Termination Location and Vent Information

A. Venting Termination Design
The chimney top must be capped to
prevent rain and/or snow from entering
the chimney.
See Figure 4.8, for information on the
optional Harman® Adjustable Stainless
Steel Intake Extension.
The damper area must be sealed with a
steel plate and it is recommended that
Kaowoll, mineral wool, or an equivalent
non-combustible insulation be placed
on top of the sealed area to reduce the
possibility of condensation. Insulation
alone should not be used to seal the
damper opening. For quick and easy
installation, purchase the steel Harman
Block Off Plate, 1-00-25625.
