HST-38 SERIES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 and termination cap be painted with a rust-
resistant paint.
