Quadra-Fire · PIONEER II · 4181-901 Installation Manual · Rev I · 08/19

C. Construct the Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a chase.
In cold climates, Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the chase be well insulated using batt type insulation between the joists.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be checked.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building envelope in any manner. All outer walls need to be insulated.
Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling firestops/ attic shields at each floor of the chase or every 10 ft (3048 mm) of clear space to control spread of fire.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor at the first level of the chase should be insulated (see Figure 3.4.) Vapor and air infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the inside surfaces be drywalled and taped (or the use of an equivalent method) for maximum air tightness.
Holes and other openings should be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced fiber glass insulation.
WARNING! You must install false ceilings and ceiling firestops at each floor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) to control spread of fire.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT seal area between fire stop opening and chimney pipe except where they enter the attic or leave the warm air envelope of the home (use 600° F sealant).
· The chase is constructed using framing materials much the same as the walls in your home. A variety of siding materials may be used including brick, stone, veneer brick, or standard siding materials.
· In constructing the chase, several factors must be considered: - Maintain a 2 in. (51 mm) air space around the chimney. - The chase top must be constructed of noncombustible material. - In cold climates, a firestop spacer and attic insulation shield should be installed in an insulated false ceiling at the 8 ft. (2438 mm) level above the fireplace assembly. This reduces heat loss through the chase. - In cold climates, the walls of the chase should be insulated to the level of the false ceiling as shown in Figure 3.4. This will help reduce heat loss from the home around the fireplace.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain a minimum 2 in. (51 mm) air space clearance to insulation and other materials surrounding the chimney system.
· Insulation and other materials must be firmly secured to prevent accidental contact with chimney system.
· The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown insulation or other combustibles from entering and making contact with fireplace or chimney.
· Failure to prevent contact between insulation or other materials and chimney system may cause overheating and fire.
Three examples of chase applications are shown in Figure 3.5.
1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase. 2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in chase. 3. Chase constructed on roof.
All outside walls should be insulated.

D. Frame the Fireplace
NOTICE: Hearth extension design must be determined before installation of fireplace.
If the fireplace is placed on the floor the maximum height of a finished raised hearth is 5-3/4", if you want a higher raised hearth the fireplace must be placed on a platform.
NOTICE: Wiring for fans must be done before framed enclosure is completed. If using a Heat Zone Kit, it also must be installed before enclosure is complete.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clearances specified.
· A minimum 1 in. (25 mm) air clearance must be maintained at the back and 1 in. (25 mm) to the sides of the fireplace assembly.
· Chimney sections at any level require a 2 in. (51 mm) minimum air space clearance between the framing and chimney section.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must comply with all minimum air space clearances to combustibles. DO NOT pack required air spaces with insulation or other materials.

E. Secure and Level the Fireplace
This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible or noncombustible continuous flat surface. Follow the instructions for framing in Section 3. Slide the fireplace into position. Be sure to provide the minimum 1 in. air clearance at the sides and 1 in. at the back of the fireplace.
The fireplace should be positioned so the face of the noncombustible material on the fireplace will be flush with the face of the drywall on the walls. See Figure 3.6.
Level the fireplace and shim as necessary. Secure the fireplace (using the pallet mounting brackets located on either side of the fireplace) to the subfloor.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Prevent contact with sagging, loose insulation. · DO NOT install against vapor barriers or exposed
insulation. · Secure insulation and vapor barriers. · Provide minimum air space clearances at the sides and
back of the fireplace assembly as outlined in Section 3.

Figure 3.3 shows a typical framing (using 2 x 4 lumber) of the fireplace, assuming combustible materials are used. All required clearances to combustibles around the fireplace must be adhered to. See Figure 3.2. Any framing across the top of the fireplace must be above the level of the top standoffs. (No recess above standoffs.)
The finished cavity depth must be no less than 24 in. (610 mm) from the finished backwall to the outside of front wall framing. Framing must extend straight up all the way to the ceiling.
CAUTION! Risk of Cuts/Abrasions. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal edges are sharp.
Standoffs are attached to the fireplace. The appliance can be positioned with the standoffs touching combustible walls or framing but DO NOT pack insulation or other materials in the air space between the fireplace and wall.

These surfaces must be even!

H. Outside Air Kit
An outside air kit must be used for combustion. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends you utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the outside air kit. The outside air inlet hood should be positioned in a manner that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet. In some installations the air duct may need to be run vertically. In such an installation, a 3 ft (914mm) height difference must be maintained from the top of the uppermost chimney section to the outside air inlet hood.
Refer to Figures 3.10 and 3.12 when placing the outside air inlet hood.
The outside air kit is installed on the right hand side of the fireplace. See Figure 3.13 for handle location/operation.
· Cut a 6-1/2 in. (165 mm) hole in outside wall to accommodate air piping.
· Use 6 in. (152 mm) metal flex or rigid piping (not supplied) to directly connect outside air to fireplace intake. Insulating the pipe isn't required but will help prevent frost condensation.
· Use the supplied outside air inlet hood. · Seal between the wall and the pipe with silicone to
prevent moisture penetration and air leaks. · Seal between the outside air inlet hood and the house
with silicone to prevent air infiltration.
CAUTION! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation! DO NOT draw outside combustion air from wall, floor or ceiling cavity, or enclosed spaces such as an attic or garage.
· DO NOT place outside air inlet hood close to exhaust vents or chimneys. Fumes or odor could be drawn into the room through the fireplace.
· Locate outside air inlet hood to prevent blockage from leaves, snow/ice, or other debris. Blockages could cause combustion air starvation.
CAUTION! Risk of Cuts/Abrasions. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal edges are sharp.

Attic insulation shield must be used to keep insulation away from chimney.

B. Offsets/Returns
· Use an offset/return to bypass overhead obstructions. · An offset and return can be used as a single entity or separated by chimney section(s).
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT use offset/returns greater than 30°. Chimney draft will be restricted and could cause overheating and fire. Secure offsets with screws ( not to exceed 1/2" / 13 mm in length) Secure returns with strapping. Straight chimney sections may be secured with screws. Keep chimney sections from separating or twisting.
· Measure the shift needed to avoid the overhead obstruction. Refer to dimension A in Figure 5.2. · Find the appropriate A dimension listed in Table 5.3. The B dimension coinciding with the A dimension measurement in
Table 5.3 represents the required vertical clearance needed to complete the offset/return. · Read across the chart to find the number of chimney sections/model numbers needed between the offset and return.

B. Assemble Chimney Sections
Use only those components described in this manual.
Substitute or damaged chimney components could impair safe operation and cause overheating and fire.
Attach either a straight chimney section or an offset to the top of the fireplace (depending on your installation requirement). Chimney sections are locked together by pushing downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the lower section.
The inner flue is placed to the inside of the flue section below it. The outer casing is placed outside the outer casing of the chimney section below it. See Figure 6.2.
NOTICE: Chimney sections cannot be disassembled once locked together. Plan ahead!
· Lock chimney sections and/or offsets/returns together by pushing downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the lower section.
· Pull on the top section to make sure it is fully engaged and will not separate.
· You may use #6 or #8 sheet metal screws no longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm) to fasten chimney sections together. Do NOT penetrate inner flue.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST use screws to fasten offset/returns to chimney sections to keep the chimney parts from twisting. Failure to do so could cause fire.
· Fasten offset/returns to chimney sections. Do NOT penetrate inner flue.
· Secure chimney returns with hanger straps provided; fasten to studs or joists.
· Vertical straight runs of chimney must be supported every 35 ft (10.7 m).

F. Install Attic Insulation Shield
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST install an attic insulation shield when there is any possibility of insulation or other combustible material coming into contact with the chimney.
· DO NOT pack insulation between the chimney and the attic insulation shield.
· Failure to keep insulation and other materials away from chimney pipe could cause fire.
· DO NOT offset chimney inside insulation shield. · Combustible material may come in contact with the attic
insulation shield as long as the required clearances are maintained to the chimney pipe.
Installation of a ceiling firestop is required:
· Refer to Figures 5.5, 5.6, 5.7. · If the attic shield is pre-rolled continue. If it is a flat part,
try and roll it up to aid in wrapping it around the chimney. · Pre-bend all the tabs in at the top to 45°. · Wrap the shield (around the chimney if already installed)
until you have an overlap and the three holes on each side match up (large holes on top). · Insert three screws into the matching holes to form a tube starting at the bottom. · Bend the tabs on the bottom of the tube inward to 90° to maintain chimney air space. · Rest the insulation shield on the ceiling firestop below. · Tape off any opening around the bottom.
If you wish to make a custom shield or barrier, follow these guidelines:
· Metal is preferred, although any material stiff enough to hold back the insulation can be used.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use of cardboard or other materials that can deflect under humidity or other environmental conditions is not recommended. · The shield or barrier must be tall enough to extend above the insulation and prevent blown-in insulation from spilling into the cavity. · Maintain specified air spaces around chimney. · Check instructions and local codes for further details.
Double-check the Chimney Assembly Continue assembling the chimney sections up through the ceiling firestops as needed. While doing so, be aware of the height and unsupported chimney length limitations given under Section 5.
Check each section by pulling up slightly from the top to ensure proper engagement before installing the succeeding sections. If they have been connected correctly, they will not disengage when tested.

Pre-bend the tabs to rest against pipe to prevent insulation from falling in.

A. Template
A cardboard template of the front is printed on the outside of the shipping box. Cut out the template along the outside of the line for use in your installation. A metal template (HHT-Template-B) is available for more durable continued use, remaining accurate over time. Both measure 1/8 in. (3 mm) larger all the way around than the actual front.
Note: This 1/8 in. of the non-combustible material must be painted or the red will be visible.
 Tools Required: 5/32 in. Allen wrench.
· Remove the door on the fireplace (if installed). · Remove the screws from the fascia and remove fascia
from the fireplace (if installed). Save the screws. Store the fascia in a safe, protected area to prevent scratching or other damage. · Install the template on the front of the fireplace (Figure 7.1) using the screws saved in the previous step. You are now ready to continue your installation with the desired decorative material. The template also serves as a protective covering and prevents damage to the front of the fireplace.
NOTE: The decorative fascia must be removable for future serviceability of the automatic combustion control.

B Finish the Wall
Use a wet or dry towel or a soft brush to remove any dust or dirt from the non-combustible facing material.
Apply a non-combustible adhesive to attach tile, stone or other non-combustible finishing materials per manufacturer's instructions.
1. Stone, Brick Finish
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT apply tar paper or water resistive barrier over non-combustible board.
· Apply metal lath to the 1/2 in. thick non-combustible board with corrosion resistant self-tapping screws capable of penetrating the metal surface behind the non-combustible board.
· HHT recommends using type N or type S mortar. Due to high temperatures, review polymer modifiers specification sheet before using.
2. Tile, Granite, Marble Finish
· Due to high temperatures, HHT recommends using unmodified thinset when applying tile.
· When applying granite or marble, HHT recommends using thinset to adhere. If using a different adhesive, review specification sheet for application in high temperature areas.
