VENTING
VENTING LENGTHS & AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct
Temp or American Metal Amerivent 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,
and American Metal Amerivent, follow the installation
procedure provided with the venting components.
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
maybe 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 fireplace flue
collar which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac. High temperature sealant must
be ordered separately.
When using Napoleon venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel Ltd. rigid / flexible vent components with
the following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222,
or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12
TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TER-
MINAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD220 or the 10 foot vent kit GD330. These vent kits allow
for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace. FIG-URES 2, 3, & 5.
The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet.
The maximum number of allowable 4" vent connections is
three horizontally or vertically (excluding the fireplace and
the air terminal connections) when using aluminum flexible venting.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace 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.
When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a minimum of 12 inches
or a maximum of 20 feet. If a 20 foot
horizontal run is required, the fireplace must have a
minimum vertical rise immediately off the fireplace of
57 inches.

For optimum performance it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot
using flexible venting.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the
venting instructions exactly.
HORIZONTAL TERMINATION: A clearance to combustibles of 2" must be maintained during the first 24" of
venting when penetrating combustible walls. The
firestop spacer (GD-500.106 ) supplied with the unit
should be used to maintain this clearance. The first two
feet of outer 7" diameter vent pipe, from the appliance
must be wrapped in the 1 inch thick insulation sleeve
(supplied) as well as having a 1 inch air gap. Thereafter
a 1" clearance to combustibles may be maintained using firestop spacer (GD-500.96 for use with flexible venting or GD-500.136 for use with rigid venting).
VERTICAL TERMINATION: Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all around the vent pipe is required.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION:
This application occurs when
venting through an exterior wall.
FIGURES 2a-d. Having determined the air terminal location,
cut and frame a hole in an exterior
wall with a minimum square or
round opening of 11½"*. (As an
alternative to framing, a vent pipe
shield may be installed, ensuring
a 1" clearance to combustibles.

Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined depth
of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the case of
a finished wall) and secure the shield through the opening
to the interior wall. The final location of the vent pipe shield
should maintain the required clearance to the 7" vent
pipe / liner. Do not fill this cavity with any type of material.
Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a firestop
spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold air from being
drawn into the room or around the fireplace. Ensure that
both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to
combustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its
final position, apply sealant between the pipe / liner and
the firestop spacer.

ings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum
clearance between the fireplace pipe / liner and any combustible material. Try to center the exhaust pipe location
midway between two joist to prevent having to cut them.
Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings.
DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.
A vent pipe shield will
prevent any materials
such as insulation,
from filling up the 1"
air space around the
pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.
2. 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 finished ceiling), and secure over the opening in the ceiling. A firestop 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 firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict
cold air from being drawn into the room or around the fireplace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the
required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent
pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant
between the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.
3. In the attic, after the pipe / liner
has been installed, 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
filling up the 1" air space around
the pipe.
The 11½ inch framing dimension may be reduced to a
*
9½ inch opening if the vent length, from the fireplace to
the framed hole, is 24 inches or greater. If not, it is recommended to use a terminal extension plate, W500-0103,
when mounting the air terminal.

USING FLEXIBLE VENT COMPONENTS
Use only approved aluminum flexible liner kits marked
" Wolf Steel Approved Venting" as identified by the
stamp only on the 7" outer liner.
For optimum performance it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot
using flexible venting.
HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminum flexible liner to the
required length taking into account the additional length
needed for the finished wall surface. Apply a heavy bead of
the high temperature sealant Mill Pac, to the inside of the
4" liner approximately 1" from the end. Slip the liner a minimum of 2" over the fireplace vent collar and secure with 3
#8 screws.
2. Using the 7" diameter flexible aluminum liner, apply sealant, slide a minimum of 2" over the fireplace combustion
air collar and secure with 3 #8 screws.
3. Insert the liners through the firestop. Position and secure the fireplace using the nailing tabs (2 per side) and/or
secure to the floor using screws inserted through the two
¼" diameter holes in the front left and right corners of the
base. The liners should be flush with the exterior wall.
The air terminal may be recessed into the exterior wall
or siding by 1½", the depth of the return flange.
FIGURE 18
FIGURE 19
4. From outside, apply a bead of the high temperature sealant to the inside of both liners, approximately 1" from the
end of each liner.
5. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readable
position), insert into both liners with a twisting motion to
ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the liners / sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and
make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).
6. If more liner needs to be used to reach the fireplace,
couple them together as illustrated in FIGURE 13. The vent
system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for
both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Napoleon support
ring assembly W010-0370 or equivalent noncombustible
strapping to maintain the minimum 1" clearance to combustibles.
W415-0434 / C / 03.24.05
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the
venting instructions exactly.
All inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joists may
be sealed using either Red RTV high temp silicone sealant or Black high temp Mill Pac with the exception of the
fireplace exhaust flue collar which must be sealed using Mill Pac (not supplied).
VERTICAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Fasten the roof support to the
roof using the screws provided. The roof support is
optional. In this case the
venting is to be adequately supported using either an alternate
method suitable to the
authority having jurisdiction or the optional roof
support.
2. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminum flexible liner to the required
length. Slip the liner a minimum
of 2" over the inner sleeve of the
air terminal and secure with 3 #8
screws. Seal using a heavy bead
of the high temperature sealant.
3. Repeat using 7" diameter aluminum flexible liner.
4. Thread the air terminal pipe assembly down through the roof.
The air terminal must be located vertically and plumb. Attach the air terminal assembly to the roof support, ensuring that a minimum 16" of air terminal will penetrate the
roof when fastened.
DO NOT CLAMP THE
FLEXIBLE ALUMINUM
LINER.
5. Remove nails from
the shingles, above
and to the sides of the
chimney. Place the
flashing over the air terminal and slide it underneath the sides and
upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is
properly centered within the flashing, giving a 3/4" margin
all around. Fasten to the roof. Do not nail through the lower
portion of the flashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with
caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top edges
of the flashing with roofing material.
6. Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2 inches
above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air
terminal and down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a
weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar
is achieved. Attach the other storm collar centered between
the air intake and the air exhaust slots onto the air terminal. Tighten securely. Attach the vertical rain cap.
FIGURE 22
FIGURE 20
FIGURE 21
Page 13

Spacers are attached to the 4" inner flex liner at predetermined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7"
outer liner. These spacers must not be removed.
7. If more liner needs to be used to reach the fireplace,
couple them together as illustrated in FIGURE 13. The vent
system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for
both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel support ring
assembly W010-0370 or equivalent noncombustible strapping to maintain a clearance to combustibles of 1".
USING RIGID VENT COMPONENTS
For optimum performance it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a ¼ inch rise per foot.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow
the venting instructions exactly.
The vent system must be supported approximately every 3
feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Napoleon
vent spacers W615-0033 every 3 feet and on either side of
each elbow to maintain the minimum 1¼" clearance between the outer and inner vent pipes. Use Napoleon support ring assembly W010-0370 or equivalent noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum 1" clearance to
combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs.
All inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joists may
be sealed using either Red RTV high temp silicone sealant or Black high temp Mill Pac with the exception of the
fireplace exhaust flue collar which must be sealed using Mill Pac (not supplied).
HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Move the fireplace into position. Measure the vent length
required between terminal and fireplace taking into account
the additional length needed for the finished wall surface
and any 1¼" overlaps between venting components.
2. Apply high temperature sealant Mill Pac to the outer edge
of the 4" inner collar of the fireplace. Attach the first vent
component and secure using 3 self tapping screws. Repeat using 7" piping.
3. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readable
position), insert into both vent pipes with a twisting motion
to ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the
vent pipes and the sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and make weather tight by sealing with caulking
(not supplied). The air terminal may be recessed into the
exterior wall or siding by 1½", the depth of the return
flange.

2. Fasten the roof support to the
roof using the screws provided.
FIGURE 16. The roof support is
optional. In this case the venting
is to be adequately supported
using either an alternate method
suitable to the authority having jurisdiction or the optional roof support.
3. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the inner
sleeve of the air terminal. Slip a
4" diameter coupler a minimum
of 2" over the sleeve and secure using 3 screws.
4. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the of
the outside sleeve of the air terminal. Slip a 7" diameter
coupler over the sleeve and secure as before. FIGURE 19.
Trim the 7" coupler even with the 4" coupler end.
5. Thread the air terminal pipe assembly down through the
roof support and attach, ensuring that a minimum 16" of
air terminal will penetrate the roof when fastened.
FIGURE 18. If the attic space is tight, we recommend
threading the Wolf Steel vent pipe collar or equivalent
loosely onto the air terminal assembly as it is passed
through the attic. The air terminal must be located verti-
cally and plumb.
6. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides
of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air terminal and
slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of the
shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly centered
within the flashing, giving a 3/4" margin all around. Fasten
to the roof. Do NOT nail through the lower portion of the
flashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where
possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flashing
with roofing material.
7. Apply a heavy bead of waterproof caulking 2 inches above
the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air terminal
and down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weathertight seal between the air terminal and the collar is achieved.
Attach the other storm collar centered between the air intake and air exhaust slots onto the air terminal. Tighten
securely. Attach the rain cap.
FIGURE 25
W415-0434 / C / 03.24.05

8. Continue adding rigid venting sections, sealing and
securing as above. Attach a 4" collapsed telescopic pipe to
the last section of rigid piping. Secure with screws and
seal. Repeat using a 7" telescopic pipe.
9. Run a bead of high temperature sealant around the
outside of the 4" elbow. Pull the adjustable pipe a minimum 2" onto the elbow. Secure with 3 screws. Repeat with
the 7" telescopic pipe.
10. 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 filling up the 1" air
space around the pipe.
RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS
Vertical terminations may display a very active flame. If this
appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be restricted
using restrictor supplied. This reduces the velocity of the
exhaust gases, slowing down the flame pattern and creating a more traditional appearance.
1. Remove all obstructing obstacles i.e.: brick panels, logs, etc.
2. Remove the baffle plate from the
rear wall of the firebox, exposing
the two screws from the flue pipe
assembly.
3. Line up the "A" holes on the restrictor plate with the pipe
assembly holes and replace the screws.
4. Replace brick panels, logs, etc.
GAS INSTALLATION
Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
1. Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L copper
tubing or equivalent to the fireplace.
2. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch
or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a convenient
location. Route 2 strand (solid core) millivolt wire through
the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of the unit.
The recommended maximum lead length depends on wire
size:WIRE SIZEMAX. LENGTH
Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the
gas valve.
Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or gas valve to electricity (110 volts).
3. Install rigid black pipe, 1/2" type-L copper tubing or, if
local codes permit, a 3/8" flex connector and shutoff valve
to the gas line and the fireplace gas valve. Seal and tighten
securely. An adaptor fitting is required between the gas
valve and the copper tubing or flex connector. DO NOT KINK
THE FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR.
4. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes
located in the front left and right corners of the base. For
mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened
in place. Use #10 screws, inserted through the holes in
the base to secure. It is recommended that the fireplace
be secured in all installations.
FRAMING
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed
insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the
fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the
fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/
sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall
of a home. This will ensure theat clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension, but the
fireplace should be raised up to be flush with either the
hearth or the finished floor.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to accommodate for the thickness of the finished floor materials, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for
will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and
the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face.
PROTRUDING FINISH
Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may
protrude over the black painted surface of the fireplace
front and is required for use in conjunction with the GD425
kit. This kit is designed to accommodate a noncombustible material to a maximum finished thickness of 3/4".
* *
* When using the optional ornamental facia and panels,
* *
the minimum height from the top of the unit to the mantle
is 7".
** A steel stud header is recommended, however traditional combustible header material may be used.
BLACK PAINTED FIREPLACE
SURFACE
Tiles must not protrude past the inner
edge of the fireplace
frame to avoid interference with the
GD425 installation.

BLOWER INSTALLATION
BLOWER SYSTEM
The Napoleon STARfire comes equipped with a blower, a
heat sensor, variable on/off speed control and a power cord.
The blower is thermally activated, so when it is turned on, it
will automatically start approximately 15 minutes after lighting the fireplace and will run for approximately 30 minutes
after the fireplace has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the output of heat. Air, drawn in through the lower
louvre access door, is driven up the back of the firebox, and
exhausted as hot air between the upper louvres.
FIGURE 51

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight
odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of
internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process and will not occur again. Simply open a window to
sufficiently ventilate the room.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:
A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be
lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the fireplace area for
gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle on the floor.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never
use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to
repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.
21
After extended periods of non-operation such as following
a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may
emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust
particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window
to sufficiently ventilate the room.
PURGE ALL GAS LINES WITH THE GLASS DOOR OF
THE FIREPLACE OPEN. ASSURE THAT A CONTINU-
OUS GAS FLOW IS AT THE BURNER BEFORE
CLOSING THE DOOR.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.
• Open windows.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch;
do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-
partment.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This fireplace and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation
air must not be obstructed.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs to expose both assemblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean
by vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean
out any of the ports which may not be burning or are
not burning properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to
engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches
toward the burner with the third jet.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely
on all openings when the gas knob for the burner is
turned on. A 5 to 10 second total light-up period is
satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Napoleon dealer / distributor.
7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of the door is not broken or missing. Replace if
necessary.
ADJUSTMENTS
PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENTVENTURI ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn
in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.
FIGURE 57
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but
can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a
more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner
ports. The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow
15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be established.

To access the air shutter, remove the two screws that secure the cover to the air housing, taking care not to damage the gasket.
The air shutter on this GD70 STARfire has been set for the longest horizontal vent length possible - 20 ft.
Failure to adjust the air shutter on shorter vent runs will result in a much smaller than intended
flame appearance. The air shutter opening may be adjusted to as little as 1/4" (for propane models)
depending on length and configuration. Please refer to the installation manual for adjustment procedure.
