WARNING

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

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 3” (76.2mm) EXHAUST / 5” (127mm) AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE SYSTEM.

Refer to the section applicable to your installation.

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.

7.4B

3.1 COLD CLIMATE

For horizontal and vertical vent runs that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) it is
recommended they be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.
Vent lengths terminating vertically should be kept to short lengths (maximum 5ft / 1.5m) in areas with colder
climates, especially in installations where the majority of the vent length is to be installed outside the building
envelope (such as in the attic).

W415-1367 / 12.05.14

3.2 VENTING LENGTHS AND COMPONENTS

The vent connection to the appliance can be viewed by removing the baffl e from the top, inside of the fi rebox.

Use only Wolf Steel 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. Use only Wolf Steel Ltd. fl exible vent components with the Wolf Steel Ltd. GD179

termination kit. This appliance uses a 3” (76.2mm) diameter exhaust and a 5” (127mm) diameter intake

coaxial vent system.

All outer pipe joints of these venting systems must be sealed using Red RTV and/or Mill Pac high temperature

sealant (not supplied) hereafter referred to as high temperature sealant W573-0002 (Red RTV) and the high

temperature sealant W573-0007 (Mill Pac).

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.

With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the GD178 wall terminal kit, use either the 5 foot (1.5m) vent kit

GDT5 or the 10 foot (3.1m) vent kit GDT10. These kits allow for extended horizontal venting of the appliance.

When using approved Wolf Steel venting components, use only the following termination kits: WALL

TERMINAL KIT GD178, or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GDT110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF

TERMINAL KIT GDT111, FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GDT112.

9

EN

For optimum fl ame appearance and appliance 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.

Rigid and fl exible venting systems must not be combined. Different venting manufacturer

components must not be combined.

Vent terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable

horizontal run is 7 feet (2.1m). The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 19 ½ feet (5.9m). 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.

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”
(215.9mm) thick but the vent shield must extend
the full depth of the combustible wall.

4.3 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“ (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.

The frame has been designed to accommodate fi nished
material thicknesses of 1/2" - 3/4" (13mm - 19mm). If it is
necessary to pull the frame out to the max. 3/4" (19mm)
the magnetic catch will need to be adjusted. Minor adjustment
can be made by removing shims from behind the magnet. Major
adjustments can be made by moving the magnet to the outside of
the panel.

Adjustment may be required to accommodate the door stop
chain slack when the control door is closed. The control
door securing screws can be loosened to allow
adjustment. Before
re-tightening the
screws ensure the
control door is still
recessed into the

frame at a
similar offset to the
top trim piece.
