Napoleon 1100C, Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

W415-0512 / B / 11.15.05

It must be installed be-

tween ceiling joists,

with radiation shield

and roof flashing, so

that the structural

strength, insulation

and waterproof quali-

ties of the home are not

lessened. Seal with

silicone to maintain a

vapour barrier at the

chimney and outside

air pipe penetrations.

Connection from the stove's air intake to the outside is man-

datory in mobile homes only, either through a hole in the

wall to line up with the knockout in the pedestal back, or

through a hole in the floor to line up with the hole in the

pedestal base. Use a fresh air kit. Secure the 4 inch diam-

eter aluminum liner by flaring the end once it is inserted

through the 4-1/2 inch diameter hole in either the back or

base of the pedestal. If the air intake is through the floor, the

hole in the pedestal back must be covered with sheet metal

to avoid cold air spillage into the room. A cover plate is

available from your Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. Avoid cutting away

floor joists, wall studs, electrical wires or plumbing. Seal

around the outside pipe with insulation to prevent drafts.

If room air starvation occurs because the fresh air
intake is blocked with ice, leaves, etc., or because
the stove door was left open, or due to a strong
exhaust fan operating etc., dangerous fumes and
smoke from the operating stove could be drawn
into the room.

Your EPI  1101 and 1401 insert firebox is the exact duplica-

tion of the clean-burning technology found in all Napoleon

EPA certified freestanding stoves and in particular that of

the EPA 1100 and 1400. External modifications have been

made to allow its installation as a "functional fireplace in-

sert" with a heat circulating blower system and a means of

enclosing the solid fuel burning fireplace cavity for greater

heating efficiency.
The EPI 1101 insert must be installed into a solid fuel burning
fireplace that is at least 16 1/2 to 21 inches deep, 28 1/2
inches wide and 21 1/2 inches high with an approved lined
chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m).
Your EPI 1401 fireplace insert must be installed only into a
solid fuel burning fireplace that is at least 14 inches deep 26
inches wide and 22 inches high with an approved lined chim-
ney at least 15 feet high (4.6m). 

This minimum recess can

only be achieved if the opening height is sufficient enough to
allow the connector to fit under the noncombustible facing.

The fireplace and chimney must be constructed in accord-
ance with all national and local building code standards.

HINT FOR INSTALLING PORCELAIN
ENAMEL INSERTS:

Ensure the base of the porcelain side panels
are protected from rubbing against the hearth
when sliding your insert into the masonry
fireplace.

Clean all ashes out of the inside of the fireplace. Make

sure that the chimney and fireplace are free of cracks,

loose mortar, creosote deposits, blockage or other

signs of deterioration. If necessary, have any repair

work done by a qualified professional before installing

the insert.

Do 

NOT

 remove bricks or mortar from the fireplace. In case

of an outside air inlet or ash dump, fill with fiberglass insu-

lation. Adhere to minimum clearances as shown in 

FIGURE

12.

Do 

NOT

 place any com-

bustible materials (furni-

ture, firewood, etc.) within

48 inches in front or 36

inches at the side of the

insert.

Combustible material must not protrude more that 1"
to the side of the insert or between the mantle and the
top of the insert.

1.

Remove the fireplace damper or fasten it permanently

open.

* We recommend the following method of sealing off the

damper area around the liner.

2. 

*Measure the throat of the fireplace and mark this shape

on a piece of  24 gauge sheet metal (flue cover); cut a six-

inch (6.75”) hole to lie directly below the fireplace flue

opening. Allow two inches of material for a flange on all

sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the

flanges. If you have never done this before, it might be a

good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it first.

Fasten this flue cover in position as high as possible with

two masonry screws per side through the flanges into the

fireplace. 

FIGURE 13.

In Canada:

Install a listed 6 inch diameter flexible stain-

less steel liner from the top of the chimney to the insert flue

collar. Attach a stainless steel liner connector or elbow to

the liner and insert onto the flue collar. Fasten with three

screws. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap us-

ing a liner support and chimney flashing. Cap the top of the

chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.
