VENTING

VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMI­NAL LOCA TIONS

Use only Napoleon 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 these installations, are set out in this
manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent,
follow the installation procedure provided with the venting
components. All vent pipe connections must be sealed
when using any of these vent systems.

When using Napoleon venting components, use only ap­proved Wolf Steel Ltd. rigid / flexible vent 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 GD11 1, 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. These vent kits allow
for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace. FIG-
URES 2, 3, & 5.

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

f i r e - p a r t s . c o m

is unobstructed and undamaged.

Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all
cases using Simpson Dura-Vent or Napoleon rigid or
flexible venting components when venting as illustrated
in Figures 2a, 2b and 2c.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.

FIGURES 2a - d

When a horizontal offset is
required in a through-the­roof installation, the follow­ing procedure for vent
length calculations must be
followed:

In an installation as shown
in FIGURE 4, lengths A and
C are known based on room
height and roof require­ments. Any 90° and 45° el-

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

The length of "B" must never be greater than the length

venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum or the maximum vertical

vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/
or carboning.

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 1-1/4"
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.

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 r equir e different c learances .

The fireplace must be installed against finished walls.
Do not install against a vapour barrier or exposed insu­lation.

Minimum clearance to combustible construction
from fireplace and vent surfaces:

sides, back, bottom and top 0 inches
sides, and bottom of the vent pipe 1 inch

top of the vent pipe 2 inches
recessed depth 12 inches

**

* A clearance to combustibles of 2" at the vent pipe top

must be maintained for the first 12" of venting. The firestop
spacer GA-010-612 supplied with the unit must be used to
maintain this clearance. Thereafter a 1" clearance to
combustibles may be maintained using the firestop spacer
GD-500.96 for use with flexible venting or firestop spacer

INSTALL ATION

WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

For optimum performance, it is recommended

that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch

rise per foot.

For safe and proper operation of the fireplace,

follow the venting instructions exactly .

HORIZONTAL INST ALLA TION:

This application occurs when
venting through an exterior wall.
Figures 2a-d. Having deter­mined the air terminal location,
cut and frame a hole in an exte­rior wall with a minimum open­ing of 9½" x 10½". (As an alter­native to framing, a vent pipe
shield may be installed, ensur­ing the correct 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 framework or to the shield plate (in the
case of a finished wall) and secure the shield through the

f i r e - p a r t s . c o m

opening to the interior wall. The final location of the vent
pipe shield should maintain the required clearance to the
7" vent pipe / liner. Do not fill this cavity with any type of
material. 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.

VERTICAL INST ALLA TION:

This application occurs
when venting through a
roof. FIGURE 3 . Installa-
tion kits for various 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 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 joist 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.

HORIZONT AL AIR TERMINAL IN­STALLATION

FIGURE 11

EXTENDED HORIZONT AL AND COR­NER AIR TERMINAL INST ALLA TION

A 45° corner installation must have 6 inch minimum rise
between the fireplace combustion air collar and the air ter­minal. FIGURE 2 d. 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. FIGURE 2c. Use the GD220
vent kit and couplers for this application.

If more than one length of liner needs to be used to reach
the fireplace, couple them together as illustrated below.
Seal the joints using the same procedure as described in
point 2. The vent system must be supported approximately
every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Napo­leon support ring assemblies, GA-GD-010.370 or equiva­lent noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum
clearance to combustibles as well as to prevent sagging.

Spacers are attached to the 4" inner flex liner at prede­termined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7"
outer liner. These spacers must not be removed.

FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERA TION OF THE FIREPLACE,

FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTL Y .

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
ALL HORIZONTAL RUNS HAVE A MINIMUM ¼ INCH RISE
PER FOOT .

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
Napoleon support ring assembly GA-GD-010.370 or
equivalent noncombustible strapping to maintain the mini­mum clearance to combustibles for both vertical and hori­zontal runs.

HORIZONT AL AIR TERMINAL IN­STALLATION

1. Move the fireplace into position. Measure the vent length
required between terminal and fireplace taking into account
the additional length needed for the finished wall surface
and any 1¼" overlaps between venting components.

2. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of
the 4" inner collar of the fireplace. Attach the first vent com­ponent and secure using 3 self tapping screws. Repeat
using 7" piping.

3. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, read­able position), insert into both vent pipes with a twisting
motion to ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage
into the vent pipes and the sealant. Secure the terminal to
the exterior wall and make weather tight by sealing with

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.

MOBILE HOME INST ALLA TION

In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori­zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be
installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" for installation.

The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes lo­cated in the front left and right corners of the base. For
mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened
in place. Use screws, inserted through the holes in the
base to secure. It is recommended that the fireplace be
secured in all installations.

Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the
source, prior to moving the mobile home.

After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the
fireplace, ensur e that the logs ar e positioned corr ectly .

GAS INST ALLA TION

Proceed once the vent installation is complete.

1. Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L cop-

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.

Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow
when exposed to direct flame and provide a unique and
realistic glowing effect. Use only certified PHAZERTM 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.

Place the bottom of log #5 against the right outermost grate
post and the top into the pocket provided on the center log

the small carry-over ports only. Care should be taken to
shred the embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only
the exposed edges of the fibre hairs will glow when ex­posed to direct flame; however care should be taken to not
block the burner ports. Blocked ports can cause an incor­rect flame pattern, carbon deposits and delayed ignition.

Randomly place the charcoal embers behind the grate
posts and around the logs in a realistic manner but not in
contact with the flames. Keep ember dust away from burner
ports to avoid plugging them.

OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS

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:

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.

f i r e - p a r t s . c o m

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
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. Stop! Follow "B" in the above
safety information on this label. If you don't smell gas go
the next step.

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.

'OFF' position.

Pilot goes out when
the gas knob is re­leased.

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.

Spark gap is incorrect - spark gap should be 0.150" to 0.175" (5/32" to 1 1/64" approx.) from

No gas at the pilot burner

- turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot flame flutters, dimin­ishes or extinguishes, especially when main burner ignites. Moni­tor appliance supply working pressure.

- check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all undersized
piping.

- purge the gas line with the glass door removed.

- turn up the pilot flame.

- gently twist the pilot head to improve the flame pattern around the
thermocouple.

- loosen and tighten thermocouple.

- clean thermocouple and valve connection.

- replace thermocouple.

- replace valve.

- replace.

- connect a jumper wire across the wall switch terminals; if main
burner lights, replace switch / thermostat.

- disconnect switch wires from valve & connect a jumper wire across
terminals 1 & 3; if the main burner lights, check the wires for defects
and / or replace wires.

- check pressure readings:
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clock­wise 2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the
test point. Gauge should read 7" (minimum 4.5") water column for
natural gas or 13" (11" minimum) water column for propane. Check
that main burner is operating on "HI".

Flame is impinging on the
logs or combustion cham­ber.

- ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other obstructions.

- check that the logs are correctly positioned.

- open air shutter to increase the primary air.

- check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and orifice size
as specified by the rating plate values.

- check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing and that the
seal is tight.

- check that both 4" and 7" vent liners are free of holes and well
sealed at all joints.

- check that minimum rise per foor has been adhered to for any
horizontal venting.
