Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe
and high temperature silicone seal-
ant to outer pipe on every twist-lock
joint.
TERMINATION
1)
Maintain the 1-1/4" clearances (air spaces)
to combustibles when passing through ceil-
ings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic
rafter, or other nearby combustible
surfaces. Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Check pages 17-19
for the maximum vertical rise of the
fl ueing system and the maximum
horizontal offset limitations.
2)
Set the gas appliance in its desired
location. Drop a plumb bob down
from the ceiling to the position of
in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the
fl ue will penetrate the roof. Determine if ceil-
ing joists, roof rafters or other framing will
obstruct the fl ueing system. You may wish to
relocate the appliance or to offset, as shown
in Diagram 2 to avoid cutting
load bearing members.
3)
A F i r e s t o p
spacer must be
installed in the
fl oor or ceiling
of every level.
To install the
Firestop spacer
in a fl at ceiling or wall, cut a 10 inch square
hole. Frame the hole as shown in Diagram
3 and install the fi restop.
4)
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow con-
nections are in the fully twist-locked position
and sealed.
5)
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of suffi cient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles of 1-1/4". Slip the fl ashing
under the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the fl ashing) as per Diagram 4.
6)
Continue to assemble pipe lengths.

Diagram 4: The upper half of the fl ashing is
installed under the roofi ng material and not
nailed down until the chimney is installed. This
allows for small adjustments.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic
to avoid obstructions, it is important
to support the fl ue pipe every 3 feet,
to avoid excessive stress on the el-
bows, and possible separation. Wall
straps are available for this purpose
(Diagram 2).
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roof-
line due to its higher corrosion resistance.
Continue to add pipe sections through the
fl ashing until the height of the fl ue cap meets
the minimum height requirements specifi ed
in Diagram 5 or local codes. Note that for
steep roof pitches, the vertical height must
be increased. A poor draft, or down drafting
the appliance fl ue exit, and
mark the location where
the fl ue will penetrate the
ceiling. Drill a small hole
at his point. Next, drop a
plumb bob from the roof to
the hole previously drilled

pipe to the fl ue termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 942) over the fl ue pipe.
8)
Slide the appliance and fl ue assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the fl ue
pipe into the fl ue cap assembly. It is important
that the fl ue pipe extends into the fl ue cap
suffi cient distance so as to result in a mini-
mum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Secure
the connection between the fl ue pipe and
the fl ue cap by attaching the two sheet metal
strips extending from the fl ue cap assembly
into the outer wall of the fl ue pipe. Use the
two sheet metal screws provided to connect
the strips to the pipe section. See Diagram
4.
9)
Install wall thimble in the center of the 10"
square and attach with wood screws (Dia-
gram 5).
