C.  Connect Pipe Adapter or Increaser Adapter 

to stove:  Due to the variety of different stove 

collars, the Pipe Adapter will need high-

temperature non-hardening sealant in order to 

achieve a leak-free connection. .

D.  Connect Pipe Sections.  Attach Secure 

Pellet Pipe Sections by pushing male and 

female ends of pipe together and twisting until 

pipe is in locked position (Figure 4).  Pipe 

sections do not require any sealant; however 

in certain instances high temp silicone sealant 

may be used. Seal connection where the 

inner liners overlap for best results (Figure 5). 

Screws are not needed, but 1/4” screws can 

be used if desired, however, be sure you do 

not penetrate the inner liner.

E. When the pipe passes through the Ceiling 

Support Firestop Spacer at ceiling, tighten 

bolt and clamp around pipe. Where the vent 

passes through additional floors and ceilings, 

always install a Ceiling Support Firestop 

Spacer.

F.  ALWAYS MAINTAIN AT LEAST 1” 

CLEARANCE FROM COMBUSTIBLE 

MATERIALS TO THE VENT PIPE.  

G.  When the Vent enters the attic, install an 

Attic Insulation Shield around the vent (Figure 

6).  This will prevent insulation and debris 

from collecting near the vent pipe.  Use (4) 

nails or wood screws to secure the base of the 

Attic Insulation Shield to the framed opening.  

Adjust the height of the Attic Insulation Shield 

by sliding the top cylindrical shield over the 

one from the base.  Ensure that the top of the 

Shield is above the level of building insulation.  

Secure the Shield in place with at least two 

(2) sheet metal screws through the side of the 

cylindrical shield.  Attach collar around pipe, 

then lower to the top of the Attic Insulation 

shield.

H.  After lining up for the hole in roof, using 

the same method as 2. (B), cut either a round 

or square hole in the roof (Figure 7).  Always 

cut the hole with the proper clearance to the 

vent pipe.  Install the upper edge and sides 

of Flashing under the roofing materials and 

nail to the roof along the upper edge and 

sides (Figure 8).  Do not nail across the lower 

edge. Seal all nail heads with non-hardening 

waterproof sealant.

I.  To finish, apply non-hardening waterproof 

sealant where the Storm Collar will meet the 

vent and Flashing; slide Storm Collar down 

until it rests upon the Roof Flashing (Figure 9). 

Holding the base of Cap, firmly twist lock your 

Vertical Termination Cap onto supported Pipe 

Section protruding through the roof line.
