EXTERIOR INSTALLATION
ROOF SUPPORT (RS)
The Roof Support has three possible uses:
It may be used to support a chimney from the
roof. It adjusts to any roof pitch.
It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof above
an offset to support the chimney above the
offset.
It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof as
a supplementary support when the chimney
height exceeds that of the primary support.
(See maximum length height supported,
page 3).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
With the chimney extending through the opening in
the roof, ceiling or floor proceed as follows (Refer
to Figure 17 for visual references):
Step 1. (USA ONLY) Install the roof radiation shields
in the roof joists. These shields consist of four
metal plates. Nail one plate to each side of the
joist using (2) 2-1/2" nails.
Step 2. Assemble the Roof Support's Collar to fit
your chimney diameter. Continue to assemble
the support as described in the instructions
supplied with the support.
Step 3. Slip the assembled Roof Support down over
the stainless steel chimney until its brackets
rest on the roof or floor. Tighten the collar
around the chimney, (see Figure 16).
Step 4. Center the chimney and nail or screw the
support to the roof or floor using (8) - 2-1/2"
nails or (8) Nº. 8 - 1-1/4" wood screws. (Fig-
ure 16).
Step 5. Install the remaining chimney lengths, until
the required chimney height is reached.
