When using Napoleon venting components, use only the following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222, or 1/12 TO 7/
12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD1 1 1, FLA T ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD1 12
or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall penetration below grade) 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. FIGURES 2, 3, & 4. The maximum number of
4" flexible connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the fireplace and the air terminal connections).
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.

FIGURES 2a - d

Horizontal runs can have a 0 inch rise per foot using Simpson Dura-Vent , Napoleon rigid or flexible venting
components when venting as illustrated in Figur e 2a - c.

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 v ertical runs and elbows . Kee p 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 when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
Vent lengths tha t pass through unhea ted spaces (attics , gara ges , crawl spaces) should be insulated with insula tion
and wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize consensation.

Minimum clearance to combustible construction from fireplace to vent surfaces:

sides, back, bottom, and top 0 inches
vent pipe 1 inch
recessed depth 13-3/4 inches

When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a minimum of 8 inches
inches.If a greater horizontal run is required, the fireplace must have a minimum vertical rise
immediately off the fireplace of 24 inches. With this configuration, the horizontal run can be
between a minimum of 13 inches and a maximum of 96 inches.
ing vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum 36 inches and a maximum 40 feet from the centre of
the fireplace flue outlet.

For safe and pr oper oper a tion of the fireplace , follow the venting instr uctions e xactly.
On all horizontal runs, when determining air terminal locations, check for appropriate rise per

foot requirements.
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.

Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it
pulled tight. A 1¼" air gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is required for
safe operation. Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.

INSTALLATION

WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERA TION OF THE FIREPLACE, FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION: This application occurs when venting through

an exterior wall. FIGURES 2a-c. Having determined the air terminal location, cut and
frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum square or round opening of 9½".
(As an alternative to framing, a vent pipe shield may be installed, ensuring a 1"
clearance to combustibles. See Figure 6.)

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

OR

secure the shield through the open­ing to the interior wall. The final lo-

cation 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.

FIGURE 6

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 1 inch 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 SP ACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MA TERIAL.
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insulation, from filling up the 1"
air space around the pipe. FIGURE 9. 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. FIGURE 8. A firestop must be placed on the

bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the venting system passes
through. FIGURE 7. 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

with the unit, to the inside of the 4" liner approximately 1" from the end.
Slip the liner a minimum of 2" over the fireplace vent collar and secure
with 3 #8 screws.

2. Using the 7" diameter flexible aluminum liner, apply sealant, slide
a minimum of 2 " over the fireplace combustion air collar and secure with
3 #8 screws.

3. Insert the liners through the firestop. Position and secure the fireplace using
the nailing tabs (2 per side) and/or secure to the floor using screws inserted through
the two ¼" diameter holes in the front left and right corners of the base. The liners should
be flush with the exterior wall. The air teminal plate may be recessed up to a maximum of 3/

4

" into the exterior wall or siding.

4. From outside, apply a bead of the high temperature sealant to the inside of both liners, approxi­mately 1" from the end of each liner.

5. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readable position), insert into both liners with a twisting motion to
ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the liners / sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and make
weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).

A 45° corner installation must have 6 inch minimum rise between the fireplace combustion air collar and the air
terminal. FIGURE 2d. In this case, vent lengths must be kept to a maximum of 36". For longer vent lengths, a minimum
vertical rise of 24" is required. FIGURE 2c. Use the GD220 vent kit and couplers for this application.

1. Follow the instructions for "Horizontal Air Terminal Installations"., items 1 through 5.

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.

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 1" clearance to combustibles.
