seeping into the chase.
• Include a 2 in. (51 mm) soldered, welded or spun collar
around pipe opening to keep water out.
• Provide a 1/8 in. (3 mm) gap around the flue pipe.
• Slope the chase top downward away from the opening.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT caulk the pipe to the
chase top collar.

D. Install Termination Cap
Install the chimney sections up through the chase enclo-

•
Caulk the overlap seam of any exposed pipe sections
that are located above the roof line to prevent leaks.

Refer to termination cap instructions.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! The minimum overlap of cap
to pipe (as shown in the following illustrations) MUST
be met or chimney may separate from cap. Separation
allows sparks, heat and embers to escape.
NOTICE: Paint the termination cap with a rust-resistant
paint to protect against the effects of corrosion on those
parts exposed to the weather.
