For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and install the vent sections:

Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the underside of the roof, and drive a nail through the centerpoint.

Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint nail.

The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on the pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a 1-inch (25.4mm) clear- ance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible materials.

Mark the roof hole accordingly.

Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.

Cut and frame the roof hole.

Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters and install the frame securely. Flashing anchored to the frame must withstand heavy winds.

Continue to install concentric vent sections up through the roof hole (for inside vent installations) or up past the roof line until you reach the appropriate distance above the roof (for outside terminations).

Attach a flashing to the roof using nails, and use a non- hardening mastic around the edges of the flashing base where it meets the roof.

Attach a storm collar over the flashing joint to form a water-tight seal. Place non-hardening mastic around the joint, between the storm collar and the vertical pipe.

Slide the termination cap over the end of the vent pipe and snap into place.

Securing the Fireplace
