Step 8. The standard Superior roof flashing
assemblies include a storm collar. Slide storm
collar over outer chimney, align with top sur-
face of flashing, insert tab in slot, pull tight and
bend tab back over slot. Seal storm collar to
outer chimney with roof caulking or mastic
around entire circumference of pipe. Also add
extra roof caulking to the tab/slot area to seal
completely against water penetration ( Figure
31 ). Check all joints very carefully to ensure no
water intrusion can take place.
Locking Band
Figure 31
Step 9. Superior locking bands, Model LB, may
be required if the chimney extends too high
above the roof flashing. As a general rule, if the
chimney extends more than 6' (1.8 m) above
the roof flashing, the use of locking bands is
advisable to strengthen the chimney assembly.
Align the locking band at the chimney joint.
Locking bands wrap around pipe joints equally
covering the joints of both pipe sections. Use
nut provided and TIGHTEN snugly. Do not over-
tighten as this might damage chimney section
( Figure 31 )
Note: If chimney extends more than 8' (2.4 m)
above roof surface, guy wires are also recom-
mended. Use three (3) guy wires, attach to
locking band assembly, extend and secure to
roof in a triangular pattern (Figure 32 ). Guy
wires are not supplied by Superior.

Step 10. Using the TF10-CTDTM Round
Termination:
1. Hold CTDTM over top of last chimney section
( Figure 33 ).
2. Center inner slip section in inner flue pipe-
slip down.
3. Center outer locking section over outer flue
pipe. Push down until locking tabs are firmly
engaged.
4. Pull up slightly on CTDTM to ensure locking
Mastic
joint has firmly engaged.

Note: It is recommended that all exterior ex-
posed related metal fireplace components; such
as terminations, flashings, storm collars and/
or flue be painted with a premium-quality, high-
temperature, rust-preventative paint designed
for metal. This is especially important when
installations are made in abnormally adverse or
corrosive environments; such as near lakes,
oceans or in areas with consistently high-hu-
midity conditions. Consult the paint manufac-
turers instructions for proper preparation and
application.

For Canadian installations, all chimney installed
outside the building must be galvalume (outer
sections only), effective January 1, 1992. The
appropriate model designations (with a "C"
suffix) are located in the back of this manual.
TEN-FOOT RULE SUMMARY
The minimum chimney height above the roof
and/or to adjacent walls and buildings is speci-
fied by all major building codes.
If the horizontal distance from the peak of the
roof is less then 10' (3 m), the top of the
chimney must be at least 2' (610 mm) above
the peak of the roof.
If the horizontal distance from the chimney
edge to the peak of the roof is more than 10'
(3 m), a chimney height reference point is
established on the roof surface 10' (3 m) hori-
zontally from the chimney edge. The top of the
chimney must be at least 2' (610 mm) above
this reference point. In all cases, the chimney
cannot be less than 3' (914 mm) above the roof
at the edge of the chimney.
The 2' in 10' rule is necessary in the interest of
safety, but does not ensure smoke-free opera-
tion. Trees, buildings, adjoining roof lines, ad-
verse wind conditions, etc., may require a taller
chimney should the fireplace not draft properly
( Figure 36 ).
MULTIPLE TERMINATIONS
If more than one termination is located in the
same chase or within the same general proxim-
ity, we suggest they should be separated in
distance at least 24" (610 mm) horizontally
from flue center to flue center and stacked or
staggered vertically at least 18" (457 mm) apart,
from the termination of one smoke exit to the
termination of another smoke exit ( Figure 35 ).

This suggestion is provided in the interest of
better operation. If the terminations are located
too close to each other, smoke may migrate
from one flue into the other.
