4.Thread the air terminal connector / vent pipe assembly down through the roof. The air terminal must be located vertically and plumb. Attach the air terminal connector to the roof support, ensuring that the top of the air terminal is 16” above the highest point that it penetrates the roof. Figure 12. DO NOT CLAMP THE FLEX VENT PIPE.

5.Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air terminal connector leaving a min. 3/4” of the air terminal connector showing above the top of the flashing. Slide the flashing underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal connector is properly

centred within the flashing, giving a 3/4” margin all around. Fasten to the roof. Do not nail through the lower portion of the flashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flashing with roofing material. Figure 14.

6. Aligning the seams of the terminal and air terminal connector, place the terminal

2”

over the air terminal connector making sure the vent pipe goes into the hole in the terminal. Secure with the three screws provided. Figure 14.

7.Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2" above the flashing. Note: Maintain a minimum 2” space between the air inlet base and the storm collar. Install the storm collar around the air terminal and slide down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar is achieved. Figure 14.

8.If more vent pipe needs to be used to reach the fireplace, couple them together as illustrated. The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum 1" clearance to combustibles. Figure 11.
