GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SA TISF ACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 27,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above
4,500ft, and in the absense of specific recommendations
from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high
altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for
each additional 1,000ft. Maximum output for natural gas is
23,220 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 86% with the fan on, and
23,814 BTU/hr for propane at an efficiency of 88% with the
fan on. Minimum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency)
rating is 64% for natural gas and 65% for propane.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water
column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for
propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water
column for natural gas and 13 inches water column for
propane. Manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5
inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water
column for propane.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bedsitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation. The natural gas model can only be installed in
a mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site
and fueled with natural gas.
CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff
lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16" ceramic
glass available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. Clean the glass after
the first 10 hours of operation with a recommended gas
fireplace glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required. DO
NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! If the glass is not kept
clean permanent discolouration and / or blemishes may
result.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is
required for the gas system operation.
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.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several
minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
Six inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for
the 7" diameter flexible liner.
Provide adequa te ventilation air. Provide adequa te
accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the fireplace . Nev er obstruct the fr ont opening
of the fireplace .

VENTING
VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
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 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.
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 GD1 10, 8/12 TO 12/
12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TERMINAL
KIT GD112 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, 5 &
6. 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.
When terminating vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum
3 feet and a maximum 40 feet above the fireplace.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly .
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
If vertical rises grea ter than 57 inches are necessary , the
increased rise must be deducted from the horizontal run.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or
ceiling.
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.
The fireplace must be installed against finished walls.
Do not install against a vapour barrier or exposed insulation.
Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all cases
using Simpson Dura-Vent or Napoleon flexible or rigid vent-ing components when venting as illustrated in Figures 3a-c.
FIGURE 2
When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a
mum of 11 inches or a maximum of 20 feet. If a 20 foot
horizontal run is required, the fireplace must have a minimum vertical rise immediately off the fireplace of 57
inches. FIGURES 3a-c.

CALCULATED HORIZONTAL VENT RUN IN FEET
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 equire different clearances .
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or
vertical runs and elbows . K ee p 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.
SPECIAL INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
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 5, lengths A and
C are known based on
room height and roof requirements. Any 90° and
45° elbows must be calculated as 5 feet of venting
except for the one im-except for the one im-

which is excludedwhich is excluded
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
of "A" and "C" combined.
