PLEASE NOTE: In order to comply with applicable codes
and product warranties, only Simpson Dura-Vent venting
components may be used.
DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED
VENTING COMPONENTS.
The Quadra-Fire QFP30 Fireplace 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 Simpson Dura-Vent components labeled and
listed on this page may be used.
This fireplace 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 optional 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 vent 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.
Venting terminations shall not be
recessed into a wall or siding.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The Quadra-Fire QFP 30 Fireplace 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 Aladdin Hearth Products, 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 1-1/2" (50mm). Be sure to check the vent termination
clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits,
gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways,
as specified on page 19 of these installation instructions
and local building codes.
GENERAL VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
The gas fireplace 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection when installing
this stove. Exercise extreme caution when using ladders or
on rooftops around power lines. Be aware of electrical wiring
locations in walls and ceiling.
