VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or American Metal Amerivent 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, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure provided with the venting components.
All outer pipe joints of these venting systems must be sealed using Red RTV High Temperature Sealant.
A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent systems and may be purchased from the corresponding supplier:
PART 4"/7" SUPPLIER
Duravent W175-0053 Wolf Steel Amerivent 4DSC-N2 American Metal Direct T emp 4DT-AAN Selkirk
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.
VENTING
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.
The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. 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.
Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all cases using Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, or American 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 inch rise per foot when using Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent or Wolf Steel rigid vent components and a minimum 1 inch rise per foot when using Wolf Steel flexible vent comonents. For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the venting instructions exactly.

ALL MODELS: 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. A 1¼" 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.

flexible vent. For all other venting configurations, flexible vent is acceptable. When venting either a GD33 or a BGD33, the horizontal run must be kept to a maximum of 24 inches. A GD33 must be kept to a minimum of 12 inches and a BGD33 must be kept to a minimum of 8 inches. When terminating verti­cally, the vertical rise is a minimum 36 inches to a maxi­mum 40 feet from the centre of the fireplace flue outlet.

* A clearance to combustibles of 2" at the vent pipe top must be maintained. The firestop spacer W010-1777sup- plied with the unit must be used to maintain this clear­ance. ** The first 5 1/8" of finishing material above the GD34 must be non-combustible. The header must be steel.
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 betweeen 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.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the door. Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition. Six (6") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for the 7" diameter flexible liner.

GD34/BGD34 HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall. Having determined the correct height for the air terminal location, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall 9 7/8 inches wide by 11 3/8 inches high to accomodate the firestop assembly. Dry fit the firestop assembly before proceeding to ensure the brackets on the rear surface fit to the inside surface of 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 ASSEMBL Y MUST BE INST ALLED WITH THE VENT SHIELD TO THE TOP.
1. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the corner edge of the inside surface of the firestop assembly, fit the firestop assembly to the hole and secure using the 4 screws (W415-0026) supplied in your manual baggie.
2. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply high temperature sealant (not supplied) between the pipe/liner and the firestop.

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.
FIGURE 23
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9½ inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum clearance between the fireplace pipe / liner and any combustible material. Try to center the exhaust 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 / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant 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 prevent any materials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe.

EXTENDED HORIZONTAL AND CORNER
AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
A 45° corner installation can have 0 inch rise between the fireplace combustion air collar and the air terminal. In this case, vent lengths must be kept to a maxi­mum of 24". For longer vent lengths, a minimum vertical rise of 24" is required.
1. Follow the instructions for "Horizontal Air Terminal In-
stallations".
2. Continue adding components alternating inner and outer venting. Ensure that all 4" venting and elbows have sufficient vent spacers attached and each component is sealed and securely fastened to the one prior. Attach the 4" telescopic sleeve to the vent run. Repeat using a 7" tel­escopic sleeve. Seal and secure as before. To facilitate completion, attach 4" and 7" couplers to the air terminal.
3.Install the air terminal. See item 3 , Horizontal Air Ter- minal Installation. Extend the 4" telescopic sleeve; apply
sealant and connect to the air terminal assembly. Fasten with self tapping screws. Repeat using the 7" telescopic sleeve.

4. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the inner sleeve of the air ter­minal. Slip a 4" diameter coupler a minimum of 2" over the sleeve and secure using 3 screws.
If the attic space is tight, we recommend threading
the Wolf Steel vent pipe collar or equivalent loosely onto the air terminal assembly as it is passed through the attic. The air terminal must be located vertically and plumb.
7. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the
sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi­nal and slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly centered 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 flash­ing with roofing material.
8. 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 centered between the air intake and air exhaust slots onto the air terminal. Tighten securely. Attach the rain cap.
9. 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.
10. Run a bead of high temperature sealant around the outside of the 4" elbow. Pull the adjustable pipe a mini­mum 2" onto the elbow. Secure with 3 screws. Repeat with the 7" telescopic pipe.
11. 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.
RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS (GD33 ONLY)
Vertical installations may dis­play a very active flame. If this appearance is not desirable, remove the baffle plate from the rear wall of the firebox, ex­posing the flue gas outlet opening. Reverse the restrictor plate, superimpos­ing the flue outlet hole with the smaller restrictor plate opening. Replace the baffle plate. This reduces the veloc­ity of the exhaust gases, slow­ing down the flame pattern and creating a more tradi­tional flame appearance.
RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS (BGD34 & GD34)
Vertical terminations running longer than 15 feet may dis­play a very active flame. If this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be restricted using the restrictor plate. This reduces the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing down the flame pattern and creating a more traditional appearance. Note: Some vent configurations may cause excessive air flow around the pilot flame and contribute to pilot outage. In this case the restrictor plate can be installed over the flue opening to stabilize the pilot flame.

Remove the screws securing the restrictor plate and ro­tate the plate 180°. Secure using the same two screws through the existing holes.
RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS (BGD33 ONLY)
Warning: This restrictor (located in the lower valve compartment) must not be installed on any vent configuration that has a horizontal termination or vertical vent with vertical termination less than 10'.
Vertical installations over 10' may display a very active flame. If this appearance is not desirable, install the restrictor plate. This reduces the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing down the flame pattern and creating a more traditional flame appearance.

GAS INSTALLATION
Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
1. Route a
per tubing or equivalent to the fireplace.
2. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a convenient location. Route 2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire through the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of the unit. The recommended maximum lead length depends on wire size:
Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the gas valve.
FIGURE 37
Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or gas valve to electricity (110 volts).
3. Install rigid black pipe, ½" type-L copper tubing or, if local codes permit, a 3/8" flex connector and shutoff valve to the gas line and the fireplace gas valve. Seal and tighten securely. An adapter fitting is required between the gas valve and the copper tubing or flex connector.
DO NOT KINK FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR.
4. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution.

FIGURE 43
WARNING: Use only non-combustible material such as cement board, ceramic tile, marble, etc. when finishing to the fireplace. DO NOT USE WOOD
FRAMING CONTINUED
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. In the case of the GD34, the header must be a steel stud.
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 install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall, position the framework to accomodate the thickness of the finished wall.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fireplace system.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac­commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi­als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.
BGD33 NAILING TAB INSTALLATION
1) Attach the nailing t abs to the corner posts using the 2 sheet metal screws supplied. Secure through the centre of the top and bottom slots in the nail­ing tab and then through the existing holes in the corner posts.
If there are no existing holes, follow these instructions:
NAILING TAB
Position the nailing tab so that the front face is offset with the front edge of the corner post (approx. ½"). Cen­tre the nailing tab vertically on the cor­ner post.
Figure 45a.
Drill through the centre of the top and bottom slots in the nailing tab. Secure using the two sheet metal screws supplied. This allows the nailing tab
FIGURE 44
to slide back and forth for desired framing. Figure 45b.
2) To determine the final location of the nailing tab you must first determine the thickness of your finishing mate­rial (i.e. drywall).

LOG PLACEMENT
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern, carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZER® logs glow when exposed to direct flame and provide a unique and realistic glowing effect. Use only certified PHAZER® logs available from your Napoleon® / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
Positioning the logs improperly will cause flame impinge­ment and carboning.
Log colours may vary . During the initial use of the fireplace, the colours will become more uniform as colour pigments burn in during the heat activated curing process.

OPTIONAL BLOWER INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED IN­STALLER and must be electrically connected and grounded
in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.
If the fireplace was not previ­ously equipped with a blower:
route a grounded 2-wire, 60hz power cable to the receptacle /
FIGURE 59
The three slots on the blower mount­ing bracket allow ease of adjustment when attaching the blower. For a quiet running blower, do not allow the as­sembly to sit on the firebox base.
Slide the vibration reducing pad (A) into the clip (C) and up against the threaded stud (B) at the other end. The blower must be able to be positioned entirely onto the pad.
Tilt the blower onto its side. Slide it past the controls and into the clip (C). Secure to the threaded stud using the lock washer and wing nut provided. Ensure that the blower does not touch the fireplace base or the firebox.

has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the output of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearing causing irreparable damage and must be pre­vented from coming into contact with the blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.
OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
29
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before installing the door. When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary con­dition caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn­in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manu­facturing process and will not occur again.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING: WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit
by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the fireplace area
for gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never
use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under wa­ter.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
After extended periods of non-operation such as fol­lowing a vacation or a warm weather season, the fire­place may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. In both cases, open a window to sufficiently venti­late the room.
• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.
• Open windows.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas
supplier, call the fire depart ment.
FIGURE 65
GAS KNOB
WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock device which will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermocou­ple has cooled. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the thermocouple to cool.
When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be turned from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed
slightly.
1. Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.
2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas including near the floor. S top! Follow "B" in the above safety information on this label. If you don't smell gas go the next step.
TO TURN OFF GAS
1. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is to be performed.
TURN THE CONTROL VALVE TO THE OFF POSITION WHEN HEATER IS NOT IN USE.
5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
6. Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the
pilot with the push button ignitor. Keep knob depressed for one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue to burn, repeat steps 3 through 5.
7. With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clock­wise t o on.
8. If equipped with remote on-off switch/thermostat, main burner may not come on when you turn valve to on. Remote switch must be in the on position to ignite burner.
9. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.
FIGURE 66
2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do not force.

TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv­icing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan­gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This fireplace and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service per­son. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable va­pours and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly , remove the logs to expose both assemblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacu­uming or brushing, at least once a year.
MAINTENANCE
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burn­ing properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches to­ward the burner with the third jet.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on
all openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on. A 5 to 10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If igni­tion takes longer, consult your Napoleon® dealer / distribu­tor.
7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.
ADJUSTMENTS
PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.
FIGURE 67
FIGURE 68
VENTURI ADJUSTMENT
All fireplace models have air shutters that have been fac­tory set open according to the chart below. These settings are for maximum horizontal / terminations. Adjustments may be required depending on fuel type, vent configuration and altitude. Closing the air shutter will cause a more yel­low flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the air shut­ter will cause a more blue flame, but can cause flame lift­ing from the burner ports. The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame col­our to be established.
