E. Disassemble Vent Sections

 

• Use a plumb-bob to mark the center line of the venting

• Rotate either section (see Figure 10.11) so the seams

 

system on the ceiling and drill a small hole through the

 

ceiling and roof at this point. Locate the hole and mark

on both pipe sections are aligned as shown in Figure

 

 

the outline of the cathedral ceiling support box on the

10.12.

 

 

outside roof.

• Pull carefully to separate the pieces of pipe.

 

 

• Remove shingles or other roof covering as necessary

 

 

 

 

to cut the rectangular hole for the support box. Cut the

 

 

hole 1/8 in. (3 mm) larger than the support box outline.

 

 

• Lower the support box through the hole in the roof until

 

 

its bottom is at least 2 in. (51 mm) below the ceiling

 

 

(Figure 10.13).

 

 

• Level the support box both vertically and horizontally

 

 

and temporarily tack it in place through the inside walls

 

 

into the roof sheathing.

 

 

• Use tin snips to cut the support box from the top corners

 

 

down to the roof line and fold the resulting flaps to the

 

 

roof. See Figure 10.14.

 

 

• Nail the flaps to the roof AFTER running a bead of non

 

 

hardening sealant between the flaps and the roof.

 

 

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Clean out ALL materials from

 

 

inside the support box and complete the vertical vent run

F. Install Decorative Ceiling Components

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(SLP only)

 

Figure 10.13

 

 

A decorative ceiling thimble can be installed on a flat ceil-

 

ing through which the vent passes. The decorative ceiling

 

thimble is used to cover the firestop, which is installed

 

according to section 8.C.

 

• Seal the gap between the vent pipe and firestop

 

using high temperature silicone to prevent cold air

 

infiltration.

 

• Install the decorative ceiling thimble by sliding it up to

 

the ceiling and attaching it using the provided screws.

 

A decorative black cathedral ceiling support box can be

 

used where vertical vent runs pass through a cathedral

 

ceiling.
