HORIZONTAL VENTING INSTALLATION

For safe and proper operation of the stove, follow the venting instructions exactly.

For horizontal runs, both Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura- vent venting components may have a 0" rise per foot.

For optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.

1.Stretch the 4" diameter aluminium flexible liner to the required length taking into account the additional length needed for the finished wall surface.

Spacers are attached to the 4" inner flex liner at predeter- mined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7" outer stove pipe. These spacers must not be removed.

Slip a 4" diameter length of aluminium flexible liner a mini- mum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal. Secure to the sleeve using 3 screws. Seal the joint and screw heads using the high temperature sealant provided.

2.Slip the first section of 7" diameter stove pipe a mini- mum of 2" over the outer sleeve of the air terminal. Secure to the sleeve using 3 screws. Seal the joint and screw heads using high temperature sealant.

3.Insert the liners through the firestop / vent pipe shield. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readable position), secure to the exterior wall. Make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied). The air terminal mount- ing plate may be recessed (up to 3/4" maximum) into the exterior wall or siding.

4.If more than one length of liner needs to be used to reach the stove, couple them together as illustrated in FIGURE 17. Seal the joints using the same procedure as described above.

The vent system must be supported approximately every 10 feet along a horizontal run. Use supports or equivalent non-combustible strapping to maintain the 1" clearance from combustibles.

1. Fasten the roof

ing the screws pro- vided. The roof support is optional. In this case the venting is to be ad- equately supported using either an alter- nate method suitable to the authority having jurisdiction or the op- tional roof support.

2.Slip a 4" diameter length of aluminium flexible liner a minimum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal.

Secure to the sleeve using 3 screws and flat washers. Seal the joint and screw heads using high temperature sealant. Repeat using a 7" diameter length of rigid piping.

If the attic space is tight, we rec- ommend adding sufficient lengths of 7" rigid piping, secured and sealed as necessary.

3.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. The air terminal must be located vertically and plumb.

4.Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi- nal and slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly c e n t e r e d

within the

flashing, giv- ing a 3/4"

margin all around. Fas-

ten to the roof. Do NOT nail

through the lower portion of the flash-

ing. Make weather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flashing with roofing material.

5.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 weather-tight 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.

6.Attach the vertical rain cap.

7.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. Figure 15.
