A poor draft, or down drafting can result
from high wind conditions near big trees
or adjoining roof lines, in these cases,
increasing the vent height may solve the
problem.
7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base
of the fl ashing to the roof with roofi ng 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 vent passes through must be
enclosed.

Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around
the liner must be maintained except
that only a 1" (25mm) clearance is
needed at the termination end. We
recommend framing a 10"(254mm) x
10"(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination
is not recessed into the siding.

Horizontal sections must be
supported at intervals not exceeding
3 feet (0.9 meter). (Flame picture and
