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 Wolf Steel venting components, use only the following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175
For optimum performance, it is recom- mended that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.
•For optimum flame appearance and stove performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a mini mum.
•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 with a 57 inch vertical rise im- mediately above the stove is 20 feet . FIGURES

•These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the stove.
•The maximum number of 4" flexible connections is 3 horizontally or three vertically (excluding the stove and the air terminal connections).
•When terminating vertically, the minimum
vertical rise is 3 feet above the stove and the maximum vertical rise is 40 feet. FIGURE 4.

Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid
piping to the stove for ease of installation.
