Venting requirements

note:
The minimum clearances from the top of the horizontal vent pipe to combustible materials may be reduced from 3” (76mm) to 1” (25mm) in those installations with a minimum 38” (96.5cm) vertical vent rise made immediately off the fireplace collar.

WARNING

• Risk of fi re. 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 W0100067 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 4” (102mm) exhaust / 7” (178mm) 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 confi gurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the fl ame 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  fi restop, 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, re-install 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.
This template must be used in conjunction with templates 7.1.1 or 7.1.2, depending on  termination shape (i.e. round, or round and square). See appropriate templates folder.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the following termination kits: wall terminal kit GD-222, GD-222R, ST47U or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD-110, 8/12 to 12/12 roof terminal kit GD-111, fl at roof terminal kit GD-112 or periscope kit GD-201 (for wall penetration below grade). With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot (1.5m) vent kit GD-220 or the 10 foot (3.1m) vent kit GD-330. For stoves only: wall terminal kit GD-175 (venting included).  415-3091 / C / 05.11.22 iate templates folder.
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.
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.
Horizontal runs may have a 0” rise per foot or 0mm rise per meter however for optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot or 21mm rise per 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.

3.6 horizontal termination

For vent configurations requiring more than one 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < VT
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet (12.2m)

Example:
V1 = 3 ft (0.9m)
V2 = 8 ft (2.4m)
VT = V1 + V2 = 3 ft (0.9m) + 8 ft (2.4m) = 11 ft (3.4m)
H1 = 2.5 ft (0.8m)
H2 = 2 ft (0.6m)
HR = H1 + H2 = 2.5ft (0.8m) + 2 ft (0.6m) = 4.5 ft (1.4m)
HO = .03 (two 90° elbows – 90°) = .03 (180° – 90°) = 5.4 ft (1.7m)
HT = HR + HO = 4.5 ft (1.4m) + 5.4 ft (1.6m) = 9.9 ft (3m)
HT + VT = 9.9 ft (3m) + 11 ft (3.4m) = 20.9 ft (6.4m)

Formula 1: HT < VT
9.9 ft (3m) < 11 ft (3.4m)
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 ft (12.2m)
20.9 ft (6.4m) < 40 ft (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.

For vent configurations requiring more than one 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < 4.2 VT
Formula 2: HT + VT  < 24.75 feet (7.5m)

Example:
V1  = VT = 6 FT (1.8m)
H1  = 3 FT (0.9m)
H2 = 5 FT (1.5m)
HR  = H1  + H2  = 3FT (0.9m) + 5FT (1.5m) = 8FT (2.4m) HO  = .03 (two 90° elbows – 90°) = .03 (180° – 90°) = 2.7FT (0.8m)
HT  = HR  + HO  = 8FT (2.4m) + 2.7FT (0.8m) = 10.7FT (3.3m) HT  + VT  = 10.7FT (3.3m) + 6FT (1.8m) = 16.7FT (5.1m)

Formula 1: HT < 4.2 VT 4.2 VT = 4.2FT (1.3m) x 6FT (1.8m) = 25.2FT (7.7m)
Formula 2: HT + VT  < 24.75 FT (7.5m) 16.7 FT (5.1m) < 24.75 FT (7.5m)

Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
Example:
V1  = 4 FT (1.2m)
V2  = 1.5 FT (0.5m)
VT  = V1  + V2  = 4 FT (1.2m) + 1.5 FT (0.5m) = 5.5 FT (1.7m)

(HT) < (VT)

For vent configurations requiring one or more 90° elbows the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < VT
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet (12.2m)

Example:
V1 = 5 ft (1.5m)
V2 = 6 ft (1.8m)
V3 = 10 ft (3.1m)
VT = V1 + V2 + V3 = 5 ft (1.5m) + 6 ft (1.8m) + 10 ft (3.1m) = 21 ft (6.4m)
H1 = 8 ft (2.4m)
H2 = 2.5 ft (0.8m)
HR = H1 + H2 = 8 ft (2.4m) + 2.5 ft (0.8m) = 10.5 ft (3.2m)
HO = .03 (four 90° elbows – 90°)
= .03 (360° – 90°) = 8.1 ft (2.5m)
HT = HR + HO = 10.5 ft (3.2m) + 8.1 ft (2.5m) = 18.6 ft (5.7m)
HT + VT = 18.6 ft (5.7m) + 21 ft (6.4m) = 39.6 ft (12.1m)

Formula 1:  HT < VT 18.6 ft (5.7m) < 21 ft (6.4m)
Formula 2:  HT + VT < 40 ft (12.19m) 39.6 ft (12.1m) < 40 ft (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.

(HT) > (VT)

For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < 3VT
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet (12.2m)
Example:
V1 = 2 ft (0.6m)
V2 = 1 ft (0.3m)
V3 = 1.5 ft (0.5m)
VT = V1+V2+V3= 2 ft (0.6m) + 1 ft (0.3m) + 1.5 ft (0.5m) = 4.5 ft (1.4m)
H1 = 6 ft (1.8m)
H2 = 2 ft (0.6m)
HR = H1 + H2 = 6 ft (1.8m) + 2 ft (0.6m) = 8 ft (2.4m)
HO = .03 (four 90° elbows – 90°)
= .03 (360° – 90°) = 8.1 ft (2.5m)
HT = HR + HO = 8 ft (2.4m) + 8.1 ft (2.5m) = 16.1 ft (4.9m)
HT + VT = 16.1ft (4.9m) + 4.5 ft (1.4m) = 20.6 ft (6.3m)
Formula 1:  HT < 3VT 3VT = 3 ft (0.9m) x 4.5 ft (1.4m) = 13.5 ft (4.1m) 16.1 ft (4.9m) > 13.5 ft (4.1m)
Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is unacceptable.
Formula 2:  HT + VT < 40 ft (12.2m) 20.6 ft (6.3m) < 40 ft (12.2m)
Since only formula 2 is met, this vent configuration is unacceptable and a new appliance location or vent configuration will need to be established to satisfy both formulas.

3.8 vent shield installation (BL46 only)

Rough framing

note:
When using optional fi nishing accessories, the framing dimensions and fi nishing materials may differ from what is outlined in the section below; refer to the leafl et instructions supplied in the accessory kit for specifi c framing and fi nishing specifi cations.
WARNING

• Risk of fi re!
• 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 “finished” (i.e. drywall / sheetrock), as you would fi nish 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 fi nishing 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 fi re 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 specifi ed in the installation instructions, they must be installed.
• If specifi ed in the installation instruction, finishing must be done using a non-combustible board, ceramic tile, marble, etc. Do NOT use wood or drywall. Any fi re rated drywall is not acceptable.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this appliance.

4.1 minimum framing dimensions
note:
The minimum clearances from the top of the horizontal vent pipe to combustible materials may be reduced from 3” (76mm) to 1” (25mm) in those installations with a minimum 38” (96.5cm) vertical vent rise made immediately off the appliance collar.

venting installation

WARNING

• Ensure to unpack all loose materials from inside the fi rebox 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 flexible vent pipe.
• Risk of fi re, 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 fi re, 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 firestop systems. Install wall shields and firestops 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.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum of 1/4″ (6mm) rise per foot using flexible venting. For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.

5.1 horizontal installation
WARNING

• The fi restop 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 fi restop 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 specific appliance clearances). Do not fill the air space between the stop 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 firestop assembly.
E. Screw the fi restop onto the wall/framing, using 4 screws.
F. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, appl 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 flex vent systems. The gap between the outside diameter of the vent and the firestop MUST be completely sealed with high temperature RTV. When using fl ex venting, use firestop assembly W010-3440 (not supplied).
When using rigid venting, use firestop assembly 4DHFSN (not supplied).
5.2 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 specific 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 fi nished ceiling), and secure over the  pening 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 fi nal 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 filling 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 flex 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 fi restop 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).
5.3 using either flexible or rigid 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 instructionsexactly.

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 flue collar.

5.6 vertical through existing chimney
WARNING

• Risk of fi re.
• Co-axial to co-linear venting confi gurations must only be used in a non-combustible chimney or enclosure. Installation in a combustible enclosure could result in a fire.

This appliance is designed to be attached to a 3” (76.2mm) co-linear aluminum flex vent system running the full length of a masonry chimney. The flex liners accommodate any contours of a masonry chimney, however, it is necessary to keep the flexible liners as straight as possible. The inlet air collar of the termination cap must be connected to the air intake flex liner and the exhaust collar must be connected to the exhaust fl exible liner.
Both Simpson Duravent and Selkirk co-linear to co-axial adaptors have been approved on this appliance  note: A vent adaptor will be required directly off the appliance.
Follow vent manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Different manufacturer’s venting components must not be combined.

11.8 restricting vertical vents
Vertical installations may display a very active fl ame. If this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be restricted using a restrictor vent kit. Refer to the “replacement parts” section of the owner’s manual for the appropriate kit. This will reduce the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing down the fl ame pattern and creating a more traditional gentle fl ame appearance. Specifi c instructions are included with the kit.
11.9 venturi adjustment
note:
An air shutter access plate has been provided for initial flame appearance setup. It becomes more difficult to adjust once the appliance has been finished.
This appliance has an air shutter that has been factory set open according to the chart below:
Regardless of venturi orientation, closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but can lead to carbonization. Opening the air shutter will cause a more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be established.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER!
note:
It is important that the orifice is securely inserted into the venturi. 11.10 check pressure readings

Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the test point. Gauge should read as described on the chart below. Check pressure with main burner operating on “HI”.
