prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the

centre.

2. Cut and frame an opening in the ceiling to provide a

minimum clearance of 2" between the outside of the chim-

ney and any combustible material. DO NOT FILL THIS

SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL! Nail headers

between the joists for extra support. Firestop spacers must

be placed on the bottom of each framed opening in any

floor or ceiling that the chimney passes through.

3. Hold a plumb bob from the underside of the roof to

determine where the opening in the roof should be. Cut

and frame the roof opening maintaining proper 2" clear-

ances.

An insulated elbow must be used when it becomes nec- essary to offset the chimney in order to clear a joist or to pass through an upstairs closet.

Attach an elbow to the chimney section, angled toward the offset. Secure with 3 - #8X1/2" sheet metal screws. To achieve the minimum offset, attach and secure a return elbow to the first. To achieve longer offsets, you may install any available length of chimney pipe between the elbows.

Supports must be used on the first vertical chimnney sec- tion after a return elbow.

ADDING CHIMNEY SECTIONS

Add chimney sections, twist locking (clockwise) securely, to the required height. Use a rafter radiation shield when- ever the chimney system is enclosed within an attic area.

INSTALLING FLASHING AND STORM COLLAR

Remove the nails from the shingles above and to the sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the chimney pipe and slide underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the chimney pipe is properly centered within the flashing, giving a 3/4" margin all around. Fasten to the roof on the top and sides. DO NOT NAIL through the lower portion of the flashing. Make weather-tight by seal- ing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flashing with roofing material. Apply water- proof caulking, provided with the flashing, around the chim- ney, 1" above the top of the flashing and push the storm collar down into the caulking. Insert a rain cap onto the top of the last chimney section.
