Support Box, loosely around Pipe Sections
running through hole in Support Box (Figure

overlaps the top edge of the Roof Flashing.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Have your system cleaned by a certified
chimney sweep if you have doubts about your
ability to clean it. Use a plastic or flexible steel
brush. Do not use a stiff brush that will scratch
the stainless steel liner of your system.
2. Vent systems must be installed so that
access is provided for inspection and cleaning.
3. The system should be inspected at least
once every month during the heating season.
4. Do not use chemical cleaners. They can
damage the vent pipe.
