Figure 13 - Flashing Installation

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 coating to prevent leak

age 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 (SC2-1)

Place storm collar over pipe and slide down

until it is snug against the open edge of the

flashing (see Figure 14). Apply waterproof

caulk around the perimeter of the collar to

provide a proper seal.

CHASE INSTALLATIONS

terminations to prevent smoke spillage from

one termination to another. Terminations be

separated a minimum of 24" center to center

and stacked at a minimum vertical height dif

ference of 18" (see Figure 16).

Note: If a decorative shroud is to be installed,

contact the manufacturer for specifications.
