Venting; Vent Lengths - Napoleon Park Avenue GD82NT Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

6
Expansion / contraction nosies during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected. Change in
flame appearance from "HI" to "Lo" is more evident in natural gas than in propane.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/6" ceramic glass avail-
able from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. Clean the glass after the first 10
hours of operation with a recommended gas fireplace glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required. DO NOT CLEAN GLASS
WHEN HOT! If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or blemishes may result.
vENTING LENGTHS & AIR TERMINAL
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create
difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to
the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, ga-
rages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation
wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp
or American Metal Amerivent venting components.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.
Follow the installation procedure provided with the venting
components.
For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust flue,
only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a red high
temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant maybe 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 fireplace flue collar which must
be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.
A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased from
the corresponding supplier:

When using Napoleon venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel Ltd. rigid / flexible vent components with the
following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT gd222r, or
/ TO 7/ PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT gd110, 8/ TO
/ ROOF TERMINAL KIT gd111, FLAT ROOF TERMINAL
KIT gd112 or PERISCOPE KIT gd201 (for wall penetration
below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction with the
various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit gd220 or
the 0 foot vent kit gd330. These vent kits allow for either
horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace.
The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet
using flexible venting. The maximum number of allowable 4"
vent connections is three horizontally or vertically (exclud-
ing the fireplace and the air terminal connections).
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace performance,
keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.

vENTING

The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times. Ex-
amine the air terminal at least once a year to verify that it is
unobstructed and undamaged.
Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all
cases using SimPSON dUrA-veNT or napoleon rigid
or flexible venting components when venting as il-
lustrated in Figures 2a, 2b, and 2c.
When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a
minimum of 16 inches or a maximum of 20 feet. if a 20
foot horizontal run is required, the fireplace must have
a minimum vertical rise immediately off the fireplace of
57 inches. figures 2a-c. When terminating vertically,
the vertical rise is a minimum 34 inches and a maximum
40 feet above the fireplace. FigUre 3.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connec-
tion to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal
or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼"
air gap between the inner and outer liner all around is
required for safe operation.
vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics,
garages, crawl space) should be wrapped with a protec-
tive insulation sleeve to minimize condensation.
Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or
ceiling.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly.
deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can cre-
ate difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
