WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

FIGURE 16

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

This application occurs when venting through an exterior
wall. Having determined the air terminal location, cut and
frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum rectangle
opening of 10" x 9".
IMPORTANT: FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, THE STOVE PIPE
SHOULD RISE ¼" PER FOOT OF RUN.
1. Assemble the shield to the spacer as shown, using
the 3 shorter screws supplied.
The shield is meant to protect combustible materials
within the wall. If the shield is deeper than the combustible
portion of the wall, cut to fit.
2. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place the
firestop spacer over the framework to restrict cold air from
being drawn into the room or around the stove. Ensure that
both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to
combustibles. Secure the spacer in place using the 4 longer
screws supplied. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final
position, apply sealant between the pipe and the firestop
spacer.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION

This application occurs
when venting through a
roof.
Installation kits for vari-
ous roof pitches are
available from your Na-
poleon dealer. See Ac-
cessories to order the
specific kit required.
1. Determine the air terminal location and move the stove
into position. Cut and frame 9" x 10" openings in the ceiling
and the roof to provide the minimum 1 inch clearance be-
tween the stove pipe and any combustible material. Try to
center the exhaust pipe location midway between two joist
to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up
the center of the openings.
DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.

2. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the frame-
work or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equiva-
lent (in the case of a finished ceiling), and secure over the
opening in the ceiling. A firestop must be placed on the
bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the
venting system passes through. Apply a bead of caulking
all around and place a firestop spacer over the vent shield
to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around
the stove. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the
required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is
installed in its final position, apply sealant between the
pipe and the firestop spacer.
3. In the attic, after the pipe has been installed, slide the
vent pipe collar down to cover
up the open end of the shield
and tighten. This will prevent any
materials, such as insulation,
from filling up the 1" air space
around the pipe.

headers between the
joist for extra support.
