The Quadra-Fire 2700-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 replace with a masonry chimney in
accordance with NFPA 211, with a direct ue collar connec-
tion. A starter pipe is required to reach to the bottom of the
existing ue.
1. Secure the replace damper in the open position. If this
cannot be accomplished, it will be necessary to remove
the damper.
2. Seal the damper area around the chimney liner with a
high temperature sealant.
. 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 chimney is safe for use. Since an oversized ue
contributes to the accumulation of creosote, the size of
the ue 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 Association (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 (05mm) thick.
• The chimney must have a re clay ue liner (or equiva-
lent) with a minimum thickness of 5/8 inch (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
re stops must be installed at the spaces where the chim-
ney passes through oors and/or ceiling
.
NOTE: In Canada, a full reline is required.
