4. Put the roof flashing into place. Seal the joint
between the roof and the flashing with roofing tar
or an exterior sealant. For sloping roofs, place the
flashing under the upper shingles and on top of
the lower shingles. Secure the flashing to the roof
using roofing nails or roofing screws.
If the chimney is enclosed to the roof:
•
In
USA
: use a vented flashing;
•
In
Canada
: use a vented flashing, or a roof
radiation shield with a regular flashing.
WARNING: DO NOT BLOCK ANY OF THE
OPENINGS IN THE VENTED FLASHING WITH
SEALANT, CAULKING OR ANY OTHER
MATERIALS.
5. Place the storm collar over the chimney and
flashing. Place a bead of exterior sealant around
the chimney below the storm collar, pull the storm
collar through the sealant and seal it once again
on the top with the exterior sealant (
DO NOT use
roofing tar
).
6. Fit the rain cap on the chimney. Secure it tightly
in place.
