Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct
Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting components.
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 Hight Temperature Sealant.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.
A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased
from the corresponding supplier:

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
maybe 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 fireplace flue
collar which must be sealed using the black high tempera-
ture sealant Mill Pac.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the fol-
lowing 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 TERMI-
NAL KIT
GD412
or PERISCOPE KIT
GD401
(for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD420
or the 10 foot vent kit
GD430
.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting
of the fireplace.
FIGURES 3 & 5.
The maximum allowable
horizontal run is 20 feet. The maximum allowable vertical
vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of 5" vent
connections is two horizontally or three vertically (exclud-
ing the fireplace and the air terminal connections) when
using aluminum flexible venting.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace 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.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner
before re-installing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-
15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
Eight (8") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for
the 8" diameter flexible liner.
For optimum performance it is recommended that all hori-
zontal runs have a 1 inch rise per foot when using Napoleon
flexible vent components.
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or
paved driveway which is located between two single family
dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regu-
lations 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 1¼" air gap
all around between the inner liner and outer liner is required
for safe operation. Use a firestop when penetrating interior
walls, floor or ceiling.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all cases
using SIMPSON DURA-VENT or NAPOLEON RIGID OR
FLEXIBLE venting components when venting as illustrated
in Figures 3, and 4.

For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can
create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection
to the fireplace after the fireplace 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.
