C. Flue Termination

For Horizontal Terminations - To attach and secure the termination to the last section of horizontal flue:

•Rotate and interlock the ends as described at the beginning of the Installing Flue Components sec- tion.

•The termination kit should pass through the wall firestops from the exterior of the building.

•Adjust the termination cap to its final exterior po- sition on the building.

!WARNING: THE TERMINATION CAP MUST BE POSITIONED SO THAT THE ARROW IS POINTING UP.

•Use the exterior pipelock hole provided on the round flange of the wall firestop to secure the flue pipe in place.

•Use a high-temperature sealant or fiberglass rope gasket to seal between the pipe and exterior firestop.

•See Figure 4 for flue termination clearances.
