** When a vertical rise is used as part of the venting configuration, a 0" rise per foot is acceptable.
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 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).
With flexible venting, in conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD220 or the 10 foot vent
kit GD330.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace 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.
Wolf Steel rigid and flexible venting systems must not be combined.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace. The maximum allowable horizontal run is 20
feet.
The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of 4" vent connections is two horizontally or
three vertically (excluding the fireplace and the air terminal connections) when using flexible vent pipe.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a 1" rise per foot.

WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
For optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1" rise per foot using flexible
venting. For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the venting instructions exactly.
If flexible venting is to be used remove the rigid firestop spacer. The remaining
hole is sized for flexible venting.
This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall. Having
determined the air terminal location, cut and frame a hole in the
exterior wall 9 7/8" wide by 11 3/8" high to accommodate the firestop
sleeve assembly.
NOTE: THE FIRESTOP SLEEVE ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED
WITH THE 2" CLEARANCE TO THE TOP.
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.
1. Insert the firestop sleeve assembly into the wall, mark the wall
depth and trim the vent sleeve to suit. The screws that secure the
vent sleeve may need to be repositioned to ensure a rigid assembly
is maintained. Figure 25.
2. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the inside surface of the
firestop flange and secure the assembly to the wall. (Ensure that the
rectangular shaped assembly is installed
to maintain 2" from the top of the vent).
Figure 26.
3. Once the vent pipe is installed in it's final
position, apply high temperature sealant
W573-0002 (not supplied) between the pipe
and the firestop.
NOTE: DO NOT FILL THE CAVITY
BETWEEN THE PIPE AND THE
VENT SLEEVE WITH ANY TYPE OF
MATERIAL.
1. Assemble the two halves of the vent sleeve by aligning the holes that come
together to make a rectangular shape (lip to the outside). Secure using 6 of the
screws supplied in the manual baggie.
NOTE: SCREWS NOT REQUIRED IN TWO BLIND HOLES. See Figure 24.
2. Fit the firestop spacer into one end of the vent sleeve and secure through
the aligned holes on the top, bottom, and sides with the remaining 5 screws
supplied.

This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for various roof pitches are available from your Napoleon®
dealer. See Accessories to order the specific kit required.
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a 9½" square opening in the ceiling and the roof
to provide the minimum 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.
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. 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.
3. 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.

Having determined the correct height for the air terminal location, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall 9 7/8" wide by 11 3/8" high to
accommodate the firestop assembly. Dry fit the firestop assembly before proceeding to ensure the brackets on the rear surface fit within
the horizontal framing.
As an alternative to framing, the vent pipe/liner can be enclosed in the wall using Napoleon®vent sleeve VS47KT.
NOTE: THE FIRESTOP ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED WITH THE VENT SHIELD TO
THE TOP.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter for combustible
walls that are less than 8 1/2" thick but in these cases the vent
shield must extend the full depth of the combustible wall.
1. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the outer edge
of the inside surface of the firestop assembly, fit the firestop
assembly to the hole and secure using the 4 screws W570-0026
(supplied in your manual baggie).
2. Once the vent pipe liner is installed in its final position, apply
high temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied) between
the pipe / liner, and the firestop. This restricts cold air from being
drawn into the room or around the fireplace.
NOTE: DO NOT FILL THE CAVITY BETWEEN THE PIPE / LINER, FIRESTOP
SLEEVE, AND THE FRAME WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.

USING FLEXIBLE VENT COMPONENTS
Use only approved flex vent pipe kits marked:
“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.

FIGURE 31
Six inches (6”) is the minimum bend radius allowed for the
7” flex vent pipe.
Do not allow the 4" flex 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" flex 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" flex vent pipe at
predetermined intervals to maintain a
1-1/4” air gap to the 7" flex vent pipe.
These spacers must not be removed.
