11. (See FIGURE BELOW) The vent kits include a trimable flashing. Measure, trim and shape flash-
ing to fit the existing flue liner. This flashing prevents water and small animals from entering area be-
tween the chimney liner and flue liner. Plan for 1” to 1-1/2” (25 mm to 38 mm) overlap on each side.
Center the flashing and mark it about 3" (75 mm) larger in each dimension than the existing chimney.
Trim the notch with snips and bend edges with hand seaming tool, metal break or pliers. Apply high
temperature silicone sealer or millpack to the male ring before slipping cap onto male ring. Attach cap
to flashing adapter ring with three self tapping screws.

to avoid being cut and to safeguard eyes from flying debris.
