VENTING

VENTING LENGTHS

Use only Wolf Steel or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS,Selkirk Direct Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal loca- tions for either system are set out in this manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow the installation 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 fi replace fl ue 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 ap- proved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD422, or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD410, 8/12 TO 12/12

ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD411, FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD412 or PERISCOPE KIT GD401 (for wall penetration below grade). With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD420 or the 10 foot vent kit GD430.

When using flexible venting with a horizontal termination directly off of the fireplace, the use of a 45º adaptor is permitted to keep the vent height as low possible.

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace. The maximum allowable horizontal run is 20 feet. The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of 5" vent connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the fi replace and the air terminal connections) when using fl exible venting.

For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure provided with the venting components.

Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be combined. Wolf Steel rigid and fl exible venting systems must not be combined.

For optimum fl ame appearance and fi replace performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.

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.

Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fi replace open. Assure that a continuous gas fl ow is at the burner before closing the door.

Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5- 15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.

For optimum performance it is recommended that all hori- zontal runs have a 1" rise per foot when using fl exible vent components.

A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regula- tions 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 1¼" air gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is required for safe operation. Use a fi restop when penetrat- ing interior walls, fl oor or ceiling.

Horizontal runs may have a 0" rise per foot in all cases us- ing SIMPSON DURA-VENT or WOLF STEEL LTD. RIGID OR FLEXIBLE venting components when venting.

Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, ga- rages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.
