VERTICAL INSTALLATION: This application occurs when
venting through a roof. FIGURE 3.
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 inch 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 open-
ings.
DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insu-
lation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe.
FIGURE 15. Nail headers between the joist for extra sup-
port.
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. FIGURE 14. A firestop must be placed
on the bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling
that the venting system passes through. FIGURE 13. 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.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION:
This application occurs
when venting through an
exterior wall. FIGURES
4, 5, & 11. Having deter-
mined the air terminal lo-
cation, cut and frame a hole
in an exterior wall with a
minimum square or round
opening of 9". (As an alter-
native to framing, a vent
pipe shield may be in-
stalled, ensuring a 1" clear-
ance to combustibles.
See Figure 12.)
For optimum performance, the stove pipe should rise
¼" per foot of run.
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined
depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking (not
supplied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the
case of a finished wall) and secure the shield through the
opening to the interior wall.
The final location of the vent
pipe shield should maintain the required clearance to
the 7" vent pipe. Do not fill this cavity with any type of
material. 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.
