Minimum clearance to combustible construction from fireplace and vent surfaces:
GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 24,000BTU/h for propane. When the fireplace is installed at
elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absense of specific recommendations from the local authority having jurisdiction,
the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft. Maximum output for
natural gas is 23,700 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 79% with the fan on, 78% with the fan off; and 19,200 BTU/hr for propane
at an efficiency of 80% with the fan on, 79% with the fan off. Maximum A.F.U.E. (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating
is 71%. Minimum A.F.U.E. rating is 64%.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane.
Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water column for natural gas and 13 inches water column for propane. Manifold
pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation. The natural gas model can only be installed in a mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site and
fueled with natural gas.
This fireplace may be installed in an aftermarket permanently located, manufactured (mobile)
home, where not prohibited by local codes.
This fireplace is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This fireplace is not
convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.
NO EXTERNAL ELECTRICITY (110 VOLTS OR 24 VOLTS) IS REQUIRED FOR THE GAS SYSTEM OPERATION.
Expansion / contraction nosies during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected. Change in
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in natural gas than in propane.
CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16" ceramic glass
available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. If the door glass should
crack or break, do not operate the fireplace. Replace only with a door assembly certified with the fireplace. See PAGE 11
for removal and replacement details. Clean the glass after the first 10 hours of operation with a recommended gas
fireplace glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required. DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! If the glass is not kept clean
permanent discolouration and / or blemishes may result.
VENTING
VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
All horizontal runs must have a minimum 1/4 inch rise per foot in all cases.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fireplace after the
fireplace is installed.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows.
Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼" air gap between the inner and outer liner all around is
required for safe operation.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl space)
should be wrapped with a protective insulation sleeve to minimize condensation.
Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
Roof terminal kits are available for various vertical roof vent installations. Order the specific
kit required from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel dealer. For horizontal installation, use the
terminal (GD222) or the periscope (GD201) for below grade wall penetration. In conjunc-
tion with the various terminations, use the 5 foot vent kit (GD220) or the 10 foot vent kit
(GD330). NOTE: Both Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent require the 4 inch and the 7 inch diameter vent joints
to be sealed. Use the high temperature sealant provided.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.
The maximum number of vent connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the fireplace and the air
terminal connections). 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.
When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a minimum of 11 inches or a maximum of 20 feet. If a 20 foot
horizontal run is required, the fireplace must have a minimum vertical rise immediately off the fireplace of 57
inches. FIGURES 3a-c. When terminating vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum 34 inches and a maximum 40 feet
above the fireplace. FIGURE 2. This fireplace must be installed against a finished wall. Do not
install against a vapour barrier or exposed insulation.
