USING FLEXIBLE VENT COMPONENTS

Use only approved aluminum flexible liner kits marked:

“Wolf Steel Approved Venting” as identified by the stamp only on the 7” outer liner.

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

All inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joists may be sealed using either Red RTV high temp silicone seal- ant or Black high temp Mill Pac with the exception of the fireplace exhaust flue collar which must be sealed using Mill Pac (not supplied).

Spacers are attached to the inner flex liner at predetermined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4” air gap to the outer flex liner. These

spacers must not be removed.

HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

1.Cut or frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum round or square opening of 111/2” W x 111/2” H. Secure the firestop spacer over the opening to the interior wall.

Secure the terminal to the terminal extension plate if required (see figure 18). The cover plate of the GD-222R terminal is 13”x13” and will cover the 11 1/2” x 11 1/2” opening but if the opening is made any larger - the terminal extension plate is required.

2.Stretch the 4” diameter aluminum flexible liner to the required length taking into account the additional length needed for the finished wall surface. Slip the liner a minimum of 2” over the inner sleeve of the air terminal and secure with 3 #8 screws. Apply a heavy bead of the high temperature sealant.

3.Using the 7” diameter flexible aluminum liner, slide over the outer combustion air sleeve of the air terminal and secure with 3 #8 screws. Seal as before.

4.Insert the liners through the firestop maintaining the required clearance to combustibles. Secure to the exterior

wall and make weather tight by	CAULKING

VERTICAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

1. Fasten the roof support to the	a
roof using the screws provided.
The roof support is optional. In
this case the venting is to be ad-
equately supported using either an
alternate method suitable to the
authority having jurisdiction or the
optional roof support. (Fig.a)	ROOF SUPPORT
2. Stretch the inner aluminum	FIGURE 19a,b&c
flex liner to the required length.

Slip the liner a minimum of 2” over the inner sleeve of the
air terminal connector and secure
with 3 #8 screws. Seal using a	INNER

Attach the air terminal connector to the roof support, ensuring that the top of the air terminal is 16” above the highest point that it penetrates the roof. (Fig.c) If the attic space is tight, we recommend threading the Wolf Steel vent pipe collar or equivalent loosely onto the air terminal assembly as it is passed

through the attic.

flashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flashing with roofing material. (Fig.c)

6.Aligning the seams of the terminal and air terminal connector, place the terminal over the air terminal connector making sure the liner goes into the hole in the terminal. Secure with the three screws provided. (Fig.c)

7.Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2 inches above the flashing. Note: Maintain a minimum 2” space between the air inlet base and the storm collar. Install the storm collar around the air terminal connector and slide down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-tight seal between the air terminal connector and the collar is achieved.
