UNIVERSAL ROOF GUY KIT (JURGK-1)
If the chimney extends 5 ft. (1600 mm) or more above the roof deck, roof
guys are required. The Roof Guy Kit will provide lateral support to the
chimney above the roof line. The kit contains Telescoping Legs, Support
band, Roof Angle Brackets and hardware package.
The Roof Guy Kit accommodates most models of chimneys with outer
diameters ranging from 7" through 13".

Support Band (2 Halves)
NOTE:
Different holes combination can be selected as required.
To Install:
A. Measure the outside (OD) diameter of your chimney.
B. From the single row of holes (see Figures 28 and 29), select the hole in
each half that corresponds to the outside diameter identified with the
chimney being installed. Place the two halves together. Insert an
elevator bolt through the chosen holes (Ex - for a 10” OD chimney, place
the elevator bolt through the holes identified for 10” OD). The elevator
bolt should be oriented as shown in Figure 30. Secure the center bolt with
washers and 1/4” flanged nut (see Figure 30). NOTE: On smaller
diameter chimneys the excess band material can be cut off.

Assembly of Support Band:
C. Form the band into a circle (see Figure 31) and loosely connect tabs
using the supplied 2” bolt into the cage nut located on one of the two
formed tabs.
D. Select the hole in each half that corresponds to the OD of the chimney.
Insert an elevator bolt in each of the holes (1 per side).
E. Position the Support Band approximately two thirds of the way up the
chimney height (see Figure 35). The preferred location is next to a
joint, immediately above or below a Locking Band. Secure Support
Band by tightening the 2” bolt. NOTE: Only one chimney joint should
be above a Roof Guy Kit. An additional Roof Brace Kit may be
required for taller systems.

F. Assemble the telescoping legs by sliding the supplied hose clamp over
larger diameter leg and then inserting smaller diameter leg into larger
diameter leg. Temporarily hold legs together by tightening the hose
clamp over the cut section of larger diameter leg (see Figure 32).
Repeat for the other telescoping leg assembly.
G. Place a flat washer on the elevator bolts and attach the angled end of each
of the telescoping legs to the 2 elevator bolts on the Support Band with
washer and nut (see Figure 33).
