To facilitate the proper installation of the roof jack, it is very important that the roof jack opening in the ceiling and roof be on the same vertical center line as the furnace flue collar. See Figures 30 and 31.
Mark this location on ceiling and scribe a circle with a 5" (1.5 m) radius {10" (25.4 cm) diameter} around this mark. Cut opening for roof jack through ceiling and roof. (If furnace was installed during construction, cover furnace and flue opening to prevent debris from entering flue when hole is cut for roof jack).

The joint where the optional interior extension connects to the roof jack must be below the ceiling. Failure to observe this requirement may result in asphyxiation, fire, or explosion
NOTE: Use of an interior extension will increase the roof jack adjust- able heights by the amount of the interior extension height.
