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 DV40 Step 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 manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The Quadra-Fire DV40 Step 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.
Any vertical termination greater than 10’ (ten feet) needs a restrictor strap placed in the top of the 4” (four
inch) exhaust outlet of the appliance. Any horizontal termination with greater than 10’ (ten feet) of vertical
rise requires this same restrictor strap. (See Pg. 45, Restrictor strap part #842-3330).
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 18 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.
