VENTING

VENTING LENGTHS

For safe and proper operation of the fi replace follow the venting instruction exactly.

The GT8N/P must be terminated horizontally only.

The vent connection to the fi replace can be viewed by removing the baffl e from the top, inside of the fi rebox.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation
wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.

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

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

With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the GD178 wall terminal kit, use either the 5 foot vent kit GDT5 or the 10 foot vent
kit GDT10. These kits allow for extended horizontal venting of the fi replace.

The maximum allowable vent length is 10’ feet using fl exible venting. The maximum number of allowable 3” vent
connections is one (excluding the fi replace and the air terminal connections).

For optimum fl ame appearance and fi replace 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.

Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all cases when venting as illustrated in
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.

When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a minimum of 4” inches or a maximum of 72”. If a 72”
horizontal run is required, the fi replace must have a minimum vertical rise immediately off the fi replace of 18”.

(NG) or 10.0” W.C. (LP).

1. Pressure can be checked by removing cap (A) using
a 3/16 allen key and replacing it with a 1/8 NPT barb fi tting.

2. Place pressure gauge tube over the fi tting.

3. Pressure can be adjusted by removing cap (B) using a

fl at screwdriver, and adjusting the nylon plug with the same
screw driver.

Turning the plug in (clockwise) will increase the pressure.

FIGURE 22

Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow fl ame, but can
lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a more
blue fl ame, but can cause fl ame lifting from the burner ports.
The fl ame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30
minutes for the fi nal fl ame colour to be established.

NOTE: It is important that the venturi sits down tight on
the orifi ce. The burner is adjustable up/down to ensure
this.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TROUBLESHOOT, PURGE YOUR UNIT AND INITIALLY LIGHT THE IGNITOR AND THE MAIN BURNER WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPEN.

SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION

Electrode sparks, burner
ignites, electrode
contiunes to spark for
complete 7 seconds,
burner shuts down.

Main burner fl ame is a
blue, lazy, transparent
fl ame.

Flame length
consistently too large
or too small. Carboning
occurs.

Carbon is being
deposited on glass, logs
or combustion chamber
surfaces.

White / grey fi lm forms.

Exhaust fumes smelled in
room, headaches.

No gas to the main
burner; switch /
thermostat is on.

Burner will not light,
ignitor sparks.

will
not
spark.

Remote wall switch is in
“OFF” position; burner
comes on.

Hot and neutral wires are reversed
at control module.

Blockage in vent.

Unit is over-fi red or under-fi red. - Check pressure readings

Air shutter has become blocked. - Ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other obstructions.

Flame is impinging on the
combustion chamber.

Sulphur from fuel is being
deposited on glass, logs or
combustion chamber surfaces.

Fireplace is spilling.

Thermostat or switch is defective.

Main burner orifi ce is blocked. - Remove stoppage in orifi ce.

Control valve faulty. - Replace.

Faulty valve. - Replace.

No gas at the burner.

Out of propane gas. - Fill the tank.

No spark at ignitor.

Spark gap is incorrect.

Wall switch is mounted upside
down.

Remote wall switch is grounding. - Replace.

Remote wall switch wire is
grounding.

Faulty wire.

- Connect the hot wire to the black wire. Connect the neutral wire to
the white wire.

- Remove blockage. In extremely cold conditions, ice buildup may occur
on the terminal and should be removed as required.

- Outlet pressure can be checked by removing cap (A) and replacing
it with a 1/8” NPT barb fi tting. Next, place pressure gauge tubing
over the fi tting. Gauge should read 3.5” W.C. for natural gas or

10.0” W.C. for propane. AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS,
BE SURE TO REPLACE CAP TO RESEAL. DO NOT OVER-TORQUE.

- Leak test with a soap and water solution.

- Open air shutter to increase the primary air.

- Check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and orifi ce size as
specifi ed by the rating plate values.

- Check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing and that the
seal is tight.

- Check that both 3” and 5” vent liners are free of holes and well
sealed at all joints.

- Check that the minimum rise per foot has been adhered to for any
horizontal venting.

- Clean the glass with a gas fi replace glass cleaner. DO NOT CLEAN
GLASS WHEN HOT. If deposits are not cleaned off regularly, the
glass may become permanently marked.

- Check door seal.

- Check for chimney blockage.

- Ensure that the paint curing process is complete.

- Connect a jumper wire across the wall switch terminals; if main
burner lights, replace switch / thermostat.

- Check that the manual valve is turned on.

- Replace the valve.

- Check the power source. (ie. fuse, circuit breaker)

- Check that the wire is connected to both the ignitor and the control
module.

- Check that the spark is not jumping to ignitor cover.

- Replace the wire if the wire insulation is broken or frayed.

- Replace the electrode if the ceramic insulator is cracked or broken.

- Spark gap should be 0.125” (1/8” approx.) from the electrode tip to the
sensor tip.

- Reverse.

- Check for ground (short); repair ground or replace wire.
