8. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined sections
—Continue with the installation of the straight vent sections
in horizontal/inclined run. Install support straps every 5 ft (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent runs using
conventional plumber’s tape.
Rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to level. For best results, maintain the horizontal/inclined run in
a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane of approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m).
Maintain the required clearances to combustibles

10. Install the roof flashing
—Extend the vent sections through the roof structure. Install the roof flashing over the
vent section and position such that the vent column rises vertically (use carpenters level). Nail along perimeter to
secure flashing or adjust roofing to overlap the flashing edges at top and sides only and trim where necessary. Seal
the top and both sides of the flashing with waterproof caulking.
11. Install the storm collar
—Install the storm collar, supplied with the flashing, over the vent/flashing joint
(
Figure
21
)
. Loosen the storm collar screw. Slide collar down until it meets the top of the flashing. Tighten the adjusting
screw. Apply non-combustible caulking or mastic around the circumference of the joint to provide a water tight seal.

section.
If the vent system extends more than 5 ft (1.5 m) above the roof flashing, stabilizers may be necessary. Additional
screws may be used at section joints for added stability. Guide wires or roof support assemblies may be attached
to the joint for additional support on multiple joint configurations.
