B. Design and Installation Considerations
Quadra-Fire direct vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of
the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the out-
side. No additional outside air source is required.

• The vent system con¿ guration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring requirements.

wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
