These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the ﬁ replace. The maximum allowable horizontal run is 20 feet. The

maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of vent connections is two horizontally or three vertically

(excluding the ﬁ replace and the air terminal connections) when using ﬂ exible venting.

For optimum ﬂ ame appearance and ﬁ replace performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.

HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: - A minimum clearance

of 1" at the bottom and sides of the vent and 2" at the top on

all horizontal runs to combustibles is required. The ﬁ restop

spacer (W010-1774) supplied with the unit must be used to

maintain this clearance.

VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: - A minimum of 1" all around

the vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required

except for clearances in ﬁ replace enclosures. See "MINIMUM

ENCLOSURE CLEARANCES" section. Use ﬁ restop spacer

W500-0096 (not supplied).

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or American Metal Amerivent 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. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent, 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 ﬁ replace 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 rigid / ﬂ exible components with the following termination kits: WALL

TERMINAL KIT GD222, or 1/12 to 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12 to 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF

TERMINAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall penetration below grade). With ﬂ exible venting, in conjunction with the various

terminations, use either the 5 FOOT VENT KIT GD220 or the 10 FOOT VENT KIT GD330.

BCDV42CF

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel ﬂ exible components with the following termination kits: WALL

TERMINAL KIT GD422, or 1/12 to 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD410, 8/12 to 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD411, FLAT 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 VENT KIT GD420 or the 10 FOOT VENT KIT GD430.

Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be combined. Wolf

Steel rigid and ﬂ exible venting systems must not be combined.

MODEL BCDV36CF MAY BE VENTED EITHER AS A TOP VENT OR A REAR VENT.

REFER TO THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR INSTALLATION.

VENTING LENGTHS

THE BCDV36CF(G) USES: 4" EXHAUST / 7" AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE

THE BCDV42CF USES: 5" EXHAUST / 8" AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE

For safe and proper operation of the ﬁ replace follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the minimum vertical

vent length can create difﬁ culty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Provide a means for visually checking the vent con-

nection to the ﬁ replace after the ﬁ replace is installed. Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages,

crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.

VENTING

HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 2"

all around the vent pipe on all horizontal runs to combustibles

is required. Use ﬁ restop spacer W010-1778 (supplied).

VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum of 1" all around the

vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required. Use

ﬁ restop spacer W500-0028 (not supplied).

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all hori-

zontal runs have a 1" rise per foot.
