NOTICE: Failure to properly caulk the roof flashing and pipe seams may permit entry of water.

Caulk the gap between the roof flashing and the outside diameter of the pipe.

Caulk the perimeter of the flashing where it contacts the roof surface. See Figure 8.12.

Caulk the overlap seam of any exposed pipe sections that are located above the roof line.

CAUTION! Risk of Cuts, Abrasions or Flying Debris. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal edges are sharp.

Connect both halves of the storm collar with two screws (see Figure 8.13).

Wrap the storm collar around the exposed pipe section closest to the roof and align brackets. Insert a bolt (provided) through the brackets and tighten the nut to complete the storm collar assembly. Make sure the collar is tight against the pipe section.

Slide the assembled storm collar down the pipe section until it rests on the roof flashing (see Figure 8.14).

Caulk around the top of the storm collar (see Figure 8.15).

FAQ

What is the purpose of a storm collar?

A storm collar helps to prevent water from entering around the vent pipe on your indoor fireplace, protecting your roof and the interior of your home.

How should I caulk the roof flashing and pipe seams?

Caulk the gap between the roof flashing and the outside diameter of the pipe, as well as the perimeter of the flashing where it contacts the roof surface. This will help to ensure a watertight seal.

What are the minimum vent heights for various pitched roofs?

Refer to Figure 8.11 to determine the minimum height from the roof to the lowest discharge opening based on the roof pitch.
