INSTALLATION
WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
For optimum performance, it is recommended that horizontal runs have a minimum 1" rise per foot when using Simpson
For safe and proper operation of the stove, follow
the venting instructions exactly.
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 rectangle opening of 10" high x 9" wide. Firestop spacer and shield do not limit the thickness of a wall. For wall construction when using less than 2" x 6" framing, the shield must be cut to suit.
1.Assemble the shield to the spacer as shown, using the 3 shorter screws supplied.
The shield is meant to protect combustible materials within the wall. If the shield is deeper than the combustible portion of the wall, cut to fit.
2.Apply a bead of caulking all around and place the firestop spacer over the framework 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. Secure the spacer in place using the 4 longer screws supplied. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply high temperature sealant

VERTICAL INSTALLATION
1.Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a 9" square opening in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1" clearance between the vent pipe / liner and any combustible material. Try to center the vent pipe location midway between two joists 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.

UNDERSIDE OF JOIST
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around the vent pipe. Nail headers between the joists 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 finished ceiling), and secure over the opening in the ceiling. A firestop spacer 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 / liner is installed in its final position, apply high temperature sealant

3.In the attic, after the vent 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 insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around the vent pipe.
