EN

RISK OF FIRE, MAINTAIN SPECIFIED AIR SPACE CLEARANCES TO VENT PIPE AND APPLIANCE.

IF VENTING IS INCLUDED WITH SPACERS THE VENT SYSTEM MUST BE SUPPORTED EVERY 3FT

(0.9m) FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. USE SUPPORTS OR EQUIVALENT

COMBUSTIBLES. USE WOLF STEEL LTD. SUPPORT RING ASSEMBLY W010-0370 OR EQUIVALENT

NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. SPACERS ARE ATTACHED TO THE INNER PIPE AT

PREDETERMINED INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN AIR GAP TO THE OUTER PIPE. THIS GAP IS
REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION. A SPACER IS REQUIRED AT THE START, MIDDLE AND END OF

EACH ELBOW TO ENSURE THIS GAP IS MAINTAINED. THESE SPACERS MUST NOT BE REMOVED.

THIS APPLIANCE USES A 4” (102mm) EXHAUST / 7” (178mm) AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE SYSTEM.

For safe and proper operation of the appliance follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the
minimum vertical vent length can create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Under extreme
vent confi gurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the fl ame to stabilize after ignition. Although not a
requirement, it is recommended for vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl
spaces) be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation. Provide
a means for visually checking the vent connection to the appliance after the appliance is installed. Use a
fi restop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when penetrating interior walls, fl oor or ceiling.

NOTE: If for any reason the vent air intake system is disassembled; reinstall per the instructions
provided for the initial installation.

For optimum fl ame appearance and appliance operation, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum. It is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” (6.4mm) rise per foot /meter. 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. Rigid and fl exible venting systems must not be combined. Different
venting manufacturers components must not be combined.

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable horizontal
run is 20 feet (6m). The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet (12m). The maximum number of vent
connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the appliance and the air terminal connections) when
using fl exible venting.

Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the fi nal length of rigid piping to the stove for ease of installation.

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 (NOTE: A vent adaptor will be required

directly off the 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.

This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall.

Having determined the correct height for the air terminal

location, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall as

illustrated to accommodate the fi restop assembly.

Dry fi t the fi restop assembly before proceeding to

ensure the brackets on the rear surface fi t to the

. Assemble the shield to the spacer as shown,

using the 3 shorter screws supplied.

B. Place the fi restop top so that the vent shield covers the top

of the vent within the opening. Ensure that both spacer and
shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles.

This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for
various roof pitches are available from your authorized dealer / distributor. 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 sealant 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, from fi lling up the 1” (25mm) air
space around the pipe.
