B. Design and Installation Considerations
Quadra-Fire direct vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of
the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the out-
side. No additional outside air source is required.

national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, fi re offi cials or authorities having

Before installing, determine the following:

• The vent system confi guration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and fi nishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
