FLASHING INSTALLATION: (V6F-8DM or V12F-8DM)
Determine the flashing to be used with the roof-opening chart.
Slide flashing over pipe until base is flat against roof. Replace
as many shingles as needed to cover exposed area and flashing
base. Secure in position by nailing through shingles (see
figure 12).
DO NOT NAIL THROUGH FLASHING CONE.
INSTALLING FLASHING ON A METAL ROOF:
When installing the flashing on a metal roof it is required that
putty tape be used between the flashing and the roof. The
flashing must be secured to the roof using #8 x ¾” screws and
then sealed with roof coating to prevent leakage through the
screw holes. A roof coating must also be applied around the
perimeter of the flashing to provide a proper seal.
STORM COLLAR INSTALLATION: (SC1 or SC2)
Place storm collar over pipe and slide down until it is snug
against the open edge of the flashing (see figure 13). Use SC1
for all round terminations and SC2 for all terminations with
slip sections. Apply waterproof caulking to all seams and
notches around storm collar and also at base around shingles.
Note: Storm collar is required but can be installed after the
home is sited.
TERMINATIONS / SPARK ARRESTOR:
The fireplace system must be terminated with the listed round
top terminations. In any case, refer to the installation
instructions supplied with the termination. The terminations
approved for this fireplace are the RT-8DM and RTL-8DM.
Figure 18 shows an RTL-8DM round top termination.
IMPORTANT: Terminations are required but can be installed
once the manufactured house is sited.
Terminations with 16” slip pipe sections are available. The
RTT-8DM and RTTL-8DM are approved for flashing
installations. When needed, these adjustable terminations may
be used in combination with the pipe assembly to achieve the
correct chimney height.
NOTE:
In the rare instance there is a problem with side driven
rain or wind or the chimney is not drafting properly, an ADS-
8DM Anti Draft Shield can be used with round terminations.
10 FOOT RULE:
All flue gas outlet of chimney termination must extend a
minimum of 3 feet in height above the highest point where it
passes through the roof and must be at least 2 feet above the
highest point of the roof that is within a horizontal distance of
10 feet (see figure 15).

CAUTION:
Do not seal openings on the rooftop flashing.
Follow the installation instructions provided with the
termination being used.
