INSTALLATION
WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
For optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1 inch rise per foot us- ing flexible venting.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the venting instructions exactly.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs when |
| |
venting through an exterior wall. | 10½"* | |
Having determined the air termi- | ||
| ||
nal location, cut and frame a hole |
| |
in an exterior wall with a mini- |
| |
mum square or round opening |
| |
of 10½"*. (As an alternative to |
| |
framing, a vent pipe shield may |
| |
be installed, ensuring a 1" clear- |
| |
ance to combustibles. |

FIGURE28
Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking (not sup- plied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the case of a finished wall) and secure the shield through the opening to the interior wall. The final location of the vent pipe shield should maintain the required clearance to the 8" vent pipe / liner. Do not fill this cavity with any type of material. 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 fireplace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs when venting through a roof. In- stallation kits for various roof pitches are available from your Napoleon dealer.
See Accessories to or- der the specific kit re-
FIGURE30 quired.
1. Determine the air ter- minal location, cut and frame 10½ inch open-
ings in the ceiling and
the roof to provide the minimum clearance be- tween the fireplace pipe / liner and any combus-
tible material. Try to center the exhaust pipe location mid- way 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 materi- als such as insula- tion, 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 framework or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a finished ceiling), and secure over the open- ing 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 fire- place. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to com-
bustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its
final position, apply sealant between the pipe / liner and
the firestop spacer.
3. In the attic, after the pipe / liner has been installed, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up the open end of the shield and tighten. This will prevent any materi- als, such as insulation, from
filling up the 1" air space around the pipe.
