STEP 4: Remove the shingles around the opening measured and cut
out this section.
STEP 5: Add the next sections of the pipe until the end penetrates the
roofline. Check to see that proper clearances are maintained. Extend
chimney by adding sections of double wall pipe until pipe has reached
a minimum of 30 inches above highest point of roof cutout. Termina-
tion and chimney must extend a minimum of 36 inches above highest
point where it passes through the roof. (See 10' Rule, Figure 12).
TERMINATIONS
The firebox and chimney system must be vented to the out-of-doors
and must be terminated with the listed round top or chase termina-
tions. If a chase termination is desired, refer to the instructions
supplied with the termination.
FOR ROUND TOP TERMINATION
STEP 1: Slide the flashing over the pipe (No firestop is needed at the
roof level). Tack the flashing down at the top two corners with roofing
nails. Lay tile over the top and sides of the flashing and secure them
to the roof through the flashing with the roof nails. Lay tiles under the
lower edge and secure these to the roof. Mastic all nail heads.
STEP 2: Install storm collar (VSC1-20-8DM, VSC2-20-8DM) on double
wall chimney, apply waterproof caulking around flashing top and push
storm collar down securely on sealer and flashing (see Figure 13).
STEP 3: Place the VRTL-8DM TERMINATION into the pipe end
as illustrated in Figure 13 and secure with screws provided.
10 FOOT RULE
All chimney terminations must extend a minimum of 3 feet in height
above the highest point where it passes through the roof and must be
at least 2 feet above the peak of the roof if within a horizontal distance
of 10 feet from the peak (see Figure 12).

IMPORTANT: If an exposed portion of chimney is greater than 5
feet above the roof line, use support wires to keep chimney secured.
The support wires may be attached to the outer pipe of the chimney
with screws, provided the screws are not long enough to penetrate the
inner flue pipe.
CAUTION: Do not seal ventilation openings on the
rooftop flashing. Follow the installation instructions
provided with the termination being used.
A gas line may be installed for the purpose of installing a gas appliance
available through your local distributor. Use only
1
/
2
" black iron pipe
and appropriate fittings. When installing a gas line, a shut-off valve
designed for installation outside the firebox is recommended.
The gas pipe is intended for connection to an unvented gas log set or
to a decorative gas appliance.
If you will install an unvented gas log set, ONLY UNVENTED GAS
LOG SETS WHICH HAVE BEEN FOUND TO COMPLY WITH
THE STANDARD FOR UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS, ANS/IAS/
AGA Z21.11.2, ARE TO BE INSTALLED IN THIS FIREPLACE.
NOTE: An appropriate Vanguard hood must be installed when
using an unvented gas log set.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE AN UNVENTED GAS
LOG SET IN THIS FIREPLACE WITH THE CHIMNEY
REMOVED.
If you will install a decorative gas appliance, the decorative gas
appliance must comply with the Standard for Decorative Gas
Appliances for Installation in solid Fuel burning Fireplaces,
ANS Z21.60-1996 and shall also be installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas code, ANS Z223.1-1996.
WARNING: WHEN USING A DECORATIVE APPLIANCE,
THE DAMPER MUST BE REMOVED OR PERMANENTLY
LOCKED IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION.
To install the gas line, remove the gas line plug located in the side
firebrick approx. 2 inches above the bottom. The plug must be tapped
out from the finished side towards the unfinished side (see Figure
14). Insert the gas line parallel to the face. Fill any gap between the
gas line and the hole in the firebrick with refractory cement or
commercial furnace cement (see Figure 15).
