surfaces. These screens and guards must be fastened to the floor.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
• The appliance is a vented gas-fired appliance. Do not burn wood or other materials in the appliance
• It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating blower and its passageway in the
appliance and venting system are kept clean. The appliance and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. The appliance area must be kept clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

s long as the required clearance to combustibles is
maintained, the most desirable and beneficial location
for an appliance is in the center 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.
If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood
flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.
Some appliances have optional fans or blowers. If an optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must
be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian
Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical code in the United States.
We suggest that our gas
hearth products be installed
and serviced by professionals

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.
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 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.

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” thick
but the vent shield must extend the full depth of the
combustible wall.
A
. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the corner edge of
the inside surface of the firestop assembly, fit the firestop
assembly to the hole and secure using the 4 screws (supplied in your
manual baggie).
B. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply high temperature sealant W573-0007 (not
supplied) between the pipe and the firestop.

RETURN FLANGE OF THE MOUNTING PLATE.
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.

sleeve of the air terminal. Slip the vent pipe a minimum
of 2” over the inner sleeve of the air terminal and
secure with 3 #8 screws.
B. Using the outer flex pipe, slide over the outer combustion
air sleeve of the air terminal and secure with 3 #8 screws.
Seal using high temperature sealant W573-0002 (not
supplied).
C. Insert the vent pipes through the firestop maintaining the required
clearance to combustibles. Holding the air terminal (lettering in
an upright, readable position), secure to the exterior wall and
make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).
D. If more vent pipe needs to be used to reach the fireplace, couple
them together as illustrated. The vent system must be

temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied).
D. Thread the air terminal connector / vent pipe assembly down
through the roof. The air terminal must be positioned vertically and
plumb. Attach the air terminal connector to the roof support, ensuring
that the top of the air terminal is 16” above the highest point that it
penetrates the roof.
E. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the air
terminal connector. Place the flashing over the air terminal connector
leaving a min. 3/4” of the air terminal connector showing above the
top of the flashing. Slide the flashing underneath the sides and upper
edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal connector is properly
centred within the flashing, giving a 3/4” margin all around. Fasten to
the roof. Do not nail through the lower portion of the flashing. Make
weather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides
and top edges of the flashing with roofing material.
F. Aligning the seams of the terminal and air terminal connector, place
the terminal over the air terminal connector making sure the vent
pipe goes into the hole in the terminal. Secure with the three
screws provided.
G. Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2” above the flashing.
Install the storm collar around the air terminal and slide down to the
caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-tight seal between the
air terminal and the collar is achieved.
H. If more vent pipe needs to be used to reach the appliance see
“HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION” section.
