INSTALLATION

WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

For optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum of 1/4” rise per foot using flexible venting.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION

For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow

the venting instructions exactly.

HORIZONTAL TERMINATION: A clearance to com- bustibles of 2” must be maintained when penetrating combustible walls. The firestop spacer (W615-0075) supplied with the unit should be used to maintain this clearance.

This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for various roof pitches are available from your NA- POLEON® dealer. See Accessories to order the specifi c kit required.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall. Having determined the air terminal loca- tion, cut and frame a hole in an exterior wall. The recommended framed opening is 141/2” W x 141/2” H with a minimum 141/2” round or square opening inside

a fi nished wall.

See figure15.

1.Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined depth of the combustible wall. Apply

a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the case of a fi nished wall) and secure the shield through the opening to the interior wall. The fi nal location of the vent pipe shield should maintain the required clearance to the 10” vent pipe / liner. (See note above). Do not fi ll this cavity with any type of material. Apply a bead of caulking around the firestop spacer then along the edge of 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 between the pipe / liner and the fi restop spacer.

1.Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame

141/2” W x 141/2” H openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 2 inch clearance between the fi replace pipe / liner and any combustible material. Try to centre the exhaust pipe location midway between two joist to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the centre of the openings. DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.

A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insulation, 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 supplied) to the framework or to the Wolf Steel vent 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 re- stop 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 combus- tibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe / liner and the fi restop 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 materials, such as insulation, from fi lling up the 1” air space around the pipe.
