VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal locations for either system are set out in this manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure provided with the venting components.

All outer pipe joints of these venting systems must be sealed using Red RTV High Temperature Sealant.

The connection between the adaptor for these systems and the stove flue collar must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac (not supplied).

A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent systems and may be purchased from the corresponding supplier:

PART	4"/7"	SUPPLIER
Duravent	GDS924N	Wolf Steel
Amerivent	4DSCB-N1	American Metal
Direct Temp	4DT-AAN	Selkirk

For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure found on the website for your venting supplier:

VENTING SUPPLIER	WEBSITE ADDRESS
Simpson Dura-Vent	www.duravent.com
Selkirk Direct Temp	www.selkirkcorp.com
American Metal Amerivent	www.americanmetalproducts.com

For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust flue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant

may be used on both the inner exhaust and the outer intake vent pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the stove flue collar which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the following termination kits:Wall Terminal Kit GD222, or 1/12 to 7/12 Pitch Roof Terminal Kit GD110, 8/12 to 12/12 Roof Terminal Kit GD111, Flat Roof Terminal Kit GD112 or Periscope Kit GD201 (for wall penetration below grade).

Also approved for use with Duravent's co-axial to co-linear adaptor for installations using an existing chimney.

The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet, the minimum allowable vertical vent length is 3 feet. For optimum flame appearance and stove 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.

Horizontal runs may have a 0" rise per foot in all cases using Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent rigid venting components or Wolf Steel flexible venting components.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that horizontal runs have a minimum 1" rise per foot when using Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent or Wolf Steel rigid / flexible vent components.

Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, and American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be combined.

VENT INSTALLATIONS

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

Deviation from the minimum or the maximum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.

Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.

Use a firestop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.

FOR SPECIFIC VENTING PARAMETERS, REFER TO PAGES 9-13.
