3.0 VENTING
7.1C
THIS APPLIANCE USES A 4” (102mm) EXHAUST / 7” (178mm) AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE SYSTEM.
Refer to the section applicable to your installation.
For safe and proper operation of the appliance follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the
minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Under extreme
vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition. Although not a
requirement, it is recommended for vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl
spaces) be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation. Provide
a means for visually checking the vent connection to the appliance after the appliance is installed. Use a
firestop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
NOTE: If for any reason the vent air intake system is disassembled; reinstall per the instructions
provided for the initial installation.
!
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE, MAINTAIN SPECIFIED AIR SPACE CLEARANCES TO VENT PIPE AND APPLIANCE.
IF VENTING IS INCLUDED WITH SPACERS THE VENT SYSTEM MUST BE SUPPORTED EVERY 3FT
(0.9m) FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. USE SUPPORTS OR EQUIVALENT
NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE FROM
COMBUSTIBLES. USE WOLF STEEL LTD. SUPPORT RING ASSEMBLY W010-0370 OR EQUIVALENT
NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. SPACERS ARE ATTACHED TO THE INNER PIPE AT
PREDETERMINED INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN AIR GAP TO THE OUTER PIPE. THIS GAP IS
REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION. A SPACER IS REQUIRED AT THE START, MIDDLE AND END OF
EACH ELBOW TO ENSURE THIS GAP IS MAINTAINED. THESE SPACERS MUST NOT BE REMOVED.
3.1 VENTING LENGTHS AND COMPONENTS
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent or Metal-Fab venting
components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal
locations for either system are set out in this manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk
Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the installation procedure provided with the venting
components.
A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent systems and may be purchased from the corresponding
supplier:
* For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the
installation procedure found on the website for your venting supplier.
For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust flue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a
red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant may be used on both the inner exhaust and outer intake vent
pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the appliance flue collar
which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel termination kits: wall terminal kit GD175
(7/12’ of venting included), or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD110, 8/12 to 12/12 roof terminal kit GD111, flat
roof terminal kit GD112 or periscope kit GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunction with the appropriate
venting components.

3.2 TYPICAL VENT INSTALLATION
For optimum flame appearance and appliance operation, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum. It is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” (6.4mm) rise per foot /meter. The
air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times. Examine the air terminal at least once a year to verify
that it is unobstructed and undamaged. Rigid and flexible venting systems must not be combined. Different
venting manufacturers components must not be combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable horizontal
run is 20 feet (6m). The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet (12m). The maximum number of vent
connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the appliance and the air terminal connections) when
using flexible venting.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid piping to the stove for ease of installation.

4.0 INSTALLATION !
WARNING
ENSURE TO UNPACK ALL LOOSE MATERIALS FROM INSIDE THE FIREBOX PRIOR TO HOOKING UP
THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.
IF YOUR APPLIANCE IS SUPPLIED WITH A REMOTE ENSURE THE REMOTE RECEIVER IS IN THE
“OFF” POSITION PRIOR TO HOOKING UP THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE APPLIANCE.
FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE, FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
ALL INNER EXHAUST AND OUTER INTAKE VENT PIPE JOINTS MAY BE SEALED USING EITHER RED
RTV HIGH TEMP SILICONE SEALANT W573-0002 (NOT SUPPLIED) OR BLACK HIGH TEMP MILL PAC
W573-0007 (NOT SUPPLIED) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE APPLIANCE EXHAUST FLUE COLLAR
WHICH MUST BE SEALED USING MILL PAC.
IF USING PIPE CLAMPS TO CONNECT VENT COMPONENTS, 3 SCREWS MUST ALSO BE USED TO
ENSURE THE CONNECTION CANNOT SLIP OFF.
DO NOT CLAMP THE FLEXIBLE VENT PIPE.
RISK OF FIRE, EXPLOSION OR ASPHYXIATION. IMPROPER SUPPORT OF THE ENTIRE VENTING
SYSTEM MAY ALLOW VENT TO SAG AND SEPARATE. USE VENT RUN SUPPORTS AND CONNECT
VENT SECTIONS PER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
RISK OF FIRE, DO NOT ALLOW LOOSE MATERIALS OR INSULATION TO TOUCH THE VENT PIPE.
REMOVE INSULATION TO ALLOW FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE ATTIC SHIELD AND TO
MAINTAIN CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES.
68.2B
4.1 MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within required distances, the most desirable and beneficial location for an
appliance is in the centre of a building, thereby allowing the most efficient use of the heat created. The location of windows,
doors and the traffic flow in the room where the appliance is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should
choose a location where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or roof joist.
MAINTAIN THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES:
A. 7" (178mm) B. 2" (51mm) C. 1" (25mm)*
D. 17 1/2" (445mm) E. 6 1/4" (159mm) F. 9 1/2" (241mm)
Minimum 20" (508mm) from appliance top to ceiling
* At a distance of 1" (25mm) from the wall, access to the blower switch, on-off switch or the blower power cord
may not be practical.

4.2 WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
For clearances to combustible materials from the vent pipe, see “MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO
COMBUSTIBLES” section.
For optimum performance it is recommended that horizontal runs have a 1/4" (6.4mm) per rise per 1 ft (0.3m).
All inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joints may be sealed using either red high temp silicone sealant or
black high temp Mil Pac with the exception of the appliance exhaust flue collar which must be sealed using Mil
Pac (not supplied).
!
WARNING
DO NOT FILL THE SPACE BETWEEN THE VENT PIPE AND ENCLOSURE WITH ANY TYPE OF
MATERIAL. DO NOT PACK INSULATION OR COMBUSTIBLES BETWEEN CEILING FIRESTOPS.
ALWAYS MAINTAIN SPECIFIED CLEARANCES AROUND VENTING AND FIRESTOP SYSTEMS.
INSTALL WALL SHIELDS AND FIRESTOPS AS SPECIFIED. FAILURE TO KEEP INSULATION OR
OTHER MATERIALS AWAY FROM VENT PIPE MAY CAUSE FIRE.
70.1
This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall.
Having determined the correct height for the air terminal
location, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall as
illustrated to accommodate the firestop assembly.
Dry fit the firestop assembly before proceeding to
ensure the brackets on the rear surface fit to the
inside surface of the horizontal framing.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter
for combustible walls that are less than 8 1/2”
(215.9mm)thick but the vent shield must extend the
full depth of the combustible wall.
A
. Assemble the shield to the spacer as shown,
using the 3 shorter screws supplied.
B. Place the firestop top so that the vent shield covers the top
of the vent within the opening. Ensure that both spacer and
shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles.
C. Secure the spacer in place using the 4 longer screws supplied. Once the vent pipe is installed in its
final position, apply sealant between the pipe and the firestop spacer.

4.2.2 VERTICAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for
various roof pitches are available from your authorized dealer / distributor. See
accessories to order specific kits required.
A. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a square opening as
illustrated in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1“ (25mm)
clearance between the vent pipe and any combustible material. Try to center
the vent pipe location midway between two joists to prevent having to cut
them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings. A vent pipe
shield will prevent any materials such as insulation, from filling up the 1”
(25mm) air space around the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for
extra support.
B. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the Wolf
Steel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a finished ceiling),
and secure over the opening in the ceiling. A firestop must be placed on the
bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the venting system passes
through. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a firestop spacer over
the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the
fireplace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to
combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the
pipe and the firestop assembly.
C. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up the open end of the shield and
tighten. This will prevent any materials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1” (25mm) air
space around the pipe. 21.1
