INSTALLATION
VERTICAL TERMINATION (continued)
5.Slip the flashing over the Pipe Section(s) protruding through the roof. Secure the base of the Flashing to the roof with roofing nails. Ensure the roofing materials overlap the top edge of the Flashing as shown in Figure 12. Verify that you have at least the minimum clearance to combustibles at the roof line.
Figure 12
6.Continue to add Pipe Sections until the height of the Vent Cap meets the minimum building code requirements described in Figure 13. Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased. High wind conditions, nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep pitched roofs, and other factors can result in poor draft, or down drafting. In these cases, increasing the vent height may solve this problem.
