Diagram 3: The upper half of the flashing is installed
under the roofing material and not nailed down
until the chimney is installed. This allows for small
adjustments.

UNIT INSTALLATION WITH
VERTICAL TERMINATION
4" X 6-5/8"
(
102MM X 175MM)
FLUEING
(Rigid Flue Systems)
1)
Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances (air spaces) to
combustibles when passing through ceilings,
walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter, or other
nearby combustible surfaces. Do not pack
air spaces with insulation. Check "Flueing"
Sections for the maximum vertical rise of the
flueing system and the maximum horizontal
offset limitations.
2)
Set the gas appliance in its
desired location. Drop a plumb
bob down from the ceiling to the
position of the appliance flue exit,
and mark the location where the
flue will penetrate the ceiling. Drill
a small hole at this point. Next,
drop a plumb bob from the roof
to the hole previously drilled in
the ceiling, and mark the spot
where the flue will penetrate
the roof.
3)
A Firestop spacer must
be installed in the floor or
ceiling of every level. To
install the Firestop spacer in a flat ceiling or
wall, cut a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole
as shown in Diagram 2 and install the firestop.
NOTE:
For best results and optimum perfor-
mance with each approved flueing system, it is
highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac” sealant
(supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure
to do so may result in drafting or performance
issues not covered under warranty. Silicone (red
RTV) is optional.
4)
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow connections
are in the fully twist-locked position and sealed.
5)
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole
should be of sufficient size to meet the minimum
requirements for clearance to combustibles
of 1-1/2". Slip the flashing under the shingles
(shingles should overlap half the flashing) as
per Diagram 3.
6)
Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic to
avoid obstructions, it is important to
support the flue pipe every 3 feet, to
avoid excessive stress on the elbows,
and possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofline
due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue
to add pipe sections through the flashing until the
height of the flue cap meets the minimum height
requirements specified in Dia. 4 or local codes.
Note that for steep roof pitches, the vertical
height must be increased. A poor draft, or down
drafting can result from high wind conditions
near big trees or adjoining roof lines, in these
cases, increasing the flue height may solve the
problem.
7)
Ensure flue is vertical and secure the base of
the flashing to the roof with roofing rails, slide
storm collar over the pipe section and seal with
a mastic.
8)
Install the vertical termination cap by twist-
locking it.
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which the
flue passes through must be enclosed.

Note: All vertical terminations are flued
using 4" x 6-5/8" flueing and rigid pipe
adaptor #510-994.
