INSTALLATION

WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot using

rigid venting.

For safe and proper operation of the stove, follow the venting instructions exactly.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

This application occurs when vent- ing through an exterior wall. Having determined the air termi- nal location, cut and frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum

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 order the spe- cific kit required.

square or round opening of 9". (As an alternative to framing, a vent pipe shield may be installed, en- suring a 1" clearance to

combustibles.) FIGURE 10

1. Mark and cut the vent pipe

shield to the determined depth of the

combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulk-

ing (not supplied) 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 re-

quired clearance to the 7" vent pipe. 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 stove.

Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required

clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed

1.Determine the air ter- minal location and move the stove into po- sition. Cut and frame 9 inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1 inch clearance between the stove pipe and any combustible material.

DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.

A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insu- lation, 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 frame- work or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equiva- lent (in the case of a finished 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 firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the stove. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe and the firestop spacer.

3.In the attic, after the pipe

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 insu- lation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe.
