LOCATION & CLEARANCES
5
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing
and operating the stove.
Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
CDVS600 AND CS600
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the
required distances, the most desirable and beneficial location for a Continental stove is in the centre 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 stove 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.
MAINTAIN THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES:

side walk or pa ved dr i vew a y whic h is lo cat e d
between two
single family dwellings and serves
both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may
require different cl
earances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal
or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it
pulled tight. A 1-1/
4" air gap all around between the inner liner and outer
stove pipe is required for
safe operation. Use a firestop
when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.

DIRECT VENT SPECIFICS - MODEL CDVS600
VENTING LENGTHS &
AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
Use only Wolf Steel or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS
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, follow
the installation procedure provided with the venting components. Both Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent venting
components may have a 0" rise per foot on horizontal runs.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only the
following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175 (7-1/2' of
venting included), or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL
KIT GD110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111,
FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD11 2 or STOVE PERISCOPE
KIT GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunc-
tion with the appropriate venting components.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per
foot.
These vent kits allow for either
horizontal or vertical venting of
the stove. The maximum
number of 4" flexible
connections is two horizontally
or three vertically (excluding
FIGURE 4
the stove and the air terminal
connections).
When terminating vertically, the minimum vertical rise is
34 inches above the stove and the maximum vertical rise
is 40 feet. FIGURE 4.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid piping
to the stove for ease of installation.
For optimum flame appearance and stove 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.

The maximum horizontal run is 34 inches with a 90
elbow
located 29" above the stove. FIGURE 5.
The maximum horizontal run with a 57 inch vertical rise
immediately above the stove is 20 feet . FIGURES 6a & b.
IF VERTICAL RISES GREATER THAN 57 INCHES ARE NECESSARY, THE INCREASED RISE MUST BE DEDUCTED FROM THE
MAXIMUM HORIZONTA L RUN.
HORIZONTAL RUN NOT TO
EXCEED VERTICAL RISE
Use the chart on this page to calculate horizontal runs for
vertical rises between 29 and 57 inches. W hen calculating

SPECIAL INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
When a horizontal offset is required in a through-the-roof
installation, the following procedure for vent length calculations must be followed:
In an installation as shown in FIGURES
9 & 12, lengths A and C are known
based on room height and roof requirements.
Length C must never be less than 29
inches. Any 90° and 45° elbows must
be calculated as 5 feet of venting
each.
The allowable horizontal run can be
calculated using these parameters. In
this example, the total vertical height is
20 feet (length "A" is required to be 11
feet while length "C" needs to be 9 feet).
The maximum vertical length is 40 feet
and all runs and elbows must be subtracted from this maximum vertical
length.
The maximum allowable horizontal run that "B" can be is:
40 ft. (maximum vertical run length)
-11 ft. (through the roof vertical rise "A")
-10 ft. (2 - 90° elbow)
- 9 ft. (vertical run
10 ft. (maximum allowable horizontal length for "B")
The length of "B" must never be greater than the length
of "A" and "C" combined.

If a first run of 120 inches is re-
quired, using the "First Vent Run"
on the chart shows that a maxi-
mum second run of 60 inches
is allowable.
IF NECESSAR Y, THE FIRST
RUN AND THE SECOND
RUN MAY BE REVERSED.
