2.0 venting

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 3 feet (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 appliane 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 difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Under extreme vent configurations,
allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition. Provide a means for visually checking the vent
connection to the appliance after the appliance is installed. Use a firestop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield
when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.

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

2.1 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).

2.2 venting lengths and components

The vent connection to the appliance can be viewed by removing the baffle from the top, inside of the firebox.

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. flexible 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 flue, 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
flue collar which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.

With flexible 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.

For optimum flame 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 flexible 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 flexible venting.

3.0 installation

• Ensure to unpack all loose materials from inside the fi rebox prior to connecting the gas and electrical supply

• If your appliance is supplied with a remote, ensure the remote receiver is in the “OFF” position prior
to connecting the gas and electrical supply to the appliance.

• For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.

• The appliance exhaust fl ue collar must be sealed using Mill Pac. All exhaust and intake vent pipe joints
must be sealed using red RTV high temp silicone sealant (W573-0002) (not supplied) or black high temp Mill
Pac (W573-0007) (not supplied).

• If using pipe clamps to connect rigid vent components, a minimum of 3 screws must also be used to ensure
the connection cannot slip off.

• Do not clamp the fl exible vent pipe.

• Risk of fi re, explosion, or asphyxiation. Improper support of the entire venting system may allow vent to sag
and separate. Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per installation instructions.

• Risk of fi re, do not allow loose materials or insulation to touch the vent pipe. Remove insulation to allow for the
installation of the attic shield and to maintain clearances to combustibles.

• Do not fi ll the space between the vent pipe and enclosure with any type of material. Do not pack insulation
or combustibles between ceiling fi restops. Always maintain specifi ed clearances around venting and fi restop
systems. Install wall shields and fi restops as specifi ed. Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from
vent pipe may cause fi re.

3.1 horizontal installation

!

• The fi restop 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 fl ange 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.

note:

Do not fi ll the air space between the fi restop spacer and the
exterior wall with any type of insulating material (i.e. spray foam).

A. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the outer edge of

the hole of the fi restop assembly, fi t the fi restop assembly to the
hole and secure using 4 screws.

B. Once the vent pipe is installed in its fi nal position, apply red RTV silicone (W573-0002) (not supplied)

WARNING

various roof pitches are available from your authorized dealer / distributor.
See the “accessories” section 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 red RTV
silicone (W573-0002) (not supplied) between the pipe and the fi restop

4.0 framing

!

WARNING

note:

When using optional fi nishing accessories, the framing dimensions and fi nishing materials may differ from
what is outlined in the section below; refer to the leafl et instructions supplied in the accessory kit for specifi c
framing and fi nishing specifi cations.

• Risk of fi re!

• In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the appliance
body, it is recommended that the walls of the appliance enclosure be “fi nished” (i.e. drywall / sheetrock),
as you would fi nish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is
maintained within the cavity.

• Do not notch the framing around the appliance stand offs. Failure to maintain air space clearance may cause
over heating and fi re. Prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation or framing and other combustible
materials. Block opening into the chase to prevent entry of blown-in insulation. Make sure insulation and
other materials are secured.

• When constructing the enclosure, allow for fi nishing material thickness to maintain clearances. Framing or
fi nishing material closer than the minimums listed must be constructed entirely of non-combustible materials.
Materials consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination
thereof are suitable. Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E136, standard test method for behaviour
of materials in a vertical tube furnace at 1382ºF (750ºC) and UL763 shall be considered non-combustible
materials.

• Minimum clearance to combusibles must be maintained or a serious fi re hazard could result.

• The appliance requires a minimum enclosure height. Measure from the appliance base.

• If steel stud framing kits with cement board are provided, or specifi ed in the installation instructions, they
must be installed.

• If specifi ed in the installation instruction, fi nishing must be done using a non-combustible board, ceramic tile,
marble, etc. Do NOT use wood or drywall. Any fi re rated drywall is not acceptable.

framing

EN

The has been designed to be installed mid-way up a wall. If installing this appliance close to the finished
floor, the appliance must be raised a minimum of 2" (51mm) (unobstructed) to allow for full rotation of the control
door. It is not necessary to install floor protection. Although the appliance fits between studs, most jurisdictions
will not allow a “hole” in the warm air envelope of a residential structure. It is recommended to build either an
interior or exterior chase with a minimum depth of 7" (178mm).

It is best to frame your appliance after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Frame to local building
codes.

To install the appliance face flush with the finished surface, position the framework to accommodate the thickness
of the finished surface. Use 4 flat-head screws to secure the nailing tabs to the framing. Cover the nailing tabs
with your finishing material.
