Flashing installation (v6f-10dm or v12f-10dm)

Determine the flashing to be used with the roof opening chart. Slide flashing over pipe until base is flat against roof. Replace as many shingles as needed to cover exposed area and flashing base. Secure in position by nailing through shingles (see Figure 21).

DO NOT NAIL THROUGH FLASHING CONE.

Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof

When installing the flashing on a metal roof, it is required that putty tape be used between the flashing and the roof. The flashing must be secured to the roof using #8 x 3/4" screws and then sealed with roof coating to prevent leakage through the screw holes. A roof coating must also be applied around the perimeter of the flashing to provide a proper seal.

Chase installations

Instructions for chase installations are included with the chase style termination chosen. In a multiple chase installation, be sure to provide adequate distance between terminations to prevent smoke spill- age from one termination to another. We suggest that terminations be separated at least 24", center to center and stacked at a vertical height difference of 18" (see Figure 24, page 17).
