CHIMNey Cap CHaSe INSTaLLaTION
The preinstalled chimney sections should be no more than
13 inches below the top of the chase. The installation
should be planned so that either a two-foot or three-foot
chimney section will be used for the top section. This is
necessary to ensure complete engagement of the inlet air
telescope and chimney cap into the top section.
1. Extend the chimney sections until the top of the
chimney is not more than 13 inches below the top of
the chase.
2. Center the hole in the chase cover over the chimney.
The chase cover overhang should be lanced, formed
over the chase and secured with nails. This prevents
water from seeping under the chase cover. If two or
more chase covers are to be used on the same chase,
they should be soldered together to form two watertight
seams.
3. Place the outer telescope inside the hole in the chase
cover and lower it down into the mating pipe of the
chimney until the support brackets on the telescope
section rest on the flange of the chase cover.
4. Bend the tab with a hole on each bracket outward and
secure the telescope to the flashing, using the tabs
provided.
5. Once the telescope is secured, place the rain shield
over the top of the telescope pipe assembly. The rain
shield will be supported by the telescope brackets.

CauTION: Be careful around electrical wires to avoid the
electrical shock hazard of contacting the wires with the
metal chimney components.
NOTe: When two fireplace chimneys are terminated above
the same chase, the centers of the chimney caps should
be at least 24 inches apart to help prevent smoke from a
fireplace in use from being drawn down the chimney of a
fireplace that is not in use. Additional spacing between
caps or staggering the height of the caps will further lessen
the likelihood of this occurring.
6. Place RLTCF11 cap assembly into position by aligning
the flue telescope into the last section of flue pipe and
lower it down until the 3 cap legs rest on the top edge
of the outer telescope pipe. Secure legs of cap to the
telescope with screws provided.
7. Check all parts of the chimney and chimney 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 and 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
galvanized primer paint.
