3.2 VENTING LENGTHS AND COMPONENTS
The vent connection to the appliance can be viewed by removing the baffl e from the top, inside of the fi rebox.
Use only Wolf Steel venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and
vertical installations, and air terminal locations for either system are set out in this manual and must be
adhered to. Use only Wolf Steel Ltd. fl exible vent components with the Wolf Steel Ltd. GD179
termination kit.
This appliance uses a 3” diameter exhaust and a 5” diameter intake coaxial vent system.
All outer pipe joints of these venting systems must be sealed using Red RTV and/or Mill Pac high temperature
sealant (not supplied) hereafter referred to as high temperature sealant W573-0002 (Red RTV) and the high
temperature sealant W573-0007 (Mill Pac).
For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust fl ue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed
using a red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant may be 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 appliance fl ue collar which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.
With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the GD178 wall terminal kit, use either the 5 foot vent kit GDT5 or
the 10 foot vent kit GDT10. These kits allow for extended horizontal venting of the appliance.
When using approved Wolf Steel venting components, use only the following termination kits: WALL
TERMINAL KIT GD178, or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GDT110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF
TERMINAL KIT GDT111, FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GDT112.
For optimum fl ame appearance and appliance 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.
Rigid and fl exible venting systems must not be combined. Different venting manufacturer
components must not be combined.
Vent terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable
horizontal run is 7 feet. The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 19 ½ feet. The maximum number
of vent connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the appliance and the air terminal
connections) when using fl exible venting.
