3.0 VENTING

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 3 FEET

FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. USE SUPPORTS OR EQUIVALENT

NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE FROM

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” EXHAUST / 7” 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. 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.

!

WARNING

Refer to the section applicable to your installation.

7.1A

3.1 VENTING LENGTHS AND COMPONENTS

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent or Metal-Fab 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, Selkirk
Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the installation procedure provided with the venting
components.

A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent systems and may be purchased from the corresponding
supplier:

PART 4”/7” SUPPLIER WEBSITE

Duravent GDS924N Wolf Steel www.duravent.com

Amerivent 4DSC-N2 American Metal www.americanmetalproducts.com

Direct Temp 4DT-AAN Selkirk www.selkirkcorp.com

SuperSeal 4DNA Metal-Fab www.mtlfab.com

* For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the
installation procedure found on the website for your venting supplier.

For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust fl ue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a
red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant may be used on both the inner exhaust and outer intake vent
pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the appliance fl ue collar
which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel termination kits: wall terminal kit GD175
(7/12’ of venting included), or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD1 10, 8/12 to 12/12 roof terminal kit GD111, fl at
roof terminal kit GD112 or periscope kit GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunction with the appropriate
venting components.

W415-0827 / D / 08.10.12

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” rise per foot. 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. The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. 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.

RESULT IN A FIRE.

This appliance is designed to be attached to a 3” 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.

21

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

THE FIRESTOP ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED WITH THE VENT SHIELD TO THE TOP.

TERMINALS MUST NOT BE RECESSED INTO A WALL OR SIDING MORE THAN THE DEPTH OF THE

RETURN FLANGE OF THE MOUNTING PLATE.

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
inside surface of the horizontal framing.

The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter
for combustible walls that are less than 8 1/2” thick
but the vent shield must extend the full depth of the
combustible wall.

. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the corner edge of
the inside surface of the fi restop assembly, fi t the fi restop
assembly to the hole and secure using the 4 screws (supplied in your

4.1.2 VERTICAL INSTALLATION

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“ 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” 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” air space
around the pipe.

A. 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.

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

fl ex pipe a minimum of 2” over the inner pipe of the air terminal

connector and secure with 3 #8 screws. Seal using a heavy
bead of high temperature sealant W573-0007 (not supplied).

C. Repeat using the outer fl ex pipe, using a heavy bead of high

temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied).

D. 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” above the highest point that it
penetrates the roof.

E. 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” 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
centred within the fl ashing, giving a 3/4” 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.

F. 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 the three
screws provided.

G. Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2” 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.
