This appliance is designed to be attached to a 3” (76.2mm) co-linear aluminum fl ex vent system running the
full length of a masonry chimney.

The fl ex liners accommodate any contours of a
masonry chimney, however, it is necessary to keep
the fl exible liners as straight as possible. The inlet air
collar of the termination cap must be connected to
the air intake fl ex liner and the exhaust collar must be
connected to the exhaust fl exible liner.

Both Simpson Duravent and Selkirk co-linear to
co-axial adaptors have been approved on this
appliance (

Follow vent manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Different manufacturer’s venting components must
not be combined. Once the preferred manufacturer’s
appliance adaptor has been attached, the
remainder of the system must be that of the
same manufacturer.

The only exception to this rule is to use Wolf
Steel’s approved 3” (76.2mm) fl ex liner and
co-linear termination.

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" (25mm)
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" (25mm) 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 Mill Pac sealant (W573-0007) (not
supplied) or red RTV silicone (W573-0002) (not supplied) 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,

MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 2” (51mm) SPACE BETWEEN THE AIR INLET BASE AND THE STORM COLLAR.

Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws provided. The

roof support is optional. In this case the venting is to be adequately
supported using either an alternate method suitable to the authority
having jurisdiction or the optional roof support.

Stretch the inner fl ex pipe to the required length. Slip the inner fl ex

pipe a minimum of 2” (51mm) over the inner pipe of the air terminal
connector and secure with a minimum of three #8 screws, when 4/7,
5/8 and 3/5 venting is used and a minimum of six #8 screws when
using 8/10 or 8/11 venting. Seal using a heavy bead of Mill Pac
sealant (W573-0007) (not supplied).

Repeat using the outer fl ex pipe, using a heavy bead of red RTV

silicone (W573-0002) (not supplied) and a minimum of three #8
screws, when 4/7, 5/8 and 3/5 venting is used and a minimum of six
#8 screws when using 8/10 or 8/11 venting.

Thread the air terminal connector / vent pipe assembly down

through the roof. The air terminal must be positioned vertically
and plumb. Attach the air terminal connector to the roof support,
ensuring that the top of the air terminal is 16” (406mm) above the
highest point that it penetrates the roof.

Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the air

terminal connector. Place the fl ashing over the air terminal connector
leaving a min. 3/4” (19mm) of the air terminal connector showing
above the top of the fl ashing. Slide the fl ashing underneath the
sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal
connector is properly centered within the fl ashing, giving a 3/4”
(19mm) margin all around. Fasten to the roof. Do not nail through
the lower portion of the fl ashing. Make weather-tight by sealing
with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the
fl ashing with roofi ng material.

Aligning the seams of the terminal and air terminal connector, place

the terminal over the air terminal connector making sure the vent
pipe goes into the hole in the terminal. Secure with a minimum
of three #8 screws, when 4/7, 5/8 and 3/5 venting is used and a
minimum of six #8 screws when using 8/10 or 8/11 venting.

Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2” (51mm) above the

fl ashing. Install the storm collar around the air terminal and slide
down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-tight seal
between the air terminal and the collar is achieved.

If more vent pipe needs to be used to reach the appliance see “HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL

INSTALLATION” section.
