minimum venting requirements

EN
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent or Metal-Fab venting
components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, clearances from
vent pipes to combustibles and air terminal locations as set out in this manual apply to all vent systems and
must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab,
follow the installation procedure provided with the venting components. A starter adaptor must be used with the
following vent systems and may be purchased from the corresponding supplier:

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.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel fl exible components with the wall
terminal kit GD422R-2, or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD410, 8/12 to 12/12 roof terminal kit GD411,
fl at roof terminal kit GD412 or periscope kit GD401 (for wall penetration below grade). With fl exible venting, in
conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot (1.5m) vent kit GD420 or the 10 foot (3.1m) vent
kit GD430.
For optimum fl ame appearance and appliance performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to
a minimum.
Horizontal runs may have a 0" (0mm) rise per foot/meter however for optimum performance it is
recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4" (21mm) rise per foot/meter using fl exible
venting. For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.
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.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable
horizontal run is 20 feet (6.1m). The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet (12.2m). 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.
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two single
family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼"
(31.8mm) air gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is required for safe operation.
