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 us-
ing 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 maxi-
mum 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.

Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or Ameri-
can Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be combined. 
Wolf Steel rigid and flexible venting systems must not be 
combined.

MODEL BGD36CF MAY BE VENTED EITHER AS A TOP VENT OR A REAR VENT. 

REFER TO THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR INSTALLATION.

 

VENTING LENGTHS

THE BGD36CF(G) USES: 4" EXHAUST / 7" AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE

THE BGD42CF 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 connection 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 horizontal 
runs have a 1" rise per foot.
