3.0 VENTING
7.2B
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. 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.
NOTE: This appliance must be installed with a continuous connection of exhaust and air intake vent
pipes. Utilizing alternate constructions such as a chimney as part of the vent system is not permitted.
!
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.

W415-1028 / A / 08.13.12
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 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.

4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
!
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
For clearance to combustible materials from the vent pipe, see "MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO
COMBUSTIBLES" section.
!
WARNING
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.

W415-1028 / A / 08.13.12
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.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter for
combustible walls that are less than 8 1/2” thick but
the vent shield must extend the full depth of the
combustible wall.
A. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) all around and
place the firestop top, so that the vent shield covers the
top of the vent within the opening.
B. Place the firestop bottom against the firestop top and secure the
two together. Adjust the assembly to ensure it is tight to the vent.
Secure firestop to wall. This restricts cold air from being drawn
into the room or around the appliance. Ensure that both spacer
and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles.
Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position,
apply sealant W573-0002 (not supplied) between
the vent pipe and the firestop spacer as illustrated.

4.1.2 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“ 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” 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” air space
around the pipe.

4.2 USING FLEXIBLE VENT COMPONENTS
For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting
instructions exactly.
All inner flex pipe and outer flex pipe joints may be sealed using high
temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied) or the high temperature
sealant W573-0007 Mill Pac (not supplied). However, the high temperature
sealant W573-0007 Mill Pac (not supplied) must be used on the joint
connecting the inner flex pipe and the exhaust flue collar.
Use only approved flexible vent pipe kits marked:
“Wolf Steel Approved Venting” as identified
by the stamp only on the outer flex pipe.
22.1
ELBOW
SPACERS
DO NOT ALLOW THE INNER FLEX PIPE TO BUNCH UP ON HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL RUNS AND ELBOWS.
KEEP IT PULLED TIGHT.
SPACERS ARE ATTACHED TO THE INNER FLEX PIPE AT PREDETERMINED INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN
AIR GAP TO THE OUTER FLEX 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.
