VENT INSTALLATIONS
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 fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A1¼" air gap between
the inner and outer liner all around is required for safe operation.
Use a firestop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
When venting straight out the back, only the rigid vent can be used. DO NOT USE FLEXIBLE VENT. For all other venting
configurations, flexible vent is acceptable.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum or the maximum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or
carboning.
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.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace 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.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
FOR SPECIFIC VENTING PARAMETERS, REFER TO
PAGES 9-12.
With flexible venting, in conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot Vent Kit GD220 or the 10 foot Vent
Kit GD330.
Foroptimum flame appearanceand fireplace performance,keep the ventlength and numberof 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.
Horizontalruns mayhave a 0"rise perfoot inall cases usingWolfSteel, SimpsonDura-Vent,Selkirk DirectTemp,orAmerican
Metal Amerivent rigid vent components and Wolf Steel flexible vent components.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4" rise per foot when using Simpson
Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent or Wolf Steel rigid vent components and a minimum 1" rise per
foot when using Wolf Steel flexible vent components.
HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS
A minimum clearance of 1" at the bottom and sides
and 2" at the top of the vent pipe in all horizontal
runs to combustibles is required. Use firestop sleeve
assembly W010-1777 (supplied).
BGD33GD33
VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS
Aminimum of 1" all around the vent pipe on all vertical
runs to combustibles is required.Use firestop spacer
W500-0096 (not supplied).
HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS
A minimum clearance of 1" at the bottom and sides
and 2" at the top of the vent pipe in all horizontal
runs to combustibles is required. Use firestop sleeve
assembly W010-1777 (supplied).
VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS
Aminimum of 1" all around the vent pipe on all vertical
runs to combustibles is required.Use firestop spacer
W500-0096 (not supplied).
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 the outer intake vent pipe joints
of all other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the fireplace 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 GD222, 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 GD201 (for
wall penetration below grade).

“Wolf Steel Approved Venting” as
identified by the stamp only on the
7” flex vent pipe.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the
venting instructions exactly.
All 4" flex vent pipe and 7" flex vent pipe joints may be
sealed using high temperature sealant W573-0002 (not
supplied) or the high temperature sealant W573-0002
Mill Pac (not supplied). However, the high temperature
sealant W573-0007 Mill Pac (not supplied) must be used
on the joint connecting the 4" flex vent and the exhaust
flue collar.

Six inches (6”) is the minimum bend radius allowed for the
7” flex vent pipe.
Foroptimum performance itis recommendedthatall horizontal
runs have a minimum 1” rise per foot using flexible venting.
Thisapplication occurswhen venting througha roof.Installation kitsfor variousroof pitches areavailable fromyour Napoleon®
dealer. See Accessories to order the specific kit required.
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9½" openings in the ceiling and the roof to
providethe minimum clearancebetween the ventpipe andany combustible material.Tryto 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.
Do not fill this space with any type of material.
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.
2. 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. Afirestop 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
inits final position, applysealant between the pipe and the
firestop assembly.
3. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover
upthe open endof theshield and tighten. Thiswill prevent
any materials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air
space around the pipe.

Do not allow the 4" flexible vent pipe
to bunch up on horizontal or vertical
runs and elbows. Keep it pulled
tight. A 1 1/4” air gap between the 4"
and 7" flexible vent pipes all around
is required for safe operation. A
spacer is required at the start, middle
and end of each elbow to ensure this
gap is maintained. Spacers are
attached to the 4" flexible vent pipe
at predetermined intervals to
maintain a 1-1/4” air gap to the 7"
flexible vent pipe. These spacers
must not be removed.
!
WARNING
When venting straight out the back, only the rigid
vent can be used. Do not use flexible vent. For all
other venting configurations, flexible vent is
acceptable.

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and
the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local
building codes.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace 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.
To installthe fireplacefaceflushwith thefinishedwall, position
