ed with chase style termination chosen. In a 

multiple chase installation, be sure to provide 

adequate distance between terminations to 

prevent smoke spillage from one termination

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 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.
