For Vertical Terminations - To locate the flue and
install the flue sections:
• Locate and mark the flue centerpoint on the
underside of the roof, and drive a nail through the
centerpoint.
• Make the outline of the roof hole around the
centerpoint nail.
• The size of the roof hole framing dimensions
depend on the pitch of the roof. There MUST BE
a 25.4 mm clearance from the vertical flue pipe to
combustible materials.
• Mark the roof hole accordingly.

through the roof hole (for inside flue installations)
or up past the roof line until you reach the appro-
priate distance above the roof (for outside termi-
nations).
