3.0 VENTING ! WARNING RISK OF FIRE, MAINTAIN SPECIFIED AIR SPACE CLEARANCES TO VENT PIPE AND APPLIANCE. IF VENTING IS INCLUDED WITH SPACERS THE VENT SYSTEM MUST BE SUPPORTED EVERY 3 FEET FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. USE SUPPORTS OR EQUIVALENT NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE FROM COMBUSTIBLES. USE WOLF STEEL LTD.
For optimum flame appearance and appliance operation, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum. It is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot. 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 flexible venting systems must not be combined. Different venting manufacturers components must not be combined.
3.3 SPECIAL VENT INSTALLATIONS 3.3.1 PERISCOPE TERMINATION Use the periscope kit to locate the air termination above grade. The periscope must be installed so that when final grading is completed, the bottom air slot is located a minimum 12” above grade. The maximum allowable vent length is 10’ for a fireplace and 8’ for a stove. 12" MINIMUM TO GRADE 29" MIN REGARDLESS OF HORIZONTAL VENT LENGTH 30 3/4" 9.1A W415-0514 / E / 04.16.

4.0 INSTALLATION ! WARNING FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE, FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. ALL INNER EXHAUST AND OUTER INTAKE VENT PIPE JOINTS MAY BE SEALED USING EITHER RED RTV HIGH TEMP SILICONE SEALANT W573-0002 (NOT SUPPLIED) OR BLACK HIGH TEMP MILL PAC W573-0007 (NOT SUPPLIED) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE APPLIANCE EXHAUST FLUE COLLAR WHICH MUST BE SEALED USING MILL PAC.
4.2 WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION ! WARNING DO NOT FILL THE SPACE BETWEEN THE VENT PIPE AND ENCLOSURE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL. DO NOT PACK INSULATION OR COMBUSTIBLES BETWEEN CEILING FIRESTOPS. ALWAYS MAINTAIN SPECIFIED CLEARANCES AROUND VENTING AND FIRESTOP SYSTEMS. INSTALL WALL SHIELDS AND FIRESTOPS AS SPECIFIED. FAILURE TO KEEP INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS AWAY FROM VENT PIPE MAY CAUSE FIRE. 70.
4.2.2 VERTICAL INSTALLATION This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for various roof pitches are available from your authorized dealer / distributor. See accessories to order specific kits required. A. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a square opening as illustrated in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1“ clearance between the vent pipe and any combustible material.
4.2.3 HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION ! WARNING TERMINALS MUST NOT BE RECESSED INTO A WALL OR SIDING MORE THAN THE DEPTH OF THE RETURN FLANGE OF THE MOUNTING PLATE. DO NOT ALLOW THE INNER FLEX PIPE TO BUNCH UP ON HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL RUNS AND ELBOWS. KEEP IT PULLED TIGHT. SPACERS ARE ATTACHED TO THE INNER FLEX AT PREDETERMINED INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN AIR GAP TO THE OUTER FLEX PIPE. THIS GAP IS REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION.
4.2.4 VERTICAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION ! WARNING MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 2” SPACE BETWEEN THE AIR INLET BASE AND THE STORM COLLAR. A. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws provided. The roof support is optional. In this case the venting is to be adequately supported using either an alternate method suitable to the authority having jurisdiction or the optional roof support. B. Stretch the inner flex pipe to the required length.
4.2.5 APPLIANCE VENT CONNECTION A. B. C. Attach the adjustable pipe to the last section of rigid pipe. Secure with screws and seal. #8 X 1/2” SELF DRILLING Install the inner flex pipe to the appliance. Secure with 3 screws and flat washers. Seal the joint and screw holes using the high SCREWS temperature sealant W573-0007 (not supplied). Run a bead of high temperature sealant (not supplied) around the inside of the air intake collar. Pull the adjustable pipe a minimum 2” into the air intake collar.
4.2.6 VERTICAL THROUGH EXISTING CHIMNEY ! WARNING RISK OF FIRE! CO-AXIAL TO CO-LINEAR VENTING CONFIGURATIONS MUST ONLY BE USED IN A NONCOMBUSTIBLE CHIMNEY OR ENCLOSURE. INSTALLATION IN A COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. This appliance is designed to be attached to a 3” co-linear aluminum flex vent system running the full length of a masonry chimney. The flex liners accommodate any contours of a masonry chimney, however, it is necessary to keep the flexible liners as straight as possible.
4.3 B-VENT INSTALLATION - CS500 4.3.1 CHIMNEY INSTALLATION ! WARNING A CHIMNEY VENTING THIS APPLIANCE SHALL NOT VENT ANY SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE. Three types of chimney systems may be used with this appliance.

TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE. APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS. SYMPTOM Main burner goes out; pilot stays on. Main burner goes out; pilot goes out. Pilot goes out when the gas knob is released.
SYMPTOM PROBLEM Pilot will not light. No spark at pilot burner. TEST SOLUTION - Check if pilot can be lit by a match. Check that the wire is connected to the push button igniter. Check if the push button igniter needs tightening. Replace the wire if the wire insulation is broken or frayed. Replace the electrode if the ceramic insulator is cracked or broken. Replace the push button ignitor Out of propane gas. - Fill the tank. Spark gap is incorrect. - Spark gap should be 0.150” to 0.
SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION Blower does not turn on Blower high limit switch has been activated - Turn blower switch on, turn turbo rear burner off and front burner to low. When blower turns on, re-adjust burners. Door sticking Dirt / dust adheres to the hinges; is heated and burns causing sticking. - Lift door from its hinges. Lubricate with high-temp dry graphite only.
