building authorities or local weather office). Locate
vent termination in such a way that it cannot be
blocked by snow.
A vent used in a special venting system with positive
vent pressure and passing through a roof shall extend at
least 18 in. (450 mm) above the highest point where it
passes through the roof and any other obstruction within
a horizontal distance of 18 in. (450 mm).
The special vent system shall not be routed into, through,
or within any other vent such as an existing masonry or
factory-built chimney.
IMPORTANT
A masonry chimney flue may be used to route the venting
system only if no other appliance is vented in the same flue.

Flashing and storm collar installation

Flashings and storm collars are field supplied. Flashings
and storm collars suitable for Type B vent materials (or
better) may be used.
To obtain flashings and storm collars, please contact
your local vent material supplier. Follow the installation
instructions supplied by the special venting manufacturer.
Follow local codes to properly isolate the exhaust vent
pipe when passing through floors, ceiling and roof.
Always check the marking on the pipe to make sure you
