VENTING

THE BGD36CF(G) USES: 4" EXHAUST / 7" AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE

THE BGD42CF USES: 5" EXHAUST / 8" AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE

MODEL BGD36CF MAY BE VENTED EITHER AS A TOP VENT OR A REAR VENT.

REFER TO THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR INSTALLATION.

For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed. Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.

VENTING LENGTHS

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting components. Minimum and maxi- mum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal locations for either system are set out in this manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure provided with the venting components.

A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent systems and may be purchased from the corresponding supplier:

PART	4"/7"	5"/8"	SUPPLIER
Duravent	W175-0053	W175-0170	Wolf Steel
Amerivent	4DSC-N2	5DSC-N	American Metal
Direct Temp	4DT-AAN	5DT-AA	Selkirk

For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure found on the website for your venting supplier.

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 may be 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

flue collar which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel rigid / fl exible components with the following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222, or 1/12 to 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMI- NAL KIT GD110, 8/12 to 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall penetration below grade). With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 FOOT VENT KIT GD220 or the 10 FOOT VENT KIT GD330.

BGD42CF

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel fl exible 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.

Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or Ameri- can Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be combined. Wolf Steel rigid and flexible venting systems must not be combined.

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 vent connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the fi replace and the air terminal connections) when us- ing fl exible venting.

For optimum flame appearance and fireplace performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a 1" rise per foot.

BGD36CF(G)

HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: - A minimum clearance of 1" at the bottom and sides of the vent and 2" at the top on all horizontal runs to combustibles is required. The fi restop spacer (W010-1774) supplied with the unit must be used to maintain this clearance.

VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: - A minimum of 1" all around the vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required except for clearances in fi replace enclosures. See "MINIMUM ENCLOSURE CLEARANCES" section. Use fi restop spacer W500-0096 (not supplied).

BGD42CF

HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 2" all around the vent pipe on all horizontal runs to combustibles is required. Use fi restop spacer W010-1778 (supplied).

VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum of 1" all around the vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required. Use fi restop spacer W500-0028 (not supplied).
