Use (2) 5/16 inch, 3-inch long lag screws to 
attach the straps to the wall. Replace the Tee 
Cleanout Cap and screws, once the Tee is 
installed. 
6. Complete Chimney: Attach the Chimney 
Sections as in Step 7 of the Ceiling Supported 
Installation section. Secure the chimney to 
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 (2) 
5/16-inch, 3-inch long lag screws. Snap the 
Chimney Cap into the top of the chimney, 
once it is at the height specied in Figure 1. If 
the chimney penetrates an overhang, frame 
for at least 2 inches of clearance, and install

a Flashing and Storm Collar as described 
in Steps 8, 9 and 10 for Ceiling Supported 
Installations. Another option is to cut away 
the overhang for a 2-inch clearance.  (Figure 
28). If the chimney extends more than 4 feet 
above the top Wall Band, or Flashing, use an 
Extended Roof.
7. Install Chase Cover. If a chase enclosure 
has been constructed, installing the chase 
cover requires some special considerations.
The chase must be ventilated at the top 
and a 1/2-inch air gap must be established 
between the cover, and the framed chase 
top. In addition, a 1/2-inch air gap should 
exist between the hole in the cover, and the 
Chimney Pipe Sections. Figure 29 displays 
in some detail, how these air gaps are 
established with locally fabricated spacers and 
covers. These are not furnished by DuraVent, 
but may be made from 28 gage or heavier 
sheet metal. Should the installer elect to use 
Flat Roof Flashing, (which is a stock item), the 
air spaces are still required. When installing 
the Storm Collar, do not push it down all the 
way to the cover, but allow an air space for 
ow between the Chimney Pipe and the hole 
in the cover. 
MASONRY FIREPLACE 
INSTALLATIONS 
1. Determine Chimney Size: Use Table 4 
to determine the correct diameter chimney for 
your replace. 
2. Mount Anchor Plate: Chimneys for 
masonry replaces begin with an Anchor Plate.  
Center the Anchor Plate on a brick or concrete 
base over the masonry ue opening. Seal the 
Anchor Plate with a high-temperature sealant, 
and secure with (4) 1/4-inch masonry anchors.   
(Figure 30). Be sure it is level. The Anchor 
Plate is available in two styles. One contains 
the perforated Starter Section, which is used
