the wall with Wall Straps at 4-foot intervals
to maintain at least 2 inches of clearance to
combustible materials. Slip the Wall Straps
around the chimney, tighten the bolts, and
fasten the Wall Straps to the wall with (4) #8,
2-1/2” long wood screws. Once the chimney
is at the minimum height specied in Figure
1, attach the Chimney Cap onto the top of the
chimney by holding it by the collar and slipping
the female end of the Cap onto the male end
of the Chimney Pipe. Secure the Cap in place
by using the (6) sheet metal screws provided.
If the chimney penetrates an overhang, frame
for at least 2 inches of clearance, and install
Roof Radiation Shields (required for 18”-24”
diameter chimney only), Flashing and Storm
Collar as described in Steps 7, 10 & 11 for
Ceiling Supported Installations. Another
option is to cut away the overhang for a 2-inch
clearance (Fig 22). If the chimney extends
more than 4 feet above the top Wall Strap
or Flashing, use an Extended Roof Support
Bracket.
8. Install Chase Top Flashing: It is
recommended that a Tee Supported Chimney
be enclosed in a chase. If a chase enclosure
has been constructed, you can either use a
standard at-roof ashing, or you can use
a Chase Top Flashing. Using a Chase Top
Flashing allows for a lower prole for the
chimney. The Chase Top Flashing has an
opening in the center that has a 3” larger
diameter than the the outer diameter of the
DuraTech Chimney. If the Chase Top Flashing
can t over your chase enclosure as required
(Fig 23) then install as directed, or trim as
needed. However, if the Chase Top Flashing is
smaller than your chase enclosure, the you will
need to provide a galvanized sheet capable of
covering your chase and overhanging the each
side by 1/4-1/2 inch. Attach the Chase Top
Flashing to the galvanized sheet using sheet
metal screws and non-hardening waterproof
sealant. Use the Chase Top Flashing Spacers
to allow the proper air-gap clearances on the
galvanized sheet. The Chase Top Flashing
Spacers are available to insure that the
proper air-gap is maintained. Figure 23
displays in some detail, how these air gaps
are established using the Spacers and Chase
Top Flashing. Secure the Chase Top Flashing
to the chase using a sufcient number of #8,
1-1/2” wood screws, being careful to insure
the air gap is maintained between the ashing
and the chase. Seal the screw heads with
non-hardening sealant. Install the Storm Collar
directly down on top of the collar of the Chase
Top Flashing.
