Hearth and Home Technologies EM-415H owner manual Chase Top, Install the Termination Cap

Install the Chimney Air Kit (required in Canada):

When installing the chimney air kit, follow the instructions provided with this accessory.

B. Chase Top

A metal chase top is required to seal the top of the chase around the chimney pipe. The top should include a turn- down and drip edge to prevent water from seeping into the chase. Provide a 1/8 in. (3 mm) gap around the flue pipe and slope the top downward away from the penetration. See Figure 6.4.

•All seams must be caulked to prevent leaks.

•A chase installation must use a chase top. Chase tops are available from your Heat & Glo dealer or may be field constructed.

•Attach the chase top to the top of the chase.

Termination Cap

C. Install the Termination Cap

Note: To protect against the effect of corrosion on those parts exposed to the weather, the termination cap can be painted with a rust-resistant paint.

WARNING

Fire Risk

•The minimum overlap of cap to pipe MUST be met or chimney may separate from cap.

Separation allows sparks, heat and embers to escape.

•Install the chimney sections up through the chase enclosure. When using a TR344 Round Termination Cap, the uppermost top section of pipe must extend 6 in. (152 mm) above the top of the flashing collar to allow installation of the storm collar and termination cap. See Figure 6.5.
