GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!
Maximum input is 35,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 33,000
BTU/hr for 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 28,350 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 81%; and
26,400 BTU/hr for propane at an efficiency of 80%. Minimum
A.F.U.E. 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.
W415-0272 / C / 05.08.03

This fireplace may be installed in an aftermarket per-
manently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where
not prohibited by local codes.
This fireplace is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This fireplace is not convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified
kit is used.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required for the gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction nosies during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected. Change
in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in
natural gas than in propane.
VENTING
VENTING LENGTHS & 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 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.
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 GD1 10, 8/12
TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF
TERMINAL KIT GD1 12 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.
FIGURES 2, 3, & 5.
The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet.
The maximum number of allowable 4" vent connections is
two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the fire-
place 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.
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 Lt d. 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.
FIGURES 2a - d
When venting, the horizontal run must be kept
to a
minimum of 12 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 2a-c. When terminating
vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum 34
inches and a maximum 40 feet above the fireplace. FIGURE 3.
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.
FIGURE 3
W415-0272 / C / 05.08.03
6
For optimum performance, it is recommended
that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch
rise per foot.
Wolf Steel rigid and flexible venting systems must
not be combined. Wolf steel and Simpson Duravent venting systems must not be combined.
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.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces
(attics, garages, crawl space) should be wrapped
with a protective insulation sleeve to minimize
condensation.
Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls,
floor or ceiling.
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', (i.e.
drywall/sheetrock) as would any other outside
wall of the home. This will ensure that clearance
to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
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 greater than 57 inches are necessary, the increased rise must be deducted from
the horizontal run.
Use the chart on this page to calculate horizontal runs for
vertical rises between 12 and 57 inches. FIGURE 4.
When calculating maximum run lengths, include 5 feet for
each 90° elbow or 5 feet for each 45° elbow. (DO NOT
INCLUDE THE FIRST ELBOW DIRECTL Y OFF THE UNIT.)
FIGURE 4
SPECIAL INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
When a horizontal offset is required in a through-the-roof
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.
Length C must never be less than 12
inches. Any 90° and 45° elbows 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
of "A" and "C" combined.
Only the following Napoleon Vent Kits, used in combination with each other can be used:
GD201, GD222, GD110, GD111 or GD112 (Periscope, Wall
or Roof Terminals)
and
GD220 (5ft vent kit) or/and GD330 (10ft vent kits)
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.

INSTALLATION
WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
For optimum performance it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot
using flexible venting.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the
venting instructions exactly.
HORIZONTAL TERMINATION: A clearance to combustibles of 2" must be maintained during the first 24" of
venting when penetrating combustible walls. The
firestop spacer (GD-500.106 ) supplied with the unit
should be used to maintain this clearance. The first two
feet of outer 7" diameter vent pipe, from the appliance
must be wrapped in the 1 inch thick insulation sleeve
(supplied) as well as having a 1 inch air gap. Thereafter
a 1" clearance to combustibles may be maintained using firestop spacer (GD-500.96 for use with flexible venting or GD-500.136 for use with rigid venting).
VERTICAL TERMINATION: Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all around the vent pipe is required.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
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 square or
round opening of 11½"*. (As an
alternative to framing, a vent pipe
shield may be installed, ensuring
a 1" clearance to combustibles.
FIGURE 7
*
OR
FIGURE 8
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 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.
W415-0272 / C / 05.08.03
VERTICAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs
FIGURE 9
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.
*
The 11½ inch framing dimension may be reduced to a
9½ inch opening if the vent length, from the fireplace to
the framed hole, is 24 inches or greater. If not, it is recommended to use a terminal extension plate, W500-0103,
when mounting the air terminal.
