appropriate firestop. When you reach the desired height, install the roof
support. (Refer to instructions included with the support.

and the flashing with roofing pitch (see figures 24). For sloping roofs, place
the flashing under the upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles. Nail
the flashing to the roof, using roofing nails.
6. Place the storm collar over the flashing, and tighten it with the bolt
supplied. Finally, seal the joint between the storm collar and the chimney,
using silicone caulking.
