INSTALLATION / FRAMING
WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
This application occurs when venting through an exterior
wall. Having determined the air terminal location, cut and
frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum square
opening of 8” wide x 8” high.
1. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place the fi restop
spacer over the framework to restrict cold air from being
drawn into the room or around the fi replace. Ensure that the
spacer maintains the required clearance to combustibles.
Secure the spacer in place using the 4 longer screws
supplied. Once the vent pipe is installed in its fi nal position,
apply high temperature sealant (not supplied) between the
pipe and the fi restop spacer.

This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for various roof pitches are
available from your Napoleon® dealer. See Accessories to order the specifi c kit required.
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a 8” square opening in the ceiling
and the roof to provide the minimum clearance between the vent pipe and any combustible
material. Try to center the vent pipe location midway between two joists to prevent having to
cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings.
Do not fi ll this space with any type of material.
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as
insulation, from fi lling up the 1" air space around the
pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.
2. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the
framework or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or
equivalent (in the case of a fi nished ceiling), and secure
over the opening in the ceiling. A fi restop must be placed
on the bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling
that the venting system passes through. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a
fi restop spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or
around the fi replace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance
to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant between
the pipe and the fi restop assembly.
3. In the attic, 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 fi lling up the 1" air space around the pipe.
