For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and install the vent sections:

	•	Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the under-
		side of the roof, and drive a nail through the
		centerpoint.
	• Make the outline of the roof hole around the
		centerpoint nail.
	•	The size of the roof hole framing dimensions
		depend on the pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a
		1-inch (25.4 mm) clearance from the vertical vent
		pipe to combustible materials.
	• Mark the roof hole accordingly.
	•	Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.
	•	Cut and frame the roof hole.
	•	Use framing lumber the same size as the roof
		rafters and install the frame securely. Flashing
		anchored to the frame must withstand heavy winds.
	•	Continue to install concentric vent sections up
		through the roof hole (for inside vent installations) or
		up past the roof line until you reach the appropriate
		distance above the roof (for outside terminations).
