LOCATION & CLEARANCES

Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the stove.

Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.

GDS60 AND GS60

As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the required distances, the most desirable and beneficial location for a Napoleon 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:

DIRECT VENT SPECIFICS - MODEL GDS60

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 GD112 or STOVE PERISCOPE KIT GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunction 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 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 90o 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 HORIZONTAL RUN.

SPECIAL INSTALLATION EXAMPLE

 

OFFSET 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 sub-

tracted from this maximum vertical FIGURE 9 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 "C")

10 ft. (maximum allowable horizontal length for "B")

The length of "B" must never be greater than the length of "A" and "C" combined.

The maximum allowable horizontal run that "A" in Figure 13 can be is:

40 ft. (maximum vertical run length)

- 7 ft. (horizontal run "B")

33 ft. (maximum allowable vertical length for "A")

FIGURE 10

If a first run of 120 inches is required, using the "First Vent Run" on the chart shows that a maximum second run of 60 inches is allowable.

IF NECESSARY, THE FIRST

FIGURE 11

RUN AND THE SECOND

RUN MAY BE REVERSED.
