Continue Installing Pipe to Complete Run

Install the attic insulation shield with the flanges on its base extending down into the framing hole. Nail each corner of attic insulation shield to the framing members of the ceiling hole using 8d nails. Attic shields are not required at the roof.

Continue Installing Pipe to Complete Run

Continue attaching pipe sections to complete system to next level always being careful that the pipe is firmly snapped locked in place before proceeding to next pipe section.

Chimney Supports

If chimney supports are required, they are installed the same as elbows. Nail chimney support straps to adjacent structural framing, as shown on Figure 9, Page 8. Bend straps as necessary and make sure they are secure so they will support the weight of the chimney. A chimney support is 2¹⁄₂" long when in- stalled. Consider this dimension when determining how many straight chimney sections are needed.

Note: Chimney supports are generally used in long runs in a chase installation.

Additional Ceilings

If you encounter additional ceilings, repeat same steps required for first ceiling installation. See firestop illustration on Figure 18, Page 12.

Penetrating the Roof

Run pipe to roofline. Since chimney system must be vented to the out-of-doors, you must use an approved Vermont Castings, Majestic Products termination.

If a chase is used, refer to the installation manual provided with the termination cap.

Locate Chimney Centerpoint On Roof

Use same procedure detailed in locating center point of the flue system.

Drive a nail up through roof at the center point. This will determine center point on outside of the roof.

Cut and Frame Roof Hole

Size of roof hole varies with the type of chimney termination installed. Refer to installation instructions provided with Vermont Castings, Majestic Products chimney termination to find correct size of roof hole.

There must be a 1¹⁄₂ inch air space between outermost portion of chimney sections and any adjacent combus- tible surfaces. (Combustible surfaces include burnable materials such as: ceiling members, joists, flooring, combustible insulation and roof structures.)

Mark an outline of the roof hole around the center of the point nail. Note: Hole dimensions given in the chimney top installation instructions are horizontal dimensions; therefore, the hole size must be marked on the roof accordingly.

Cover the opening of the installed chimney so debris cannot get into the system.

Cut and frame the hole. It is good practice to use framing lumber that is the same size as the rafters. Install the frame securely because the chimney top and flashing anchored to the frame must be able to withstand heavy winds.

Install Remainder of Chimney Sections

Since you have already preplanned the height of your termination according to the Ten Foot Rule, continue to install pipe to the predetermined height.

Check the chimney top installation instructions for details on how high above the roof top the chimney sections (all pipes) should extend.
