For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and install the vent sections: • Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the underside of the roof, and drive a nail through the centerpoint. • Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint nail. • The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on the pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a 1-inch (25.4 mm) clearance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible materials. • Mark the roof hole accordingly.
To seal the roof hole, and to divert rain and snow from the vent system: • Attach a flashing to the roof using nails, and use a non-hardening mastic around the edges of the flashing base where it meets the roof. • Attach a storm collar over the flashing joint to form a water-tight seal. Place non-hardening mastic around the joint, between the storm collar and the vertical pipe. • Slide the termination cap over the end of the vent pipe and rotate the pipe clockwise 1/4 turn. 1.
Step 4 Positioning, Leveling, and Securing the Fireplace The diagram below shows how to properly position, level, and secure the fireplace. 1. Place the fireplace into position. 2.
