Cut and Frame Roof Hole
Size of roof hole varies with the type of chimney termi-
nation installed. Refer to installation instructions pro-
vided with the chimney termination to find correct size
roof hole.
There must be a 2" (51 mm) air space between out-
ermost portion of chimney sections and any adjacent
combustible surfaces. (Combustible surfaces include
burnable materials such as: ceiling members, joists,
flooring, combustible insulation and roof structures.)
WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES
WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
Mark an outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint
of the nail.
NOTE:
Hole dimensions given in the chim-
ney top installation instructions are
horizontal
dimen-
sions; therefore, the hole size must be marked on the
roof accordingly.
Cover the opening of the installed chimney so debris
cannot get into the system.
Cut and frame the hole. It is good practice to use fram-
ing lumber that is the same size as the rafters. Install
the frame securely because the chimney top and flash-
ing anchored to the frame must be able to withstand
heavy winds.
Install Remainder of Chimney Sections
Since you have already preplanned the height of your
termination according to the
Ten Foot Rule
, continue to
install pipe to the predetermined height.
Check the chimney top installation instructions for
details on how high above the roof top the chimney sec-
tions (all pipes) should extend.
Installing Top Housing or Termination
Follow the installation instructions provided with the
chimney termination you have selected.
