Venting requirements
WARNING
- Risk of fire. Maintain specifi ed air space clearances to vent pipe and appliance.
- The vent system must be supported every 3’(0.9m) for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use support ring assembly W010-0067 or equivalent non-combustible strapping to maintain the minimum clearance to combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs. Spacers are attached to the inner pipe at predetermined intervals to maintain an even air gap to the outer pipe. This gap is required for safe operation. A spacer is required at the start, middle, and end of each elbow to ensure this gap is maintained. These spaces must not be removed.
This appliance uses a 5” (127mm) exhaust / 8” (203.2mm) air intake vent pipe
system. Refer to the section applicable to your installation.
For safe and proper operation of the appliance follow the venting instructions
exactly. Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty
in burner start-up and/or carboning. Under extreme vent configurations, allow
several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition. Although not
a requirement, it is recommended for vent lengths that pass through unheated
spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) be insulated with the insulation
wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation. Provide a means for
visually checking the vent connection to the appliance after the appliance is
installed. Use a firestop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when
penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
The vent terminal may be painted with a high temperature paint to match
exterior colours. Use an outdoor paint suitable for 400°F (200°C). Application
and performance of paint is the consumer’s responsibility. Spot testing is
recommended.
Note:
If for any reason the vent air intake system is disassembled; reinstall per
the instructions provided for the initial installation.
This appliance must be installed with a continuous connection of exhaust and
air intake vent pipes. Utilizing alternate constructions, such as a chimney as
part of the vent system, is not permitted.
Use only Wolf Steel, Metal-Fab, BDM, Simpson Dura-Vent, or Selkirk Direct Temp
venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and
vertical installations, clearances from vent pipes to combustibles and air
terminal locations as set out in this manual apply to all vent systems and
must be adhered to. For Metal-Fab, BDM, Simpson Dura-Vent, or Selkirk Direct
Temp, follow the installation procedure provided with the venting components
or on the website
for your venting supplier.
A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent systems and may be
purchased through Wolf Steel or from the corresponding supplier listed below:

Connections made by means of an adaptor at the appliance, as well as the
connection at the vent terminal must be sealed.
RTV 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 appliance flue collar which must be sealed using the black
high temperature sealant Mill Pac.
For all vent systems is strongly recommend for all installations but required
when power venting the appliance, that the outer air intake joints are sealed
using either high temperature silicone (RTV) or a suitable aluminum tape that
covers each joint in the vent system entirely around its circumference. This
will ensure the best performance in every application and avoids performance
or condensation concerns that may occur in “tightly” constructed homes,
particularly those in cold climates.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel rigid /
flexible components with the following termination kits: wall terminal kit
GD422-1,
GD422R-2, ST58U-1 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 flexible venting, in conjunction with
the various terminations, use either the 5 foot (1.5m) vent kit GD420 or the
10 foot (3.1m) vent kit GD430.
All vent measurements start at the base of the air collar of the appliance.
For optimum flame appearance and appliance 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.
Rigid and flexible venting systems must not be combined. Different venting
manufacturer components must not be combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the
appliance. The maximum allowable horizontal run is 20 feet (6.1m). The maximum
allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet (12.2m). The maximum number of vent
connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the appliance
and the air terminal connections) when using flexible venting.
An insulated sleeve has been supplied and must be installed on all rear vent
applications for the first 24” (61cm).
Horizontal runs may have a 0” (0mm) rise per foot/meter however for optimum
performance it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4”
(21mm) rise per foot/meter using fl exible venting. For safe and proper
operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.
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 regulations 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” (31.8mm) air gap all around between the
inner liner and outer liner is required for safe operation.
This appliance is certified for use with a power vent kit (top vent only).
Contact your local authorized dealer for more information.
2.1 typical venting installation

Rough framing
note:
When using optional finishing accessories, the framing dimensions and finishing
materials may differ from what is outlined in the section below; refer to the
leaflet instructions supplied in the accessory kit for specific framing and
finishing specifi cations.
WARNING
- Risk of fire!
- In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the appliance body, it is recommended that the walls of the appliance enclosure be “fi nished” (i.e. drywall / sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
- Do not notch the framing around the appliance stand offs. Failure to maintain air space clearance may cause over heating and fire. Prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation or framing and other combustible materials. Block opening into the chase to prevent entry of blown-in insulation. Make sure insulation and other materials are secured.
- When constructing the enclosure, allow for finishing material thickness to maintain clearances. Framing or finishing material closer than the minimums listed must be constructed entirely of non-combustible materials. Materials consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof are suitable. Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E136, standard test method for behaviour of materials in a vertical tube furnace at 1382ºF (750ºC) and UL763 shall be considered non-combustible materials.
- Minimum clearance to combusibles must be maintained or a serious fire hazard could result.
- The appliance requires a minimum enclosure height. Measure from the appliance base.
- If steel stud framing kits with cement board are provided, or specified in the installation instructions, they must be installed.
- If specified in the installation instruction, finishing must be done using a non-combustible board, ceramic tile, marble, etc. Do NOT use wood or drywall. Any fire rated drywall is not acceptable.

Venting installation
WARNING
- Ensure to unpack all loose materials from inside the firebox prior to connecting the gas and electrical supply
- If your appliance is supplied with a remote, ensure the remote receiver is in the “OFF” position prior to connecting the gas and electrical supply to the appliance.
- For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.
- The appliance exhaust flue collar must be sealed using Mill Pac. All exhaust and intake vent pipe joints must be sealed using red RTV high temp silicone sealant (W573-0002) (not supplied) or black high temp Mill Pac (W573-0007) (not supplied).
- If using pipe clamps to connect rigid vent components, a minimum of 3 screws must also be used to ensure the connection cannot slip off.
- Do not clamp the fl exible vent pipe.
- Risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation. Improper support of the entire venting system may allow vent to sag and separate. Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per installation instructions.
- Risk of fire, do not allow loose materials or insulation to touch the vent pipe. Remove insulation to allow for the installation of the attic shield and to maintain clearances to combustibles.
- Do not fill the space between the vent pipe and enclosure with any type of material. Do not pack insulation or combustibles between ceiling firestops. Always maintain specifi ed clearances around venting and fi restop systems. Install wall shields and fi restops as specifi ed. Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from vent pipe may cause fire.
- For gas stoves only: If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth, unless otherwise tested.
4.1 horizontal installation
WARNING
- The firestop assembly must be installed with the vent shield to the top.
- Terminals must not be recessed into a wall or siding more than the depth of the return flange of the mounting plate.
- The vent shield must be fixed in place by fastening the extended vent shield to the bend tabs using the supplied fasteners.
This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall. Having
determined the correct height for the air terminal location, cut and frame a
hole in the exterior wall, as illustrated, to accommodate the firestop
assembly. Dry fit the firestop assembly before proceeding to ensure the brackets
on the rear surface fit to the inside surface of the horizontal framing.
The vent shield must be installed to the full depth of the combustible wall.
The length of the vent shield may cut shorter for combustible walls that less
than 8 1/2” (216mm) thick.
note:
Bend the tabs for reduced side clearances or move the shield for reduced top
clearances (dependent on specifi c appliance clearances). Do not fill the air
space between the firestop spacer and the exterior wall with any type of
insulating material (i.e. spray foam).
A. Fold the vent shield up so that it is perpendicular to the spacer plate.
B. Bend the tabs located on either side of the vent shield so that they are
just shy of 90º to the spacer plate.
C. On both sides of the firestop, fasten the (W570-0018) screws through the
clearance holes in the bend tabs and threaded into the holes in the vent
shield.
D. Apply a bead of caulking around the outer edge of the fi restop assembly.
E. Screw the firestop onto the wall/framing, using 4 screws.
F. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply red RTV
silicone (W573-0002) (not supplied) between the pipe and the firestop.
note:
Where the venting passes horizontally through a wall, you MUST use a Wolf
Steel firestop for all rigid and flexvent systems. The gap between the outside
diameter of the vent and the firestop MUST be completely sealed with high
temperature RTV. When using flexventing, use fi restop assembly W010-4479 (not
supplied). When using rigid venting, use firestop assembly 5DHFSN (not
supplied).
4.2 vertical installation
This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for
various roof pitches are available from your authorized dealer / distributor.
See the “accessories” section to order specifi c kits required.
A. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a square opening, as
illustrated, in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1″ (25mm)
clearance between the vent pipe and any combustible material. Try to center
the vent pipe location midway between two joists to prevent having to cut
them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings. A vent pipe
shield will prevent any materials such as insulation, from filling up the 1″
(25mm) air space around the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra
support.
B. 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 finished ceiling),
and secure over the opening in the ceiling. A firestop 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 firestop spacer
over the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or
around the fireplace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required
clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final
position, apply red RTV silicone (W573-0002) (not supplied) between the pipe
and the firestop assembly.
C. In the attic, 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″ (25mm) air space around the pipe.
note:
Where the venting passes vertically through a ceiling you use MUST use a Wolf
Steel firestop for all rigid and fl ex vent systems. The gap between the outside
diameter of the vent and the firestop MUST be completely sealed with high
temperature RTV.
For 4”/7” appliances:
When using flex venting, use firestop assembly W500-0292 (not supplied).
When using rigid venting, use firestop assembly 4DFS (not supplied).
For 5”/8” appliances:
When using flex venting, use firestop assembly W500-0028 (not supplied).
When using rigid venting, use firestop assembly 5DFS (not supplied).
4.3 using either flexible vent components
WARNING
- Do not allow the inner flex pipe to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight.
- Spacers are attached to the inner flex pipe at predetermined intervals to maintain an even air gap to the outer flex pipe. This gap is required for safe operation. A spacer is required at the start, middle, and end of each elbow to ensure this gap is maintained. These spacers must not be removed.
For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting
instructions exactly.
The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet (0.9m) for both
vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel Ltd. support ring assembly or
equivalent noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum clearance to
combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs. All inner flex pipe and
outer flex pipe joints may be sealed using high temperature red RTV silicone
W573-0002 (not supplied) or the high temperature sealant W5730007 Mill Pac
(not supplied). However, the high temperature sealant W573-0007 Mill Pac (not
supplied) must be used on the joint connecting the inner flex pipe and the
exhaust fluecollar.
Use only approved flexible vent pipe kits marked:
“Wolf Steel Approved Venting” or “E2” as identified by the stamp only on the
flex pipes.
When installing using rigid vent components, follow the manufacturer’s
installation and vent sealing requirements.

5/8 and 3/5 venting is used and a minimum of six screws when using 8/10 or
8/11 venting.
D. Thread the air terminal connector / vent pipe assembly down through the
roof. The air terminal must be positioned vertically and plumb. Attach the air
terminal connector to the roof support, ensuring that the top of the air
terminal is 16” (40.6cm) above the highest point that it penetrates the roof.
E. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the air terminal
connector. Place the flashing over the air terminal connector leaving a min.
3/4” (19mm) of the air terminal connector showing above the top of the
flashing. Slide the flashing underneath the sides and upper edge of the
shingles. Ensure that the air terminal connector is
properly centered within the flashing, giving a 3/4” (19mm) margin all around.
Fasten to the roof. Do not nail through the lower portion of the flashing. Make
weather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and
top edges of the flashing with roofi ng material.
F. Aligning the seams of the terminal and air terminal connector, place the
terminal over the air terminal connector making sure the vent pipe goes into
the hole in the terminal. Secure with a minimum of three screws, when 4/7, 5/8
and 3/5 venting is used and a minimum of six screws when using 8/10 or 8/11

4.3.4 restricting vertical vents
WARNING
- Turn off gas and electrical supply before servicing the appliance.
- Appliance may be hot, do not service until appliance is cool.
- For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instruction exactly.
- To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the packaging bag away from babies and children. Do not use in cribs, beds, carriages or play pens. This bag is not a toy. Knot before throwing away.
Vertical installations will display an active flame. This appearance is not
desirable and the exhaust outlet should be restricted with a Wolf Steel
approved restrictor/reducer. This kit is not recommended for short vertical
vent runs.
It will be necessary to install the exhaust outlet reducer when venting
vertically (refer to “top exit” section).
To optimize performance, all top vent installations that use a vertical air
terminal will require a restrictor plate to be installed in conjunction with
the exhaust outlet reducer plate (Fig.1).
The restrictor plate can be bent up for varying degrees of
restriction (Fig.2).
Top vent / Vertical terminal Our recommendation would be to leave the
restrictor plate fl at for all vertical installations from 8’ to 40’. Elbows
and offsets will slow ventilation, so adjustments may be necessary.
- Most restriction
- Moderate restriction
- Least restriction
Top vent / Horizontal terminal
In most cases, the exhaust outlet reducer plate will be adequate for top vent
installations that terminate horizontally. However, if necessary, the
restrictor plate could be used to optimize performance.

8.1 pilot-on-demand
This appliance is equipped with an “On Demand” intermittent pilot ignition
system (IPI) which also includes a continuous pilot ignition (CPI) mode with
an integrated seven day timer. This system minimizes your appliance’s carbon
footprint as well as reducing its annual fuel consumption and operating costs.
In IPI mode, the pilot will ignite prior to the main burner, when the
appliance is turned on using a switch, remote or from a call for heat with the
thermostat (if equipped). Once the appliance is turned off (or the call for
heat is satisfi ed), the main burner and pilot flame will shut down.
The continuous (CPI) mode is intended to enhance the performance of the
appliance during the startup phase in colder climates and extreme weather by
keeping the system warm when the main burner is not in use. However, the timer
feature provides the convenience that the appliance automatically switches off
the pilot when the appliance has not been used for seven days to save
unnecessary fuel consumption.
When the CPI function is turned on, the pilot will remain on after the main
burner is turned off. A timer will then begin the countdown for approximately
seven days before shutting off the pilot if the appliance is not used. This
countdown will reset anytime the appliance main burner is used. Therefore, if
the appliance is regularly used day to day, the pilot will remain on. However,
this system does not require the user to remember to turn the pilot off as
summer approaches and avoids unnecessary fuel consumption while still readily
turned back on when the cold weather returns.
**Your appliance may be equipped with an ACS or remote control device (Fig.
- which enables you to select IPI or CPI modes.**
If your appliance is equipped with an ACS switch, it has the option to change
modes:
Fig. 2: Flipping the switch ON turns on the continuous pilot with timer
and flipping the switch OFF turns on the intermittent pilot ignition.
Fig. 3: If installed with the blue wire facing up, flipping the switch UP
turns on the continuous pilot with timer and flipping the switch DOWN turns on
the intermittent pilot ignition. If installed with the white wire facing up,
the opposite is true.
If your appliance is equipped with a remote control device capable of
selecting IPI / CPI modes, refer to remote operating instructions.
In order to start your pilot, turning the main burner on with the switch,
remote or thermostat and then turning it off will reactivate the continuous
pilot mode and reset the seven day timer.

10.3 fi nishing with non-combustibles
WARNING
- Non-combustible fi nish material must not project more than 4” (101.6mm) from the face of the screen/barrier. If greater projections are desired, increase the clearance to the sides, bottom and top by 2” (50.8mm) for every additional 1” (25.4mm) of projection. If using an optional surround, the same rules applies, starting from the top of the surround. Ensure clearances are maintained for surround removal, as it must lift off of appliance for maintenance.
10.4 installing non-combustible board
WARNING
- The surface above the appliance gets very hot. If proper fi nishing materials are not used, cracking can occur.
- Align the non-combustible panel against the appliance and secure in place with the drywall screws.
Joint Compound where required
Joint compounds such as Durabond 90 and tapes that are resilient to heat and
cracking should be used when taping and mudding seams.
Setting tiles and grouting
We recommend you use tiles with a dry butt joint to be installed using a two-
part mortar with an acrylic latex additive, such as Mapei Kerabond/Kerlastic,
to allow for slight movement in the normal operation of the appliance. If
grout is used between the tiles, a polymer-based grout, such as Mapei
Ultracolour plus, is recommended.
Primer/Paint
For a painted surface, use a 100% acrylic latex primer and finish coat. Light
coloured paints may discolour.
note:
Non-combustible panel shipped loose in carton (5 screws supplied).
10.5 minimum combustible mantel clearances
Combustible Mantel clearance can vary according to the mantel depth. Use the
graph to help evaluate the clearance needed.
MANTEL DIMENSIONS
Ref| Height| Depth
A| 31 5/8″ (80.3cm)| N/A
B| 8″ (20.3cm)| 2″ (51mm)
C| 10″ (25.4cm)| 4″ (102mm)
D| 12″ (30.5cm)| 6″ (152mm)
E| 14″ (35.6cm)| 8″ (203mm)
ONLY if the Universal Heat Management System is installed, mantel clearances can be reduced.
MANTEL DIMENSIONS (WITH UHM)
Ref| Height| **Depth***
B| 3″ (76mm)| 2″ (51mm)
C| 5″ (127mm)| 4″ (102mm)
D| 7″ (178mm)| 6″ (153mm)
E| 9″ (229mm)| 8″ (203mm)
WARNING
- Risk of fi re! Reduced mantel clearances are ONLY acceptable for applications with UHM installed.
*Mantel depth must be appropriately sized if placing any valuable items above the fireplace / mantel (see “clearances around appliance (TV and valuable objects)”).
10.6 clearances around appliance (TV and valuable objects)
- TV applications were tested with the minimum enclosure dimensions and the maximum recess permissible.
This data is provided in good faith and is not a guarantee for every application and television. Care and consideration should be taken when planning these installations to ensure the temperatures around the TV meet all manufacturer’s recommended operating temperatures. Increasing the height of the mantel and/or TV above the fireplace opening, the protrusion of mantel and the volume of the enclosure all have the effect of reducing the temperature above the fi replace. It is always recommended to use the optional heat management kit when considering mounting a television above the fireplace.
note:
- Electronic appliance temperatures must be validated at the time of installation as air flow characteristics within the room can vary and maximum acceptable operating temperatures can vary from appliance to appliance. Electronic appliances cannot be used where the electronic appliance temperature exceeds the manufacturer’s maximum allowable operating temperatures (see electronic appliance manufacturer’s specifi cations). Operating a television above the manufacturer’s maximum allowable operating temperature will result in premature failure.
- Mantel height and depth must conform to mantel clearance requirements specifi ed in this manual, see “minimum clearance to combustible mantel” section in installation manual.
- Electronic appliance temperatures may be further reduced by increasing the horizontal distance between the front of the electronic appliance and the front edge of the mantel or by increasing dimension “A” or “B”. However, increasing the gap between the top of the mantel and the bottom of the electronic appliance beyond the maximum recommended figure, typically results in higher temperatures. Minimum clearance between the mantel and bottom of the electronic appliance should be maintained to allow air circulation below and behind the electronic appliance.
10.7 air flow cover installation
Install one air flow cover at each end of the burner stiffener rail (2 total)
using 4 screws (supplied).
note:
The air flow covers must be installed.
10.8 log placement
WARNING
- Failure to position the logs in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only logs specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
- Logs must be placed in their exact location in the appliance. Do not modify the proper log positions, since appliance may not function properly and delayed ignition may occur.
- The logs are fragile and should be handled with care.
PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers, exclusive to Napoleon, provide a unique
and realistic glowing effect that is dif-ferent in every installation. Take
the time to carefully position the glowing embers for a maximum glowing
effect. Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the appliance, the
colours will become more uniform as colour pigments burn in during the heat-
activated curing process. Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame
pattern.
Burner Overview
note:
The logs are numbered for illustrative purposes only according to the order in
which they are to be installed.
10.9 glowing embers
Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row of ports covering
all of the burner area in front of the front centre log(#2). Care should be
taken to shred the embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the
exposed edges of the fi bre hairs will glow. The ember material will only glow
when exposed to direct fl ame; however, care should be taken to not block the
burner ports.
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern, carbon deposits and
delayed ignition. PHAZER™ logs glow when exposed to direct fl ame. Use only
certifi ed “glowing embers” and PHAZER™ logs available from your authorized
dealer / distributor.
10.10 charcoal embers
WARNING
- Do not block or close off the burner ports. Blocked ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern, carbon deposits and delayed ignition.
- When supplied, charcoal embers, charcoal lumps and vermiculite are not to be placed on the burner.
Randomly place the charcoal embers along the front and sides of the log
support in a realistic manner.
Fine dust found in the bottom of the bag should not be used.
note:
Charcoal embers are not to be placed on the burner.
10.11 glass media placement
A. Cover both lenses completely with clear glass (shaded area).
B. Spread small amounts of amber glass over the clear glass to give the ember
bed effect (shaded area).
C. Some charcoal chips could be placed over the glass to dull the light
especially when using porcelain panels.
Adjustments adjustments
11.1 venturi adjustment
This appliance has an air shutter that has been factory set open according to
the chart below:
