3.Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole as a center point. (Cover any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole in roof). The 10Z\x"x10Z\x" (241 x 241 mm) hole must be measured on the horizontal. Actual length may be larger depending on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1" minimum clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials. (Insulation should be considered a combustible material).
4.Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole.
NOTE: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet. Use wall straps for this purpose. See Figure 18, page
19.Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of the flue gases and intake air.
5.Place the flashing over the pipe section(s) extending through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof and framing with roofing nails. Be sure roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing. There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials.
6.Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements.
NOTE: You must increase vent height for steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or
NOTE: If the vent pipe passes through any occupied areas above the first floor, including storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure to meet the minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the required clearance spaces with insulation.
