GENERAL VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE:
In order to comply with applicable
codes and product warranties, only Simpson Dura-
Vent (SDV), Hearth & Home Technologies (HTI)
venting components, or Security Chimney's Secure
Vent Chimney System may be used. DO NOT USE
FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING COMPONENTS. The
Garnet is approved to be vented either horizontally,
through the side wall, or vertically, through the roof.
You may vent through a Class A or masonry chimney
if a Simpson Dura-Vent adapter is used (for USA
installations only). Only use Simpson Dura-Vent, or
HTI components labeled and listed on
page 14.
This appliance is a direct vent heater. All combustion
air must come directly from the outside of the building.
The vent pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an
outer pipe. The inner pipe carries the stove exhaust
out of the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh
combustion air into the stove.
!
A wall thimble is required when the venting
passes through a wall.
!
A support box or firestop is required when the
venting passes through a ceiling.
!
Roof flashing and a storm collar are required when
venting passes through the roof. Follow instructions
provided with the venting for installation of these items.
IMPORTANT: Read all these instructions carefully
before starting the installation. Failure to follow
instructions may create a fire or other safety
hazard, and will void the warranty. Be sure to
follow these installation instructions for venting
and clearance to combustible requirements, which
may vary from one installation to another. Do
not extend the venting system in excess of
the distance prescribed in these manufacturer’s
installation instructions. This gas appliance must
not be connected to a chimney flue serving a
separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:
The Quadra-Fire Garnet is an engineered product
that has been designed and tested. The warranty will
be voided, and serious fire, health, or other safety
hazards may result from any of the following actions:
Installation of any damaged venting component,
unauthorized modification of the venting system,
installation of any component part not approved by
Hearth & Home Technologies, or installation other than
as instructed by these instructions. Consult your local
building codes before beginning this installation.
WARNING: Always maintain the required clearances (air
space) to nearby combustibles to avoid creating a fire
hazard. Do not fill air space with insulation. Minimum
clearance between vent pipes and combustible surfaces is
1” (2.5cm). Be sure to check the horizontal vent termination
clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas
regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways, as
specified on page 20 of these installation instructions, the
vertical termination requirements on page 18, 19 and 27,
and local building codes.
The gas heater and vent system must be vented
directly to the outside of the building, and never be
attached to a chimney
serving a separate solid fuel or
gas-burning appliance. This direct vent gas fireplace
must use its own separate vent system. Common vent
systems are prohibited.
