Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cool-
ing down cycles are normal and are to be expected. Change
in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in
natural gas than in propane.

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent,

Selkirk Direct

Temp or American Metal Amerivent

venting components.

Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal
and vertical installations, and air terminal locations for ei-
ther system are set out in this manual and must be ad-
hered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent,

Selkirk Direct Temp

and American Metal Amerivent

, follow the installation

procedure provided with the venting components.
For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust
flue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a
red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant
maybe 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 fireplace flue
collar which must be sealed using the black high tem-
perature sealant Mill Pac. High temperature sealant must
be ordered separately.
When using Napoleon venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel Ltd. rigid / flexible vent components with
the following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222,
or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12
TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TER-
MINAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD220 or the 10 foot vent kit GD330. These vent kits allow
for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace. FIG-
URES 2, 3, & 5.
The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet.
The maximum number of allowable 4" vent connections is
three horizontally or vertically (excluding the fireplace and
the air terminal connections) when using aluminum flex-
ible venting.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace performance,
keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.
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.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS

When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a mini-
mum of 12 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

the vertical rise is a minimum 34 inches and a maximum
