Model TLC All-Fuel Chimney - 5" to 8"
Deluxe Rain Cap (TLCC) & Spark Arrester (TLCSA)
The use of the Deluxe Rain Cap serves many functions. It
prevents the entry or rain, snow and debris into the chimney
opening. It minimizes the effect that wind and air turbulence
have on chimney draft and provides an aesthetically pleasing
termination for the chimney.
Place the Deluxe Rain Cap over the installed chimney and
twist in place by turning clockwise until snug.
Deluxe Rain Cap
Use a Spark Arrester if you have a shingle roof or live in a
forrested area. This will prevent the escape of sparks and
burning materials from the chimney.
ATTENTION: Sharp edges! Wear safety gloves when
handling spark Arrester!
Roll-up the Spark Arrester and insert into the bottom of the Deluxe
Rain Cap. Spread out the spark Arrester so that it is snug to the
interior and against the 4 brackets. Secure the Spark Arrester to the
brackets with wire (not supplied).
Burning wood and coal produces creosote, soot, and fly ash which
tend to collect in chimney flue and on termination parts causing
reduced flow of gases through the chimney. Check Rain Cap weekly
for excessive accumulation of these normal combustion products and
clean as necessary. If the Spark Arrester becomes clogged with
creosote, it should be cleaned or replaced.
Roof Guy (TLCRGK) Installation
If the chimney extends 5 feet or more above the roof deck,
roof guys are required. The roof guy kit, containing
telescopic legs and a draw band, is suitable fort this
application. The draw band must be clamped around the
chimney and the two legs lagged to the roof into the rafters
and not just the roof sheathing. Position the band
approximately two-thirds of the way up the chimney height.
The preferred location for the band is next to a chimney
joint, immediately above or below a locking band.
The two telescopic legs should form an angle of about 60°
to give support to the chimney in all directions. Kiip ends
equal distance from the chimney and, same elebation on
the high side of the sloped roof. Seal the roof with a suitable
non hardening, waterproof caulking. After the legs are
attiched to the chimney and band, tighten the clamps on the
legs to fix the position of the telescopic legs (see Fig 27). See
separate installation instructions packaged with the RGK.
