GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with
local codes. In absence of local codes, install to the cur-
rent CAN/CGA -B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988, and NFPA 54-
1988 in the United States. Suitable for mobile home instal-
lation if installed in accordance with the current standard
CAN/CSA Z240MH Series, for gas equipped mobile homes,
in Canada or ANSI Z223.1-1988 and NFPA 54-1988 in the
United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burnerbefore installingthedoor.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several min-
utes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
Allhorizontalruns must have aminimum1inchrise per
footwhenusingNapoleonflexibleventingcomponents.
Eight (8") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed
for the 7" diameter flexible air liner.
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in ex-
cess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The fireplace must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl
tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring,
the fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth.
If the optional heat circulating blower is installed, the blower
must be electrically connected and grounded in accord-
ance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use

VENTING
Refer to page 16-19. The first 2 feet of outer 7 inch diam-
eter vent pipe from the appliance or from the unit to the first
firestop spacer (whichever distance is less) must be
wrapped in the 1 inch thick insulation sleeve (supplied) as
well as having a 1 inch air gap.
FRAMING
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. FIGURE 11.
To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall,
positionthe framework to accommodatethethickness
of the finished wall. The fireplace must be installed
against finished walls. Do not install against a vapour
barrier or exposed insulation.
Care should be taken to maintain sufficient clearance for
the vent installation. A horizontal vent installation requires
a minimum height of 42" (including the 2" clearance to
combustibles). FIGURE 12.

For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, fol-
low the venting instructions exactly.
HORIZONTALINSTALLATION:
This application occurs
when venting through an
exterior wall. FIGURES
4a-d. Having determined
the air terminal location,
cut and frame a hole in
an exterior wall with a
minimum square or
round opening of 11½".
(As an alternative to fram-
ing, a vent pipe shield
may be installed, ensur-
ing a 2" clearance to
combustibles.
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined
depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking
(not supplied) to the shield plate, centre a firestop spacer
over it and secure the shield to the firestop spacer. Apply a
bead of caulking all around the framed opening of the vent
shield or the firestop spacer. Place the spacer/shield as-
sembly over the framed opening in the wall and secure.
This will restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or
around the fireplace. The location of the vent pipe shield /
firestop assembly must maintain the required (2") clear-
ance to the 7" vent pipe / liner. Do not fill this cavity with any
type of material. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its
final position, apply sealant between the pipe / liner and
the firestop spacer.
VERTICAL INSTALLATION: This application occurs when
venting through a roof. FIGURE 2. Installation kits for vari-
ous 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
11½ inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the
minimum 2 inch clearance between the fireplace pipe /
liner and any combustible material. Try to centre the ex-
haust pipe location midway between two joist to prevent
having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the centre of
the openings.
Do not fill this space with any type of material.
Avent pipeshield will
prevent any materi-
als such as insula-
tion, 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) all around the
vent shield and place onto the firestop spacer. Secure.
Apply a bead of caulking to the framework and secure over
the opening in the ceiling. FIGURE 27. Ensure that both
spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to
combustibles. Place over the framed opening and secure.
This will restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or
around the fireplace. A firestop must be placed on the bot-
tom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the
venting system passes through. FIGURE 28. Once the
vent pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply seal-
ant between the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.
3. In the attic, after the pipe /
liner has been installed, slide
the vent pipe collar down to
cover up the open end of the
shield and tighten. This will pre-
vent any materials, such as in-
sulation, from filling up the 1" air
space around the pipe.

HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTAL-
LATION
1. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminium flexible liner to the
required length taking into account the additional length
needed for the finished wall surface. Apply a heavy bead of
the high temperature sealant, supplied with the unit, to the
inside of the 4" liner approximately 1" from the end. Slip the
liner a minimum of 2" over the fireplace vent collar and
secure with 3 #8 screws.
2. Using the 7" diameter flexible aluminium liner, apply
sealant, slide a minimum of 2" over the fireplace combus-
tion air collar and secure with 3 #8 screws.
3. Insert the liners through the firestop. Position and
secure the fireplace using the nailing tabs (2 per side)
and/or secure to the floor using screws inserted through
the two ¼" diameter holes in the front left and right corners
of the base. The liners should be flush with the exterior
wall.
The air terminal mounting plate may be recessed into
the exterior wall or siding by 1½", the depth of the return
flange.
4. From outside, apply a bead of the high temperature
sealant to the inside of both liners, approximately 1" from
the end of each liner.
5. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, read-
able position), insert into both liners with a twisting motion
to ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the
liners / sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and
make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).
6. If more liner needs to be used to reach the fireplace,
couple them together as illustrated in FIGURE 30. The vent
system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for
both vertical and horizontal runs. Use noncombustible strap-
ping to maintain the minimum 2" clearance to combustibles.

VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION
1. Fasten the roof sup-
port to the roof using the
screws provided. The
roof support is optional.
In this case the venting
is to be adequately sup-
ported using either an
alternate method suit-
able to the authority hav-
ing jurisdiction or the optional roof support.
2. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminium flexible liner to the
required length. Slip the liner a minimum of 2" over the
inner sleeve of the air terminal and secure with 3 #8 screws.
Seal using a heavy bead of the high temperature sealant.
3. Repeat using 7" diameter aluminium flexible liner.
4. Thread the air terminal
pipe assembly down through
the roof. The air terminal must
belocated verticallyand plumb.
Attach the air terminal assem-
bly to the roof support, ensur-
ing that a minimum 16" of air
terminal will penetrate the roof
when fastened.
DO NOT CLAMP THE FLEX-
IBLEALUMINIUMLINER.
5. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the
sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi-
nal and slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of
the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly cen-
tred 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 flash-
ing with roofing material.
6. Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2 inches
above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air
terminal and down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a
weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar
is achieved. Attach the other storm collar centred between
the air intake and the air exhaust slots onto the air termi-
nal. Tighten securely. FIGURE 33. Attach the vertical rain
cap.
Spacers are attached to the 4" inner flex liner at prede-
termined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7"
outer liner. These spacers must not be removed.
7. If more liner needs to be used to reach the fireplace,
couple them together as illustrated in FIGURE 30. The vent
system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for
both vertical and horizontal runs. Use noncombustible strap-
ping to maintain a clearance to combustibles of 2".
FIREPLACE VENT CONNECTION
1. Slide the insulation sleeve over the 7" diameter alu-
minium flex liner. The insulation sleeve is only required for
the first 24" off the fireplace or from the fireplace to the first
firestop spacer (whichever distance is less) and needs only
a 1" clearance.
2. Install the 4 inch diameter aluminium flexible liner to
the fireplace. Secure with 3 screws. Seal the joint and screw
holes using the high temperature sealant provided.
3. Install the 7 inch diameter aluminium flexible liner to
the fireplace. Attach and seal the joints. Pull the insulation

6.Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the
sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi-
nal and slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of
the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly cen-
tred 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 flash-
ing with roofing material.
7. Apply a heavy bead of waterproof caulking 2 inches
above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air
terminal and down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a
weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar
is achieved. Attach the other storm collar centred between
the air intake and air exhaust slots onto the air terminal.
Tighten securely. Attach the rain cap.
8. Continue adding rigid venting sections, sealing and
securing as above. Attach a 4" collapsed telescopic pipe
to the last section of rigid piping. Secure with screws and
seal. Repeat using a 7" telescopic pipe.
9. Run a bead of high temperature sealant around the
outside of the 4" elbow. Pull the adjustable pipe a mini-
mum 2" onto the elbow. Secure with 3 screws. Repeat with
the 7" telescopic pipe.
10. 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.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow
theventinginstructionsexactly.
Horizontalrunsmayhaveazeroinchriseperfoot using
Simpson Dura-Vent or Napoleon rigid venting compo-
nents.
The vent system must be supported approximately every 3
feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Napoleon
vent spacers WS-615-33 or equivalent every 3 feet and
either side of each elbow to maintain the minimum 1¼"
clearance between the outer and inner vent pipes. Use
noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum 2"
clearance to combustibles for both vertical and horizontal
runs.

the 4" inner collar of the fireplace. Attach the first vent
component and secure using 3 self tapping screws. Re-
peat using 7" piping.
2. Slide the insulation sleeve over the 7" pipe. The insu-
lation sleeve is only required for the first 2 feet off the fire-
place or from the fireplace to the first firestop spacer (which-
ever distance is less) and needs only a 1" clearance. Fig-
ure 34.
Ensure that the insulation sleeve is pulled tight to the
fireplace after all vent components are installed.
HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
