Install the chimney sections up through
the chase enclosure. When using a TR344
round termination cap, the uppermost top
section of pipe must extend 6” above the
top of the chase collar to allow installation
of the storm collar and termination cap.
See Figure 20B.

For installations utilizing a TR342 telescop-
ing round termination cap, the uppermost
chimney section must be below the top of
the chase top, but not more than 14-1/2”
below the top of the chase top flashing
collar. See Figure 20C.
c.
For installations utilizing an ST375 square
termination cap the last chimney section
must not be more than 4-1/2” below the
chase top. See Figure 20D.

WARNING!
Never install a single wall slip section or smoke-
pipe in a chase structure. The higher temperature of
this single wall pipe may radiate sufficient heat to
combustible chase materials to cause a fire.
WARNING!
Detailed instructions for installation of the chase top, storm
collar and termination cap are packaged with these parts.
To avoid danger of fire, all instructions must be strictly
followed, including the provision of air space clearance
between chimney system and enclosure. To protect against
the effects of corrosion on those parts exposed to the
weather, we recommend that the chase top be painted with
a rust-resistant paint.
