INSTALLING FLAShING AND STORM
COLLAR
Remove the nails from the shingles above and to the sides
of the chimney. Place the flashing over the chimney pipe and
slide underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles.
Ensure that the chimney pipe is properly centered within the
flashing, giving a 3/4" margin all around. Fasten to the roof on
the top and sides. dO NOT NAIl through the lower portion
of the flashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with caulking.
Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flashing
with roofing material. Apply waterproof caulking, provided with
the flashing, around the chimney, 1" above the top of the flash-
ing and push the storm collar down into the caulking. Insert
a rain cap onto the top of the last chimney section.
