Chase Top; Install The Termination Cap - Heat & Glo EXCLAIM-42 Owner's Manual

B. Chase Top
A metal chase top is required to seal the top of the chase
around the chimney pipe. The top should include a turn-

chase. Provide a 1/8 in. (3 mm) gap around the fl ue pipe
and slope the top downward away from the penetration. See
Figure 6.4.
• All seams must be caulked to prevent leaks.
• A chase installation must use a chase top. Chase tops
are available from your Heatilator dealer or may be fi eld
constructed.
• Attach the chase top to the top of the chase.
