Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
CAUTION
Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns if
touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards
may be required.
WARNING
A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector: Use  or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be
vented vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent. If
using the  inch (76mm) vertical top vent adapter Kit
or the  to 6 inch (76-152mm) top vent offset adapter,
use Listed double wall flue connector. A Quadra-Fire
outside air kit must be used with manufactured home
installations.
. Residential: The  inch (76mm) vertical top vent
adapter kit and the  to 6 inch (76-152mm) top vent
offset adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall flue
connector or Listed double wall flue connector to Class
A Listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting
national and/or local codes for solid fuel appliances.
4. INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at
least  screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with
at least  screws through each joint.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever
possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone
(500°F [260°C] minimum rated only).
NOTE: If burning shelled field corn, you must use
approved venting specifically designed for corn. Follow
the instructions from the venting manufacturer.
Fire Hazard.
• Only LISTED venting components may be
used.
• NO OTHER vent components may be used.
Substitute or damaged vent components may
impair safe operation.
WARNING
B. Venting Termination Requirements
1 . Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is
recommended that at least 60 inches (1524mm) of verti-
cal pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly
through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which
will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting
into the home during a power outage. It will also keep
exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing
people or shrubs to high temperatures. The safest and
preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically
through the roof.
2 . Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) horizontally
from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (05mm) above.
. Distance from permanently closed windows:
a. Not less than 12 inches (05mm) below, horizontally
from or above.
4 . Distance between bottom of termination and grade
should be 12 inches (05mm) minimum. This is con-
ditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade
surface. The grade surface must be a non-combustible
material (i.e., rock, dirt). The grade surface must not be
lawn. Distance between bottom of termination and public
walkway should be 84 inches (214mm) minimum.
5 . Distance to combustible materials must be 24 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
• Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl soffits.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches (05mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.
