WARNING
Fire Risk
•
The minimum overlap of cap to pipe
MUST be met or chimney may separate
from cap.
Separation allows sparks, heat and embers
to escape.

enclosure. When using a TR444 Round Termination
Cap, the uppermost top section of pipe must extend 6 in.
(152 mm) above the top of the fl ashing collar to allow
installation of the storm collar and termination cap. See
Figure 6.5.
Minimum 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap of cap over pipe
