Note: Do not apply excessive pressure to any subsequent chimney sections following the stabilizer when installing. Ensure each subsequent chimney section is securely attached by testing as noted in Step 4.

Step 6. Select the proper Security Chimneys roof flashing based on pitch of roof. Use chart below for selection:

Roof Pitch

Model

 

 

Flat to 6/12

F8F6

 

 

6/12 to 12/12

F8F12

Next, slide roof flashing over extended chimney section that previously has been installed above the roof opening in Step4. FTF8 flashings require flashing spacers. Slide flashing all the way down until the flashing base rests flat on the roof (Figure 38). Again, check the vertical position of the chimney and the 1"* minimum air space to insulation and construction materials.

Note: Do not caulk or seal the ventilating openings or seal the flashing at the chimney.

Step 7. Secure flashing by nailing along the perimeter into roof using 8d nails. If shingled roof, slide upper end and sides of roof flash- ing under shingles (trim if necessary), seal the top and both sides of the flashing to the roof with roof caulking. Cover nail heads with roof caulking (Figure 39).

* Notes

•2" clearance to insulation and construction materials required in Canada.

•Outdoor installations less than 15’ height require chimney clearance of 2” air space to insulation and construction materials.

Step 8. The standard Security FTF8 roof flash- ing assemblies include a storm collar. Slide the storm collar over outer chimney, rest on flashing spacers and align with top surface of flashing. Insert tab in slot, pull tight and bend tab back over slot. Seal storm collar to outer chimney with roof caulking or mastic around entire circumference of pipe. Also add extra roof caulking to the tab/slot area to seal completely against water penetration (Figure 40). Check all joints very carefully to ensure no water intrusion can take place.

Step9.Security Chimneys locking bands, Model FLB, may be required if the chimney extends too high above the roof flashing. As a general rule, if the chimney extends more than 6' above the roof flashing, the use of locking bands is advisable to strengthen the chimney assembly. Align the locking band at the chimney joint. Locking bands wrap around pipe joints equally covering the joints of both pipe sections. Use the nut provided and TIGHTEN snugly. Do not overtighten as this might damage the chimney section (refer to Figure 40).

Note: If chimney extends more than 8' above roof surface, guy wires are also recommended. Use three (3) guy wires, attach to locking band assembly, extend and secure to roof in a triangular pattern (see Figure 41). Guy wires are not supplied by the manufacturer.

Step 10. Using a FTF8-CTD or FTF8-CTDT Round Termination (indoor fireplace installations only):

1.Hold the FTF8-CTD (or CTDP) over top of last chimney section (Figure 42).

2.Center inner slip section in inner flue pipe- slip down.

3.Center outer locking section over outer flue pipe. Push down until locking tabs are firmly engaged.

4.Pull up slightly on CTD to ensure locking joint has firmly engaged.

Using a FTF8-CTDTM Chase Termination: Refer to specific installation instructions (750,205M) included with the FTF8-CTDTM chase termination for clearance and installation details.

Using a FTF8-CT1 or FTF8-CT1P Chase Termination:

Refer to specific installation instructions (750,015M) included with FTF8-CT1 chase terminations for clearance and installation details.

Using a FTF8-CT2 Chase Termination: Refer to specific installation instructions (750,016M) included with FTF8-CT2 chase terminations for clearance and installation details.

Using a FTF8-CTT Chase Termination: Refer to specific installation instructions (750,077M) included with FTF8-CTT chase terminations for clearance and installation details.
