-
tending through roof. Secure base of
flashing to roof and framing with roofing
nails. Be sure roofing material overlaps
top edge of flashing as shown in Figure
19, page 15. There must be a 1" clearance
from vent pipe to combustible materials.
6. Continue to add pipe sections until height
of vent cap meets the minimum building
code requirements described in Figure 7
on page 8.
Note: You must increase vent height for
steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining

similar factors may cause poor draft or
down-drafting in high winds. Increasing
the vent height may solve this problem.
7. Twist-lock vent cap onto last section of
vent pipe.
Note: If vent pipe passes through any occu-
pied areas above first floor, including storage
spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe.
You may frame and sheetrock enclosure with
standard construction material. Make sure
and meet minimum allowable clearances
to combustibles. Do not fill any required air
spaces with insulation.
