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 13). 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 3/4" screws and then sealed with roof coat-
ing 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 14). Use SC1 for all round terminations and
SC2 for all terminations with slip sections. Apply
waterproof caulk around the perimeter of the collar
to provide a proper seal.

Terminations/Spark Arrestor
The fireplace system must be terminated with the
listed round top or chase terminations. In any case,
refer to the installation instructions supplied with
the termination. The termination approved for this
fireplace are the RT-8DM and RTL-8DM that can
be used for flashing or chase and ET-8DM, ETO-
8DM, ETL-8DM and ETLO-8DM for chase style
termination only. Figure 15 shows an RTL-8DM
round top termination.
CAUTION: Do not seal open-
ings on the rooftop flashing. Fol-
low the installation instructions
