3.0 VENTING
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.

Amerivent 5DSC-N2 American Metal www.americanmetalproducts.com
Direct Temp 5DT-AA Selkirk www.selkirkcorp.com
SuperSeal 5DDA Metal-Fab www.mtlfab.com
Horizontal runs may have a 0" rise per foot in all cases using Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, Ameri-
can Metal Amerivent or Napoleon® rigid or flexible venting components when venting, see "TYPICAL VENT
INSTALLATIONS" section.
For optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a 1" rise per foot when using Napo-
leon® flexible vent components. For clearance to combustible materials from the vent pipe, see “FRAMING”
section.
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.

9
W415-0777 / A / 04.27.10
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
