VENTING LENGTHS

Use only Napoleon or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air termi- nal locations for either system are set out in this manual and must be adhered to.

When using Napoleon venting components, use only the following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD-222R,or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD-110,8/12 TO 12/

12ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD-111,FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD-112or PERISCOPE KIT GD-201(for wall penetra- tion below grade) in conjunction with the various termina- tions, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD-220or the 10 foot vent kit GD-330For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow the installa- tion procedure provided with the venting components.

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace. The maximum number of 4" flexible con- nections is four (excluding the fireplace and the air termi- nal connections).

For optimum flame appearance and fireplace 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.

•All horizontal runs must have a 1 inch rise per foot in all cases using Napoleon flexible venting components.

•Horizontal runs can have a 0 inch rise per foot using Simpson Dura-Vent or Napoleon rigid ventingcomponents. For optimum performance, it is recommended that all hori- zontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot using rigid venting.

•Provide a means for visually checking the vent connec- tion to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.

•Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼" air gap between the inner and outer liner all around is re- quired for safe operation.

•Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.

•For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the venting instruction exactly.

•Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can cre- ate difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.

•Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl space) should be insulated with the insu- lation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize conden- sation.

•Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the door.

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

•Eight (8") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for the 7" diameter flexible air liner.

When terminating vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum 36 inches and a maximum 40 feet above the fireplace.
