Install Instructions

Some Model TLC deluxe rain caps have a nominal inch
diameter expanding utility attachment adaptable to Model
TLC Chimney and other products of like internal diameter.
To attach securely:
1. Loosen screw on top of collar and squeeze bottom to
allow collar to enter pipe.
2. Press down evenly on lower skirt until it contacts upper
end of pipe.
3. Tighten screw on collar to expand lower end, and clamp
to inside of pipe. Keep tightening screw until collar is
expanded and fully tight.
STORM COLLAR
Model TLC Chimney flashings are provided with screened
ventilation openings or slots at the top of the cone. In
service, these openings are protected from rain by the storm
collar. DO NOT SEAL THESE OPENINGS. Make sure the
openings are not obstructed when installing the storm
collar.
In unoccupied attics, the flashing termination will provide a
small amount of ventilation. If this ventilation is not desired,
the underside of the roof or ceiling may be trimmed and
closed with a pitched ceiling plate or a fitted metal plate. All
Model TLC Chimney flashings have adequate interior space
for a roof support. See Sheet S-4 for roof support details.
If you are installing a chimney with flashing and storm collar,
follow these steps:
1 Finish the chimney to its desired height. Maintain a
2-inch clearance to combustibles where the chimney
passes through the roof.
2. Place the flashing suitable for the roof pitch over the
chimney pipe, and nail securely to the roof through side
and top flanges. (DO NOT nail through lower flange.)
Use nails with a neoprene washer, or cover the nail
heads with a waterproof mastic.
3. Finish roofing around chimney, covering the side and
upper areas of the flange with roofing material. However,
be sure the lower unnailed portion of the flange covers
the roofing material. See Figure 2.
4. Place the storm collar down over the chimney until it
touches the flashing. Tighten the adjusting screws or
tabs until the storm collar fits snugly against the pipe.
Work in a waterproof mastic between the pipe and the
storm collar. (Roof shield included with tall cone flashing.
See Figure 3.)
