Use Napoleon ventspacers WS-615-33 or equivalent every 3 feet and either side of each elbow to maintain the minimum 1¼" clearancebetween the outer and inner vent pipes. Use Napoleon support ring assembly GA-GD-010.370 or equivalent noncom-bustible strapping to maintain the minimum 1" clearance to combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs.HORIZONTHORIZONTHORIZONTHORIZONTHORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLAALLAALLAALLAALLATIONTIONTIONTIONTION1. Move the fireplace into position. Measure the vent length re-quired between terminal and fireplace taking into account theadditional length needed for the finished wall surface and any1¼" overlaps between venting components.2. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the 4"inner collar of the fireplace. Attach the first vent component andsecure using 3 self tapping screws. Repeat using 7" piping.3. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readableposition), insert into both vent pipes with a twisting motion toensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the vent pipesand the sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and makeweather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied). The airterminal mounting plate may be recessed to a maximum of 3/4"into the exterior wall or siding.VERVERVERVERVERTICAL VENTING INSTTICAL VENTING INSTTICAL VENTING INSTTICAL VENTING INSTTICAL VENTING INSTALLAALLAALLAALLAALLATIONTIONTIONTIONTION1. Move the fireplace into position.2. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws provided.The roof support is optional.In this case the flue system is to be adequately supported using either the optional roofsupport or an alternate method suitable to the authority having jurisdiction.3. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the inner sleeve of the air terminal. Slipa 4" diameter coupler a minimum of 2" over the sleeve and secure using 3 screws.4. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the of the outside sleeve of the airterminal. Slip a 7" diameter coupler over the sleeve and secure as before. FIGURE 19. Trim the7" coupler even with the 4" coupler end.5. Thread the air terminal pipe assembly down through the roof support and attach, ensuringthat a minimum 16" of air terminal will penetrate the roof when fastened. FIGURE 16. If the attic space is tight, werecommend threading the Wolf Steel vent pipe collar or equivalent loosely onto the air terminal assembly as it ispassed through the attic. FIGURE 11. The air terminal must be located vertically and plumb.6. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air terminal andslide it underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly centered within theflashing, giving a 3/4" margin all around. Fasten to the roof. Do NOT nail through the lower portion of the flashing. Makeweather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flashing with roofingmaterial.7. Apply a heavy bead of waterproof caulking 2 inches above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air terminaland down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar is achieved.Attach the other storm collar centered between the air intake and air exhaust slots onto the air terminal. Tightensecurely. Attach the rain cap.8. Continue adding rigid venting sections, sealing and securing as above. Attach a 4" collapsed telescopic pipe to thelast section of rigid piping. Secure with screws and seal. Repeat using a 7" telescopic pipe.9. Run a bead of high temperature sealant around the outside of the 4" elbow. Pull the adjustable pipe a minimum 2"onto the elbow. Secure with 3 screws. Repeat with the 7" telescopic pipe.10. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up the open end of the shield and tighten. This will prevent anymaterials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe.FIGURE 18FIGURE 19
