Venting; Venting Lengths; Special Installation Example - Napoleon GD15-N Instructions Manual

VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMI-
NAL LOCATIONS
Use only Napoleon or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS
venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths,
for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air termi-
nal locations for these installations, are set out in this
manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent,
follow the installation procedure provided with the venting
components. All vent pipe connections must be sealed
when using any of these vent systems.
When using Napoleon venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel Ltd. rigid / flexible vent components with
the following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222,
or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12
TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TER-
MINAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD220 or the 10 foot vent kit GD330. These vent kits allow
for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace. FIG-
URES 2, 3, & 5.

The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace 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.
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 illustrated
in Figures 2a, 2b and 2c.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.
When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a mini-
mum of 12 inches or a maximum of 24 inches. I f a greater
horizontal run is required, the fireplace must have a mini-
mum vertical rise of 24 inches. With this configuration, the
horizontal run can be between a minimum of 13 inches and
a maximum of 96 inches. FIGURE 2
vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum 36 inches to a maxi-
mum 40 feet from the centre of the fireplace flue outlet.
