INSTALLATION OPTIONS
The Quadra-Fire 5100-I Insert conforms with the UL Stan-
dard for Safety 1482 and ULC S628 (Canada) in all respects,
and is approved to UL & ULC safety standards for installa-
tion and use within a fireplace with a masonry chimney in
accordance with NFPA No. 211, with or without a direct flue
collar connection. A starter pipe is required to reach to the
bottom of the existing flue.
1. Secure the fireplace damper in the open position. If this
cannot be accomplished, it will be necessary to remove the
damper.
2. Seal either the damper area around the chimney liner
with a high temperature sealant or the fireplace front with
fiberglass batting.
3. The chimney should be examined for cracks, loose mortar,
and other signs of deterioration and blockage. The insert
should not be installed until it is determined that the chim-
ney is safe for use. Since an oversized flue contributes to
the accumulation of creosote, the size of the flue should be
checked to determine that it is not too large for the insert.
The chimney should also be checked to ensure it meets the
minimum standard of the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion (NFPA) Standard 211. The following bullets list the more
critical requirements for a properly constructed chimney:
•
The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular
block, must be a minimum of 4 inches (102mm) nominal
thickness. A chimney of rubble stone must be at least 12
inches (305mm) thick
•
The chimney must have a fire clay flue liner (or equiva-
lent) with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (16mm) and must be
installed with refractory mortar. An equivalent liner must be
a listed chimney liner system or other approved material.
•
A chimney inside the house must have at least 2 inches
(51mm) of clearance to the combustible structure. A chim-
ney 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 ceiling
(See Figure 8A and 8B
on page 8)
.
NOTE:
In Canada, a full reline is required.
