These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fi replace. The maximum allowable horizontal run is 20 feet. The
maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of vent connections is two horizontally or three vertically
(excluding the fi replace and the air terminal connections) when using fl exible venting.
For optimum fl ame appearance and fi replace performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.

HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: - A minimum clearance
of 1" at the bottom and sides of the vent and 2" at the top on
all horizontal runs to combustibles is required. The fi restop
spacer (W010-1774) supplied with the unit must be used to
maintain this clearance.
VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: - A minimum of 1" all around
the vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required
except for clearances in fi replace enclosures. See
"MINIMUM
ENCLOSURE CLEARANCES" section. Use fi restop spacer
W500-0096 (not supplied).

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

For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust fl ue, 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 outer intake vent pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except
for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the fi replace fl ue 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 / fl exible 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). With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the various
terminations, use either the 5 FOOT VENT KIT GD220 or the 10 FOOT VENT KIT GD330 .

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel fl exible components with the following termination kits: WALL
TERMINAL KIT
GD422 , or 1/12 to 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD410 , 8/12 to 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD411 , FLAT ROOF
TERMINAL KIT GD412 or PERISCOPE KIT GD401 (for wall penetration below grade). With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the various
terminations, use either the 5 FOOT VENT KIT GD420 or the 10 FOOT VENT KIT GD430 .
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be combined. Wolf
Steel rigid and fl exible venting systems must not be combined.
MODEL BCDV36CF MAY BE VENTED EITHER AS A TOP VENT OR A REAR VENT.
REFER TO THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR INSTALLATION.
VENTING LENGTHS
THE BCDV36CF(G) USES: 4" EXHAUST / 7" AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE
THE BCDV42CF USES: 5" EXHAUST / 8" AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE
For safe and proper operation of the fi replace follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the minimum vertical
vent length can create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Provide a means for visually checking the vent con-
nection to the fi replace after the fi replace is installed. 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.
VENTING
HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 2"
all around the vent pipe on all horizontal runs to combustibles
is required. Use fi restop spacer W010-1778 (supplied).
VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum of 1" all around the
vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required. Use
fi restop spacer W500-0028 (not supplied).
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all hori-
zontal runs have a 1" rise per foot.
