory-built fi replace
chimneys tested to UL127-1998, may be at the fi replace manufacturer’s option, tested to the same criteria as UL 103 HT
requirements. If the chimney is not listed as meeting HT requirements, or if the factory built fi replace was tested prior to
1998, a full height listed chimney liner must be installed from the appliance fl ue collar to the chimney top. The liner must
meet type HT requirements (2100ºF) per UL1777. The liner must be securely attached to the insert fl ue collar and the
chimney top. To prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fi replace, seal either the damper area around the
chimney liner with high temperature sealant or the fi replace front with fi berglass batting.
The fi replace must not be altered, except that the damper may be removed to accommodate a direct-connect starter pipe
or chimney liner, and external trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the fi replace may be removed providing they
can be stored on or within the fi replace for reassembly if the insert is removed. The permanent metal warning label pro-
vided must be attached to the back of the fi replace, with screws or nails, stating that the fi replace may have been altered to
accommodate the insert, and must be returned to original
condition for use as a conventional fi replace.
If the hearth extension is lower than the fi replace opening,
the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must be
supported. Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit
can be ordered from your dealer.
See page 16.
Final approval of this installation type is contingent upon
the authority having jurisdiction.
