VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
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 GBDV-40 is approved to be vented either 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 in this section may be used.
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 manufacturers installation instructions.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The Quadra-Fire GBDV-40 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 (25mm), except where stated otherwise. Be sure to check the vent
termination clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets
and public walkways, as specified in these installation instructions and local building codes. (Refer
to page 21 for horizontal installation instructions.)
The gas stove 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
stove 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 electrical
caution when using ladders or on rooftops. Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and
ceilings.
