VENTING
VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
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.
All outer pipe joints of these venting systems must be sealed
using Red RTV High Temperature Sealant.
The connection between the adaptor for these systems and
the stove fl ue collar must be sealed using the black high
temperature sealant Mill Pac (not supplied).
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 the outer intake
vent pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except
for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the stove 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).
Also approved for use with Duravent's co-axial to co-linear
adaptor for installations using an existing chimney.
The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet,
the minimum allowable vertical vent length is 3 feet.
For optimum fl ame appearance and stove 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.
Horizontal runs may have a 0" rise per foot in all cases
using Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp,
American Metal Amerivent rigid venting components or Wolf
Steel fl exible venting components.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that horizontal
runs have a minimum 1" rise per foot when using Simpson
Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent
or Wolf Steel rigid / fl exible vent components.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, and
American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.

For safe and proper operation of the stove follow the venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum or the maximum vertical vent length can create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Under extreme vent confi gurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the fl ame to stabilize after ignition.
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.
Use a fi restop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when penetrating interior walls, fl oor or ceiling.
FOR SPECIFIC VENTING PARAMETERS, REFER TO PAGES 9-13.
