INSTALLATION

WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 1" at the bottom and sides and 2" at the top of the vent pipe on all horizontal runs to combustibles is required. Use fi restop spacer W010-1778 (supplied).

VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 1" all around the vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required except for clearances in fi replace enclosures.

Use fi restop spacer W500-0367 (not supplied).

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 opening as required.

ADJUSTABLE FIRESTOP

Apply a bead of caulking all around and place the firestop top, so that the vent shield covers the top of the vent within the opening. Place the firestop bottom against the firestop top and secure the two together. Adjust the assembly to ensure it is tight to the vent. Secure fi restop to wall. This restricts 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. See figures 30a-c.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION

This application occurs when venting through a roof. Instal- lation kits for various roof pitches are available from your Authorized dealer. See Accessories to order the specifi c kit

required.

1. Determine the air terminal FIGURE 31 location, cut and frame 10½" openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum clearance between the fireplace pipe / liner 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 insula- tion, from fi lling up the 1" air space around the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.

2.Apply a bead of caulking (not sup- plied) to the frame- work or to the

Wolf Steel vent FIGURE 32 pipe shield plate

or equivalent (in the case of a fi nished 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 fi restop spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the fi replace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant (not sup-

plied) between the pipe / liner and the fi restop spacer.

3.In the attic, after the pipe / liner has

been installed, slide the vent pipe col-

 

lar down to cover up the open end

 

of the shield and tighten. This will

 

prevent any materials, such as

 

insulation, from fi lling up the 1"

 

air space around the pipe.
