Initial Installation

STEP 5. Cut hole in the roof centered on the small hole placed in the roof from Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet minimum requirements for Clearance to Combustibles, as specified. Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling support box up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roof line. The galvanized finish is desirable above the roof line, due to the higher corrosion resistance.
STEP 6. Once the pipe sections have been joined, and run up through the hole in the roof, slip an elbow strap over
the exposed sections, bend |
