Radiation Shield; Rain Cap Base - ICC EXCEL Installation And Maintenance Instructions Manual

RADIATION SHIELD (ERS & ERSA)
The radiation shield must be
used when
passes through a floor, or
when it is installed in a attic.
See illustrations page 9. The
radiation shield is designed to
adjust for a variety of attic
heights. Always adjust the
radiation shield to be as high
as the attic will allow, even if
the additional height is not
required to provide shielding
from insulation.
reduce the chance that loose
fill insulation will come in
contact with
if additional insulation is added
in the future. To adjust the radiation shield simply slide the top tube up as
high as possible then screw the two sections together with the self drilling
screws provided. When the radiation shield is installed in the attic, a
universal storm collar (ESC) must be used. This will prevent the infiltration
of insulation between chimney and radiation shield.
RAIN CAP BASE (ERCB)
The rain cap base is used to seal off the end of the chimney where it is
installed without a rain cap. In some Northern areas the use of a rain cap is
either not permitted or discouraged. Excel chimneys do not have end caps
so the ends of the chimney are open to the weather unless they are
protected by a rain cap or rain cap base. Under no circumstances can
the end of an Excel chimney be left unprotected. If it is necessary for the
rain cap to be removed, a rain cap base must be installed.
