4. Thread the air terminal connector / vent pipe assembly down through the roof. The air

terminal must be located vertically and plumb. Attach the air terminal connector to the roof

support, ensuring that the top of the air terminal is 16" above the highest point that it penetrates

the roof. Figure 27. DO NOT CLAMP THE FLEXIBLE VENT PIPE.

5. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the chimney. Place the ﬂ ashing

over the air terminal connector leaving a min. 3/4" of the air terminal connector showing

above the top of the ﬂ ashing. Slide the ﬂ ashing underneath the sides and upper edge of

the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal connector is properly centred within the ﬂ ashing,

1. Install the 4" ﬂ exible vent pipe to the ﬁ replace. Secure with 3 screws and

ﬂ at washers. Seal the joint and screw holes using the high temperature sealant

W573-0007 (not supplied).

2. Install the 7" ﬂ exible vent pipe to the ﬁ replace. Attach and seal the joints

using the high temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied).

USING RIGID VENT COMPONENTS

The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel vent

spacers W615-0033 every 3 feet on either side of each elbow to maintain the minimum 1¼" clearance between the 7" rigid

vent pipe and 4" rigid vent pipes. Use Napoleon® support ring assembly W010-0370 or equivalent noncombustible strapping

to maintain the minimum clearance to combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs.

1. Move the ﬁ replace into position. Measure the vent length required

between terminal and ﬁ replace taking into account the additional length

needed for the ﬁ nished wall surface and any 1¼" overlaps between vent-

ing components.

2. Apply high temperature sealant W573-0007 (not supplied) to the outer

edge of the 4" inner collar of the ﬁ replace. Attach the ﬁ rst 4" rigid vent pipe

component and secure using 3 self tapping screws. Repeat using the 7"

rigid vent pipe component.

NOTE: Before attaching elbows to the collars on the back of the

ﬁ replace, 1 1/2" will need to be trimmed off the 4" collar.

3. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readable position), insert into

both vent pipes with a twisting motion to ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage

into the vent pipes and the sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and make weather tight by sealing with

caulking (not supplied).

The air terminal mounting plate may be recessed into the exterior wall or siding by 1½", the depth of the return

ﬂ ange.

giving a 3/4" margin all around. Fasten to the roof. Do

not nail through the lower portion of the ﬂ ashing. Make

weather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where possible,

cover the sides and top edges of the ﬂ ashing with rooﬁ ng

material. Figure 27.

6. 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

the three screws provided. Figure 27.

7. Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2" above the ﬂ ashing. Note: Maintain

a minimum 2" space between the air inlet base and the storm collar. Install the storm

collar around the air terminal and slide down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a

SEALANT

weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar is achieved. Figure 27.

8. If more vent pipe needs to be used to reach the ﬁ replace, couple them together

as illustrated. The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both

vertical and horizontal runs. Use noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum

1" clearance to combustibles. Figure 24.
