3.1 VENTING LENGTHS AND COMPONENTS
3.0 VENTING
7.2
THIS APPLIANCE USES A 5” EXHAUST / 8” 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. Vent lengths that pass
through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) should 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 3 FEET
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.
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 rigid / flexible components with the following
termination kits: wall terminal kit GD422-1, GD422R-1, or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD410, 8/12 to 12/12 roof
terminal kit GD411, flat roof terminal kit GD412 or periscope kit GD401 (for wall penetration below grade). With flexible
venting, in conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD420 or the 10 foot vent kit GD430.
For optimum flame appearance and appliance performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum.
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 manufacturer 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. The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of vent connections is two
horizontally or three vertically (excluding the appliance and the air terminal connections) when using flexible venting.
Horizontal runs may have a 0” rise per foot however for optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal
runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot using flexible venting. For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow
the venting instructions exactly.
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two single family
dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼” air gap
all around between the inner liner and outer liner is required for safe operation. 8.3

3.2 TYPICAL VENT INSTALLATIONS
When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to
a maximum of 20 feet. If a 20 foot horizontal run
is required, the appliance must have a minimum
vertical rise immediately off the appliance of 57".
When installing with no vertical rise, ensure that the vent pipe does not slope downward.
When terminating vertically, the vertical rise is a
minimum 34" and a maximum 40 feet above the
appliance.

For vent configurations requiring more than one 45° elbow and 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT< VT
Formula 2: HT+ VT< 40 feet
Example 1:
V1= 8 FT
VT= V1= 8 FT
H1= 2.5 FT
H2= 2 FT
HR= H1+ H2= 2.5 + 2 = 4.5 FT
HO= .03 (one 45° elbow + two 90° elbows - 135°) = .03 (225 - 135°) = 2.7 FT
HT= HR+ HO= 4.5 + 2.7 = 7.2 FT
HT+ VT= 7.2 + 8 = 15.2 FT
Formula 1: HT< VT
7.2 < 8
Formula 2: HT+ VT< 40 FT
15.2 < 40
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.

4.0 PENINSULA INSTALLATION
4.1 VENTING
4.2 FRAMING
Refer to "VENTING" section. All venting must have a minimum clearance of 2" to combustible material on the
top and 1" to the sides and bottom.
It is best to frame your appliance after it is positioned and the vent
system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes.
To install the appliance face flush with the finished wall, position
the framework to accommodate the thickness of the finished wall.

!
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE!
IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSED INSULATION OR VAPOUR BARRIER COMING
IN CONTACT WITH THE APPLIANCE BODY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE WALLS OF THE APPLI-
ANCE ENCLOSURE BE “FINISHED” (IE: DRYWALL / SHEETROCK), AS YOU WOULD FINISH ANY
OTHER OUTSIDE WALL OF A HOME. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES IS
MAINTAINED WITHIN THE CAVITY.
DO NOT NOTCH THE FRAMING AROUND THE APPLIANCE STAND-OFFS. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN AIR
SPACE CLEARANCE MAY CAUSE OVER HEATING AND FIRE. PREVENT CONTACT WITH SAGGING
OR LOOSE INSULATION OR FRAMING AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. BLOCK OPENING
INTO THE CHASE TO PREVENT ENTRY OF BLOWN-IN INSULATION. MAKE SURE INSULATION AND
OTHER MATERIALS ARE SECURED.
WHEN CONSTRUCTING THE ENCLOSURE ALLOW FOR FINISHING MATERIAL THICKNESS TO MAIN-
TAIN CLEARANCES. FRAMING OR FINISHING MATERIAL CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUMS LISTED
MUST BE CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. MATERIALS CONSISTING
ENTIRELY OF STEEL, IRON, BRICK, TILE, CONCRETE, SLATE, GLASS OR PLASTERS, OR ANY COM-
BINATION THEREOF ARE SUITABLE. MATERIALS THAT ARE REPORTED AS PASSING ASTM E 136,
STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR BEHAVIOUR OF MATERIALS IN A VERTICAL TUBE FURNACE AT
750°C AND UL763 SHALL BE CONSIDERED NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE MAINTAINED OR A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD
COULD RESULT.
THE APPLIANCE REQUIRES A MINIMUM ENCLOSURE HEIGHT. MEASURE FROM THE APPLIANCE
BASE.
IF STEEL STUD FRAMING KITS WITH CEMENT BOARD ARE PROVIDED, THEY MUST BE INSTALLED.

Care should be taken to maintain sufficient clearance for
the vent installation. A horizontal vent installation requires
a minimum height of 45" using flexible vent pipe, to the
underside of the enclosure top including the 2" clearance
to combustibles
4.3 COUNTER TOP / BAR INSTALLATION
When finishing the appliance, combustible material
may rest directly on the top extension.
NOTE: Maximum weight tolerance is 400 lbs,
provided that it is evenly distributed across the
top extensions of the appliance.
In order to achieve a counter top or bar type
appearance with the minimum height allowed,
framing must be non-combustible and may be done
with metal studding attached to the top extension
sides or the upper frame of the appliance.
* The top extension may be removed if non-
combustible framing is faced with a non-combustible
material placed flush with the front face of the
appliance and extending from the top of the
appliance. (Example: cement board - not supplied).
Combustible counter / bar tops must maintain a
minimum of 38" from the base of the appliance to the
underside of the top.
NOTE: Wolf Steel trim and/or surround kits
will not totally cover the top extension of the
appliance. In order to obtain a smooth transition
from the trim / surround to the wall, it is
recommended that the top extension be removed
and the appliance be installed following the
above procedure.

Install the base panels as illustrated. The side panel sits under the bracket tab. Holding the side panel in
position, bend down the tab to secure.
4.5 FACING
4.6 FINISHING
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the
front of the appliance but must not cover any of the black
face-areas of the appliance. Non-combustible material
(brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
appliance.
When roughing in the appliance, raise the appliance
to accommodate for the thickness of the finished floor
materials, (tile, carpeting, hard wood) which if not planned
for will interfere with the opening of the lower access
door and the installation of many decorative flashing
accessories.
Objects placed in front of the appliance should be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the glass front face.
