general information

1.3 Dynamic Heat Control™

Dynamic Heat Control™ is a system for managing the

heat produced by the appliance at and around the fire­place. The purpose of the Dynamic Heat Control™ is
to move the heat away from the fireplace to allow it to cir­culate more effectively within the living space. By install­ing the Dynamic Heat Control™ both the installer and
the user gain considerable benefits, see the following;

PATENT PENDING

Installer:

• Ability to use combustible framing and finishing right up to the fireplace opening.*

• High temperatures above the front of the fireplace opening are significantly reduced eliminating potential de­grading to sensitive finish material (cracks or discoloration).

• No additional electricals, fans, ducts, or manifolds are required which keeps installation straightforward.

User:

• Heat is circulated more consistently throughout the living space increasing comfort in front of the fireplace.

• Increased “real world” efficiency as heat is moved in to the room rather than retained inside an enclosure.

• Complete flexibility in selection of finish materials.

• Ability to place a TV, sound bar or artwork above the fireplace.**

The Dynamic Heat Control™ system relies on an optimized flow of air both through the appliance and the en­closure. As such the installation of the Dynamic Heat Control™ system requires certain technical considerations
when compared to traditional fireplaces. Specifically, the Dynamic Heat Control™ requires the enclosure to be
ventilated and requires the installer to ensure that a minimum opening area is provided to allow heat to escape
and circulate at a prescribed minimum height and position. This must be carefully adhered to in the planning and
the installation to ensure the appliance functions safely and to minimize installation time.

*In most common installation configurations, some specific installations require special provisions.
See “Framing with Dynamic Heat Control” section for details. Ensure to strictly adhere to instructions.

** Always check appliance manufacturers recommendations to confirm suitability and any special
environmental limitations. For valuable or antique items, always refer to expert preservation instruc­tions as some items require specifically controlled temperature and/or humidity

WARNING

!

• Always light the pilot whether for the first time or if the gas supply has run out, with the glass door opened
or removed.

• Provide adequate clearance for servicing and operating the appliance.

• Provide adequate ventilation.

• Never obstruct the front opening of the appliance.

• Objects placed in front of the appliance must be kept a minimum of 48” (121.9cm) from the front face of
the appliance.

• Surfaces around and especially above the appliance can become hot. Avoid contact when appliance is
operating.

• Fire risk. Explosion hazard.

• High pressure will damage valve. Disconnect gas supply piping before pressure testing gas line at test
pressures above 1/2 PSIG. Close the manual shut-off valve before pressure testing gas line at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (35mb).

• Use only Wolf Steel approved optional accessories and replacement parts with this appliance using non­listed accessories (blowers, doors, louvres, trims, gas components, venting components, etc.) could result
in a safety hazard and will void the warranty and certification.

• The appliance must not be operated at temperatures below freezing (32ºF / 0ºC). Allow the appliance to
warm to above freezing prior to operation.

EN

• This appliance has been designed and certified for indoor use only.

THIS GAS APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local
codes. Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important to know the specifi cs that apply to your area, for
example in Massachusetts State:

• This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fi tter when installed within the commonwealth of
Massachusetts.

• The appliance damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of an appliance insert or gas
log.

• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.

• The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36 inches (0.9m).

• A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fi red appliances.

• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed
combustion product.

The installation must conform with local codes or, in absence of local
codes, the National Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1
in Canada, or the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54
in the United States. Suitable for mobile home installation if installed
in accordance with the current standard CAN/CSA Z240MH Series,
for gas equipped mobile homes, in Canada or ANSI Z223.1 and
NFPA 54 in the United States.

The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (35 mb).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (35 mb). When installed
with a blower or fan, the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI / NFPA 70 National
Electric Code in the United States. In the case where the blower is equipped with a power cord, it must be connected into a
properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.

The following does not apply to inserts; as long as the required clearance to combustibles is maintained, the most desirable
and benefi cial location for an appliance is in the center of a building, thereby allowing the most effi cient use of the heat
created. The location of windows, doors and, the traffi c fl ow in the room where the appliance is to be located should be
considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a fl oor or

WARNING

3.0 minimum venting requirements

minimum venting requirements

!

• Risk of fi re. Maintain specifi ed air space clearances to vent pipe and appliance.

• If venting is included with spacers, the vent system must be supported every 3’(0.9m) for both vertical and
horizontal runs. Use support ring assembly W010-0067 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 spaces must not be removed.

This appliance uses a 5” (127mm) exhaust / 8” (203.2mm) air intake vent pipe system. Refer to the
section applicable to your installation.

For safe and proper operation of the appliance follow the venting instructions 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. 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 firestop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.

The vent terminal may be painted with high temperature paint to match exterior colours. Use an outdoor paint
suitable for 400°F (200°C). Application and performance of paint is the consumer’s responsibility. Spot testing is
recommended. Appliance should be off.

note:

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

This appliance must be installed with a continuous connection of exhaust and air intake vent pipes. Utilizing
alternate constructions, such as a chimney as part of the vent system, is not permitted.

All vent measurements start at the base of the air collar of the appliance.

W415-1710 / A / 07.27.17

minimum venting requirements

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, clearances from
vent pipes to combustibles and air terminal locations as set out in this manual apply to all vent systems 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:

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 5DNA Metal-Fab www.mtlfab.com

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.

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel flexible components with the wall
terminal kit GD422R-2, or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD410, 8/12 to 12/12 roof terminal kit GD411,
flat roof terminal kit GD412 or periscope kit GD401 (for wall penetration below grade). With flexible 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 flame appearance and appliance performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to
a minimum.

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” (21mm) rise per foot/meter using flexible
venting. For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.

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.

Starter Adapter Part
Number

Supplier Website

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 flexible venting.

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.

4.1 installation option 1 - open enclosure (enclosure stops short of the ceiling)

NOT Suitable for Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus

It is one option not to finish or close in the top of the enclosure to provide the necessary air circulation path for the
Dynamic Heat Control™ system. Leaving a complete air outlet opening above the enclosure has been found to
be well accepted with respect to final appearance and offer minimal distraction. It also allows for efficient circulation
of air within the room. This option offers the simplest method for framing and installation. (If installing Dynamic Heat
Control™ Plus, refer to option 2 or 3 - DHC Plus cannot be used with option 1). Limit the air outlet opening
height to 4” to reduce the risk of items inadvertly falling into the enclosure. The air outlet opening must extend

around the entire perimeter, or the entire front face of the enclosure, where the enclosure runs from wall
to wall.
