Venting Installation

Continued

Terminations with 16" slip pipe sections are available. The RTT-8DM and RTTL-8DM are approved for flashing installations. When needed, these adjustable terminations may be used in combination with the pipe assembly to achieve the correct chimney height.

Note: In the rare instance there is a problem with the side driven rain or wind or the chimney is not drafting properly, an ADS-8DM (Anti-Draft Shield) can be used with round terminations.

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 spillage 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 16).

Note: If a decorative shroud is to be installed, contact the manufacturer for specifications.

finishing fireplace

Combustible materials, such as wallboard, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc. may make direct contact with sides and top around the fireplace face. It is important that combustible materials do not overlap the face itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncombustible materials may overlap the front face provided they do not obstruct essential openings like louvered slots or any other opening. When overlapping with a noncombustible facing material, use only noncombustible mortar or adhesive.
