HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall. Having determined the air terminal location, cut and frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum rectangle opening of 10" x 9".

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.

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 fit.

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 supplied. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe and the firestop spacer.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION

This application occurs when venting through a

roof.FIGURE 17

Installation kits for vari- ous roof pitches are available from your Na- poleon dealer. See Ac- cessories to order the specific kit required.

1.Determine the air terminal location and move the stove into position. Cut and frame 9" x 10" openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1 inch clearance be- tween the stove pipe 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 frame- work or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equiva- lent (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 stove. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe and the firestop spacer.

3.In the attic, after the pipe 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.
