in Canada or ANSI Z223.1and NFP A 54 in the United S tates.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove
opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before closing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
All horizontal runs must have a ¼ inch rise per foot.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
The stove 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 (3.5 kPa). The stove 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 (3.5 kPa).
A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection,
must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the stove.
The stove, when installed with a blower, 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 70-1990 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the
United States. The blower power cord must be connected
into a properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong
must not be removed from the cord plug.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS STOVE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water
column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for
propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water
column for natural gas and 13 inches water column for
propane. Manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5

LOCATION & CLEARANCES
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the stove.
Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
GDS50 AND GS50
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept
within the required distances, the most desirable
and benefical location for a Napoleon stove is in
the centre of a building, thereby allowing the most
efficient use of the heat created. The location of
windows, doors and the traffic flow in the room
where the stove 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 floor or roof joist.

DIRECT VENT SPECIFICS - MODEL GDS50
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, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American Metal Amerivent, follow the inst allation 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.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.
A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased
from the corresponding supplier:

When using Napoleon venting components, use only the
following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175 (7-1/2' of
venting included), or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL
KIT GD110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111,
FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD1 12 or STOVE PERISCOPE
KIT GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunc-
tion with the appropriate venting components.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the
stove. FIGURES 4, 5, & 6. The maxi-
mum number of 4" flexible connections is two horizontally or three
vertically (excluding the stove and
the air terminal connections).
When terminating vertically, the
minimum vertical rise is 34 inches
above the stove and the maximum
vertical rise is 40 feet. FIGURE 3.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or
carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid piping
to the stove for ease of installation.
We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through
unheated spaces be wrapped in a protective sleeve to
minimize condensation and reverse flow symptoms. See
Trouble Shooting for details.
FIGURE 3
For optimum flame appearance and stove performance, keep the vent
length and number of elbows to a minimum. On
extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to
stabilize after lighting. 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.
The maximum horizontal run is 34 inches with a 90o elbow
located 29" above the stove. FIGURE 4.
The maximum horizontal run with a 57 inch vertical rise
immediately above the stove is 20 feet FIGURE 5.

A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located betweeen
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 1-1/4" air gap all around between the inner
liner and outer stove pipe is required for safe operation. Use a firestop when penetrating interior
walls, floor or ceiling.
All horizontal runs must have a minimum ¼ inch
rise per foot.

SPECIAL INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
When a horizontal run is introduced, even though the terminal may be vertical, the installation must be considered
HORIZONT AL.
A through the roof installation requires a total 5 foot rise.
FIGURE 8. The location of the fireplace dictates a horizontal
run of 5 feet. What is the required vertical rise to the centre
of the initial 90° elbow?
The total run is: 5 ft. (through the roof vertical rise)
10 ft. (90° elbow)
5 ft. (horizontal run)
20 ft. (total run)
Using the chart, will determine
that a 57 inch minimum vertical
rise immediately off the unit is
required for satisfactory venting
conditions.
ALTHOUGH THE IMMEDIATE
VERTICAL RUN MAY BE
GREATER THAN 57 INCHES, THE
MAXIMUM COMBINATION OF
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL
RUNS, BEYOND THE 57 INCHES,
