Vertical Installation - Napoleon The Bayfield GDS25N Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

3.1.2 vErTICAL INSTALLATION

For venting clearances, see "MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES" section.
This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for various
roof pitches are available from your Authorized dealer / distributor. See accessories
to order specific kits required.
● Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9" x 9" opening in the ceiling
and the roof to provide the minimum clearance between the vent pipe and any
combustible material. Try to center the vent pipe location midway between two
joists 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.
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insulation, from filling up
the 1" air space around the pipe. Nail headers between the
joist for extra support.
● Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the
Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a
finished ceiling), and secure over the opening in the ceiling.
A firestop must be place 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 fireplace. 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 assembly.
● In the attic, 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.
