Venting Installation

Continued

5.Place flashing over pipe section(s) ex- tending through roof. Secure base of flashing to roof and framing with roofing nails. Be sure roofing material overlaps top edge of flashing as shown in Figure 19, page 15. There must be a 1" clearance from vent pipe to combustible materials.

6.Continue to add pipe sections until height of vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements described in Figure 7 on page 8.

Note: You must increase vent height for steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs and other

Vertical Termination Configurations Figures 21 through 24 show four different configurations for vertical termination.

similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing vent height may solve this problem.

7.Twist-lock vent cap onto last section of vent pipe.

Note: If vent pipe passes through any occupied areas above first floor, including storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure and meet minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not fill any required air spaces with insulation.
