PENETRATING ROOF
To maintain a 1" clearance to pipe on a roof with
a pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.
1. Determine the center point through which
pipe will penetrate roof.
2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is the
distance the roof drops over a given span,
usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that the
roof drops 6" for each 12" one measure
horizontally down from roof rafters.
3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 22) to
determine correct opening length and
flashing required.
4. Remove shingles around opening mea-
sured. Cut out this section.
5. Add next sections of pipe until end
penetrates roof line. Check to see that
proper clearances are maintained. Extend
chimney by adding sections of double wall
pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above
highest point of roof cutout. Termination
and chimney must extend a minimum of
36" above highest point where it passes
through the roof (see
10-Foot Rule
and
Figure 20, page 9.

FLAShING INSTALLATION
Determine flashing to be used with roof open
-
ing chart. Slide flashing over pipe until base
is flat against roof. Replace as many shingles
as needed to cover exposed area and flashing
base. Secure in position by nailing through
shingles (see Figure 23).

STORM COLLAR INSTALLATION
Place storm collar over pipe and slide down
until it is snug against the open edge of the
flashing (see Figure 24). Apply waterproof
caulking to all seams and notches around
storm and also at base around shingles.

TERmINATIONS
The firebox system must be terminated with
the listed round top or chase terminations. In
any case, refer to the installation instructions
supplied with the termination.
Terminations approved for this fireplace are
VRTL-8DM and VRTTL-8DM, which can be
used for flashing or chase and VETO-8DM
and VETLO-8DM for chase style termination
only. Figure 25, page 11, shows a VRTL-8DM
round top termination.
CAUTION: Do not seal open

ings on rooftop flashing. Follow
installation instructions provided
with termination being used.
