SAFETY LISTING The Quadra-Fire 3100 is listed by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. , Beaverton, Oregon, to UL 1482-83, (UM)84 HUD and ULC S627. It is also approved for mobile home installations with outside combustion air in the U.S. (see pages 15 and 16 for further details). For residential installations in Canada without an outside combustion air kit, a source of fresh air into the room must be provided. INSTALLATION MATERIALS NEEDED FOR YOUR SAFETY CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (also known as flue pipe or s
Résumé du contenu de la page N° 8
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR The chimney connector must be 6” (152mm) diameter with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge. Do not use aluminum or galvanized steel. They cannot properly withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire. Do not use chimney connector pipe as a chimney. You must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to those illustrated in this manual. Chimney connector sections must be attached to the stove and to each other with the crimped end toward the stove (Figure 3). This allows cre

The chimney must have a fire clay flue liner (or equivalent) with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (16mm) and must be installed with refractory mortar. There must be at least ½” (13mm) air space between the flue liner and the chimney wall (Figure 4). An equivalent liner must be a listed chimney liner system or other approved material. FIGURE 4 A chimney inside the house must have at least 2” (50mm) of clearance to the combustible structure. A chimney outside the house must have at least 1” (25mm)

Remember that insulation must not contact the chimney. There must be air space around the chimney. Insulation must be 2” (50mm) or more from the chimney (Figure 6). FIGURE 6 A chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstruction for safety and proper draft operation. The chimney must be a minimum of 3’ (914mm) higher than the highest point where it passes through the roof, and at least 2’ (610mm) higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10’ (3048mm

2. THIMBLE: An approved thimble must be used when the connection from the stove is made through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney. There are several methods you can use for connection through a combustible wall, two of which are illustrated in this manual. For additional methods, consult local building authorities or use the standards set forth in NFPA 211. Also, listed prefabricated metal thimbles are available for use with wood stoves. The manufacturer’s installation for the thimbles

FIGURE 9 Minimum 3 ½” (89mm) [4” (102mm) nominal] thick solid bricks are to be used. The fire clay liner (ASTM C35 or equivalent), 5/8” (16mm) wall thickness, must not penetrate into the chimney beyond the inner surface of the chimney flue liner and must be firmly cemented in place. If it is necessary to cut a hole in the chimney liner, use extreme care to keep it from shattering. Refractory mortar must be used at the junction with the chimney liner. After the assembly is complete, insert th

First, build the frame for the thimble, making sure that it is no smaller than 14½” (368mm) diameter, which will maintain a 2” (50mm) air space around the chimney section. Attach the wall spacer to the chimney side of the frame. Then insert the frame into the opening, toe-nailing it to the wall studs. Install the wall band in the framing to secure the chimney section in place. Insert a single section of chimney connector into the chimney through the wall band, being sure it does not protrude

CONNECTION TO A METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed precisely. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain the proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. This clearance is usually a minimum o

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION You must use a Quadra-Fire 3100 outside air kit (see page 16 for part numbers) for installation in a mobile home. Use of alternative material will void warranty. 1. An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and be unrestricted while unit is in use. 2. Unit must be secured to the mobile home structure

ASH REMOVAL SYSTEM OPERATING AND CLEANING CAUTION: Do not operate stove with ash removal system door open. Store ash in metal container until hot embers have cooled completely. 1. When stove is cool, open front door and brush most of the ash into the center of the firebox. Remember to leave ¼” to ½” (6-13mm) of ash on the firebox floor to act as a natural grate, allowing air to flow freely underneath wood. 2. Clean ash down through the ash removal system grate into the drawer below. If there

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE USING STOVE BURNING PROCESS In recent years there has been an increasing concern about air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire have developed cleaner-burning wood stoves that surpass the requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies. These wood stoves, like any other appliances, must be properly operat
