GUYING AND BRACING

1. Proper guying and bracing is essential for part of the vent that extends
above the roof or parapet wall. The vent at this point is subject to wind
conditions and needs special attention for proper stabilization. See Figure 6.
2. If the vent above the roof does not exceed dimension H, no special
guying or bracing is required. However, to protect the flashing from lateral
movement, a guide must be installed at the roof level. See Figure 6.
3. For vent height above the roof that needs guying or bracing, a support, a
small length and a expansion length must be installed near the roof level to
absorb the thermal expansion and minimize this effect on the guy wire or
brace.
4. When using guy wire, the cable must be slightly slack or loose to allow
thermal expansion.
5. When using rigid bracing, the maximum vertical height between supports
must be reduced to 5' to compensate thermal expansion.
