LOCATION AND CLEARANCES 5

Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.

Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the stove.

Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.

GDS28 AND GS28:

As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the required distances, the most desirable and beneficial lo- cation for a Napoleon stove is in the centre of a building, thereby allowing the most efficient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the room where the stove is to be located should be consid- ered. If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or roof joist.

NO ADDITIONAL FLOOR PROTECTION IS REQUIRED MINIMUM 20" FROM STOVE TOP TO CEILING

*AT A DISTANCE OF 1" FROM THE WALL, ACCESS TO THE BLOWER SWITCH, ON-OFF SWITCH OR THE BLOWER POWER CORD MAY NOT BE PRACTICAL.

A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two sin- gle family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1-1/4" air gap all around between the inner liner and outer stove pipe is required for safe operation.

Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceil- ing.

DIRECT VENT SPECIFICS - GDS28

VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMI- NAL LOCATIONS

Use only Wolf Steel 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. For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow the installation procedure provided with the venting com- ponents. Both Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent venting components may have a 0" rise per foot on horizontal runs.

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only the following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175 (7-1/2' of venting included), 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 STOVE PERISCOPE KIT GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunc- tion with the appropriate venting components.

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

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the stove. FIGURES 3, 4, & 5.

The maximum number of 4" flexible connections is two hori-

zontally or three vertically (ex- cluding the stove and the air

terminal connections).

When terminating vertically, the

minimum vertical rise isFIGURE 3 34 inches above the stove and

the maximum vertical rise is 40 feet.

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

Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid pip- ing to the stove for ease of installation.
