s long as the required clearance to combustibles is
maintained, the most desirable and benefi cial location for an appliance is in the center of a building, thereby
allowing the most effi cient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow in the
room where the appliance 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 fl oor or roof joist.

If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood
fl ooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.

Some appliances have optional fans or blowers. If an optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must
be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with 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.

NOTE: Non-combustible fi nishing material (i.e. Cement board, brick, stone, tile) must be used to fi nish

3.0 VENTING

RISK OF FIRE, MAINTAIN SPECIFIED AIR SPACE CLEARANCES TO VENT PIPE AND APPLIANCE.

IF VENTING IS INCLUDED WITH SPACERS THE VENT SYSTEM MUST BE SUPPORTED EVERY 3 FEET

FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. USE SUPPORTS OR EQUIVALENT

NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE FROM

COMBUSTIBLES. USE WOLF STEEL LTD. SUPPORT RING ASSEMBLY W010-0370 OR EQUIVALENT

NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. SPACERS ARE ATTACHED TO THE INNER PIPE AT

PREDETERMINED INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN AIR GAP TO THE OUTER PIPE. THIS GAP IS
REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION. A SPACER IS REQUIRED AT THE START, MIDDLE AND END OF

EACH ELBOW TO ENSURE THIS GAP IS MAINTAINED. THESE SPACERS MUST NOT BE REMOVED.

For safe and proper operation of the fi replace follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the minimum
vertical vent length can create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Under extreme vent confi gurations,
allow several minutes (5-15) for the fl ame to stabilize after ignition. Provide a means for visually checking the vent
connection to the fi replace after the fi replace is installed. Use a fi restop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield
when penetrating interior walls, fl oor or ceiling.

!

WARNING

This fi replaces uses 8” exhaust / 10” air intake vent pipe system.

Refer to the section applicable to your installation.

NOTE: If for any reason the vent air intake system is disassembled; reinstall per the instructions provided
for the initial installation.

3.1 VENTING LENGTHS AND COMPONENTS

For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust fl ue, 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
fi replace fl ue collar which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel fl exible components with the

following termination kits: wall terminal kit GD622R, or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD610, 8/12 to 12/12
roof terminal kit GD611 or fl at roof terminal kit GD612. With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the various
terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD620 or the 10 foot vent kit GD630.

For optimum fl ame appearance and fi replace 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 minimum allowable vertical vent length is 3 feet maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The
maximum number of allowable 8” vent connections is three horizontally or vertically (excluding the fi replace and
the air terminal connections).

When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a minimum of 36“ or a maximum of 20 feet. If a 20 foot
horizontal run is required, the fi replace must have a minimum vertical rise immediately off the fi replace of 57”.
When terminating vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum 36“ and a maximum 40 feet above the fi replace.

7.3A

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fi replace after the fi replace is installed.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight.
A 3/4” air gap between the inner and outer liner all around is required for safe operation. Use a fi restop
when penetrating interior walls, fl oor or ceiling.

4.0 INSTALLATION

FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE, FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS

ALL INNER EXHAUST AND OUTER INTAKE VENT PIPE JOINTS MAY BE SEALED USING EITHER RED

RTV HIGH TEMP SILICONE SEALANT W573-0002 (NOT SUPPLIED) OR BLACK HIGH TEMP MILL PAC

W573-0007 (NOT SUPPLIED) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE APPLIANCE EXHAUST FLUE COLLAR

IF USING PIPE CLAMPS TO CONNECT VENT COMPONENTS, 3 SCREWS MUST ALSO BE USED TO

ENSURE THE CONNECTION CANNOT SLIP OFF.

RISK OF FIRE, EXPLOSION OR ASPHYXIATION. IMPROPER SUPPORT OF THE ENTIRE VENTING

SYSTEM MAY ALLOW VENT TO SAG AND SEPARATE. USE VENT RUN SUPPORTS AND CONNECT

VENT SECTIONS PER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

RISK OF FIRE, DO NOT ALLOW LOOSE MATERIALS OR INSULATION TO TOUCH THE VENT PIPE.

REMOVE INSULATION TO ALLOW FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE ATTIC SHIELD AND TO

MAINTAIN CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES.

WARNING

EXACTLY.

WHICH MUST BE SEALED USING MILL PAC.

DO NOT CLAMP THE FLEXIBLE VENT PIPE.

4.1 WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

!

DO NOT FILL THE SPACE BETWEEN THE VENT PIPE AND ENCLOSURE WITH ANY TYPE OF

MATERIAL. DO NOT PACK INSULATION OR COMBUSTIBLES BETWEEN CEILING FIRESTOPS.

ALWAYS MAINTAIN SPECIFIED CLEARANCES AROUND VENTING AND FIRESTOP SYSTEMS.

INSTALL WALL SHIELDS AND FIRESTOPS AS SPECIFIED. FAILURE TO KEEP INSULATION OR

OTHER MATERIALS AWAY FROM VENT PIPE MAY CAUSE FIRE.

For clearances to combustible materials from the vent pipe, see “FRAMING” section.

4.1.1 HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

A

THE FIRESTOP ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED WITH THE VENT SHIELD TO THE TOP.

TERMINALS MUST NOT BE RECESSED INTO A WALL OR SIDING MORE THAN THE DEPTH OF THE

RETURN FLANGE OF THE MOUNTING PLATE.

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 as
illustrated to accommodate the fi restop assembly.
Dry fi t the fi restop assembly before proceeding to
ensure the brackets on the rear surface fi t to the
inside surface of the horizontal framing.

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.

. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the corner edge of
the inside surface of the fi restop assembly, fi t the fi restop
assembly to the hole and secure using the 4 screws (supplied in your
manual baggie).

4.1.2 VERTICAL INSTALLATION

This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for
various roof pitches are available from your authorized dealer / distributor. See
accessories to order specifi c kits required.

A. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a square opening as

illustrated in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1“ 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. A vent pipe shield will
prevent any materials such as insulation, from fi lling up the 1” air space
around the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.

B. 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 fi nished ceiling),
and secure over the opening in the ceiling. A fi restop 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 fi restop spacer over
the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the
fi replace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to
combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant
between the pipe and the fi restop assembly.

C. 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 fi lling up the 1” air space
around the pipe.
