EN
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 Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the installation procedure
provided with the venting components.
A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent systems and may be purchased from the corresponding supplier:
PART
Duravent
Amerivent
Direct Temp
SuperSeal
For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the installation
procedure found on the website for your venting 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 outer intake vent pipe joints of all
other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the appliance fl ue collar which must be sealed
using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac. High temperature sealant must be ordered separately.
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 fl exible venting systems must not be combined. Different venting manufacturer components must not be
combined.
FOR 4" / 7" (USE REDUCER KIT 4758AK TO TRANSITION FROM 5" / 8" TO 4" /7" VENTING)
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel rigid / fl exible components with the following
termination kits: wall terminal kit GD222, GD222R, or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD110, 8/12 to 12/12 roof terminal
kit GD111, fl at roof terminal kit GD112 or periscope kit GD201 (for wall penetration below grade). With fl exible venting, in
conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot (1.5m) vent kit GD220 or the 10 foot (3.1m) vent kit GD330.
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 fl exible venting.
FOR 5" / 8"
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel rigid / fl exible components with the following
termination kits: wall terminal kit GD422-1, GD422R-1, or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD410, 8/12 to 12/12 roof
terminal kit GD411, fl at roof terminal kit GD412 or periscope kit GD401 (for wall penetration below grade). With fl exible
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.
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
fl exible venting.
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" (6.4mm) 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.
