VENTING LENGTHS AND COMPONENTS

EN
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent or Metal-Fab venting
components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal
locations for either system are set out in this manual 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:
VENT
MANUFACTURER
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.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel termination kits: wall terminal kit GD175
(7/12' of venting included), 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 GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunction with the appropriate
venting components.
For optimum fl ame appearance and appliance operation, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum. It is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4" (6.4mm) rise per foot /meter. 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 manufacturers components must not be combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable horizontal
run is 20 feet (6m). The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet (12m). 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.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the fi nal length of rigid piping to the stove for ease of installation.
