Ovalizing round stainless steel liners to accommodate the
liner passing through the damper region of a fireplace is an
allowable and acceptable practice.
Ensure that the ovalization is minimized to the extent
required to fit through the damper.

Fire Risk.
Do NOT pack insulation or other combustibles
between spacers.
•
ALWAYS maintain specified clearances around
venting and spacers.
• Install spacers as specified.
Failure to keep insulation or other material away
from
vent pipe may cause fire.

This may allow flue gases to enter the house.
J. 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
configuration, 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 flue draft.

K. Air Clearances
Figure 18.1
Figure 18.2
To ensure that insulation or any other combustible material
does not contact the chimney follow clearances below:
•
A chimney inside the house must have at least 2 inches
(51mm) of clearance to the combustible structure.
• A chimney outside the house must have at least 1 inch
(25mm) clearance to the combustible structure.
•
Non-combustible fire stops must be installed at the spaces
where the chimney passes through floors and/or ceilings.
