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 5”/8” SUPPLIER WEBSITE

Duravent W175-0170 Wolf Steel www.duravent.com

Amerivent 5DSC-N2 American Metal www.americanmetalproducts.com

Direct Temp 5DT-AA Selkirk www.selkirkcorp.com

SuperSeal 5DDA 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 rigid / fl exible components with the following
termination kits: wall terminal kit GD422-1, GD422R-1, or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD410, 8/12 to 12/12 roof
terminal kit GD411, fl at roof terminal kit GD412 or periscope kit GD401 (for wall penetration below grade). With fl exible
venting, in conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot (1.5m) vent kit GD420 or the 10 foot (3.1m)
vent kit GD430.

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.

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable horizontal
run is 20 feet (6.1m). The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet (12.2m). 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.

Horizontal runs may have a 0” (0mm) rise per foot/meter however for optimum performance it is recommended
that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” (6.4mm) rise per foot/meter using fl exible venting. For safe and proper
operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.

A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two single family
dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼”
(31.8mm) air gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is required for safe operation.

EN

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.

A. 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
manual baggie).

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" (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.
