INSTALLATION

WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

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 (W500-0292) 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 (W615-0044 for use with flexible venting or rigid venting.)

This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for various roof pitches are available from your Napoleon® dealer. See Accessories to order the specifi c kit required.

This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall within 24” of the fi replace collars. Having determined the air terminal location, cut and frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum rectangle opening of 11 1/2” x 11 1/2”.

IMPORTANT: For optimum performance, The stove pipe should rise ¼” per foot of run.

1.Assemble the shield to the spacer as shown, using the 3 shorter screws supplied.

1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 11½ inch openings 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 materi- als such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra sup- port.

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 fi nished 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 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 / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe / liner

and the fi restop spacer.

The shield is meant to protect combustible materials within the wall. If the shield is deeper than the combustible portion of the wall, cut to fi t.

2.Apply a bead of caulking all around and place the firestop spacer over the framework to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the stove. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Secure the spacer in place using the 4 longer screws sup- plied. Once the vent pipe is installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant between the pipe and the fi restop 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.
