NOTE:
When installing in a chase, you should insulate the
chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This
is especially important in cold climates. Insulation should
be considered a combustible material. Maintain proper
clearances to all combustible materials.
VENTING INSTALLATION INFORMATION
INSTALLING A VENT SYSTEM IN AN
OUTSIDE CHASE
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose
venting that runs along the outside of a building. A chase
is required for such venting.

ARNING
Treatment of firestops and construction of
the chase may vary from building type to
building type. These instructions are not
substitutes for the requirements of local
building codes. You must follow all local
building codes.
W
ARNING
Always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum
clearances to combustibles for horizontal vent pipe are 2" at the top and 1" at
the sides and bottom of the vent system until the pipe penetrates the nearest
vertical wall. A 1" minimum clearance all around the pipe must be maintained.
Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This could
cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard.
