This application occurs when vent-
ing through an exterior wall.
Having determined the air termi-
nal location, cut and frame a hole
in an exterior wall with a minimum
square or round opening of 9".
(As an alternative to framing, a vent
pipe shield may be installed, en-
suring a 1" clearance to
combustibles.)
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe
shield to the determined depth of the
combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulk-
ing (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 re-
quired 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.
This application occurs when venting through a roof. In-
stallation kits for various roof pitches are available from
your Napoleon dealer. See Accessories to order the spe-
cific kit required.
1. Determine the air ter-
minal location and
move the stove into po-
sition. Cut and frame 9
inch openings in the
ceiling and the roof to
provide the minimum 1
inch clearance between
the stove pipe and any
combustible material.
Try to centre the ex-
haust pipe location
midway between two
joist to prevent hav-
ing to cut them. Use
a plumb bob to line
up the centre of the
openings.
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. Nail
headers between the joist for extra support.
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. A firestop 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 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 insu-
lation, from filling up the 1" air
space around the pipe.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot using
rigid venting.
For safe and proper operation of the stove, follow the venting instructions exactly.
