CHIMNEY OFFSET INSTALLATION
1. Extend the regular chimney sections until the top of
the chimney is 4" below the total flue height desired.
Do not snap the last section of inlet air duct or largest
diameter pipe in place until Step 3 is completed.
2. Remove the shingles from around the chimney so that
the flashing may be installed, with the upper part of the
flashing under the shingles.
3. Set the flashing on the roof. Hold a section of the out-
side pipe (13" diameter) on the flashing and scribe a
line around the flashing, then cut the top off the flashing
by cutting 1/4 inch below the scribed line. This should
increase the diameter of the flashing outlet sufficiently
to allow the flashing to be placed over the chimney.

NOTE: RLTCF11L chimney cap is same
as RLTCF11 with the exception of a
longer telescoping pipe which may be
needed for special installations such as
chase installations.
4. Snap the last section of inlet air duct in place and slide
the flashing over the chimney. Adjust the chimney to
assure that the proper minimum clearances are main-
tained.
5. Nail the flashing securely in place with eight nails.
6. Seal the crack between the top of the flashing and the
chimney with mastic. Leave some excess mastic at
this area to be used in step eight. NOTE: Use pliers
and wear gloves when performing step seven to mini-
mize the danger of cutting your hands on the edge of
the storm collar.
7. Place the storm collar around the chimney and put the
collar together like a belt in belt loops. Slide the end
of collar under the two loops on the other end with the
loops facing up. Overlap the ends of the collar until
it is tight against the chimney. Bend the free end of
the collar back over the loops to hold the storm collar
securely together. The excess end of the storm collar
may be trimmed off.
8. Slide the storm collar down snugly against the flashing
until the excess mastic left in step six is forced up into
the crack between the storm collar and the chimney.
This should make the joint between the flashing and
the chimney watertight.

9. Install the chimney cap by placing the cap into match-
ing parts of the last chimney section. Then punch or
drill 1/8 inch diameter holes in the inlet air duct (chim-
ney pipe) where specified on the brackets and fasten
it down with the No. 8 screws provided. Do not pen-
etrate the inner stainless steel pipe while installing the
screws.
10.Check all the parts of the fireplace, chimney and chim-
ney termination cap to assure that no parts have been
damaged or bent during installation and that all parts
have been installed properly.
NOTE: The metal used for the chimney cap has a rust
protective coating but the cut edges of the parts are not
protected. To prevent rusting and rust staining of nearby
structures, exposed parts of the chimney and chimney
cap should be detergent washed and painted with a gal-
vanized primer paint.
