This application occurs
when venting through
a roof. Installation kits
for various roof pitches
are available from your
Napoleon dealer. See
Accessories to order the
specifi c kit required.

1. Determine the air
terminal location, cut
and frame 11½ inch
openings in the ceiling

and the roof to provide the minimum clearance between the
fi replace pipe / liner and any combustible material. Try to
center the exhaust pipe location midway between two joist
to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the
center of the openings.

DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.
A vent pipe shield will
prevent any materi-
als such as insulation,
from fi lling up the 1" air
space around the pipe.
Nail headers between
the joist for extra sup-
port.
2. Apply a bead of
caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the Wolf Steel
vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a fi nished
ceiling), and secure over the opening in the ceiling. A fi restop
must be placed on the bottom of each framed opening in a
roof or ceiling that the venting system passes through. Apply
a bead of caulking all around and place a fi restop spacer over
the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the
room or around the fi replace. Ensure that both spacer and
shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once
the vent pipe / liner is installed
in its fi nal position, apply sealant
between the pipe / liner and the
fi restop spacer.

3. In the attic, after the pipe /
liner has been installed, slide the
vent pipe collar down to cover up
the open end of the shield and
tighten. This will prevent any
materials, such as insulation,
from fi lling up the 1" air space
around the pipe.

This application occurs when venting through an exterior

wall. Having determined the air terminal location, cut and
frame a hole in an exterior wall. The recommended opening
is a minimum 11 1/2” x 11 1/2” round or square opening inside
a fi nished wall.

See fi gure16.

1. Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined

depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking (not
supplied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the case
of a fi nished wall) and secure the shield through the opening
to the interior wall. The fi nal location of the vent pipe shield
should maintain the required clearance to the 7” vent pipe /
liner. (See note above).
Do not fill this cavity
with any type of mate-
rial. Apply a bead of
caulking all around and
place a fi restop spacer
over the vent shield to
restrict cold air from be-
ing drawn into the room
or around the fi replace.
Ensure that both spacer
and shield maintain the
required clearance to
combustibles. Once
the vent pipe / liner is
installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant between the pipe
/ liner and the fi restop spacer.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

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

fl exible venting.

For safe and proper operation of the fi replace, follow the venting instructions exactly.

HORIZONTAL TERMINATION: A clearance to combustibles of 2" must be maintained during the fi rst 24” of vent-

ing when pentrating combustible walls. The fi restop spacer (W500-0292) supplied with the unit should be used

to maintain this clearance. The fi rst two feet of outer 7” diameter vent pipe, from the appliance must be wrapped

in the 1 inch thick insulation sleepve (supplied) as well as having a 1 inch air gap. Thereafter a 1” clearance to
combustibles may be maintained using fi restop spacer (W615-0044 for use with fl exible venting or for use with

rigid venting.)
