second hole for the air intake pipe (see
Appendix D: Combustion Air Supply).
3. Attach a section of pipe and clean out
tee to the exhaust, making sure the
clean out tee is centered in the chimney
flue area.
4. Install a vented flashing at the top of the
fireplace chimney. Stainless steel plate
and screws are recommended. Cut a
hole for the vent pipe. If needed, cut a
second hole for the air intake pipe. Seal
all joints with
waterproof silicone sealant to prevent
water leakage.
