INSTALLING FLASHING AND STORM COLLAR

Remove the nails from the shingles above and to the sides of
the chimney. Place the fl ashing over the chimney pipe and slide
underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the
chimney pipe is properly centered within the fl ashing, giving a 3/4"
margin all around. Fasten to the roof on the top and sides. DO NOT
NAIL through the lower portion of the fl ashing. Make weather-tight
by sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top
edges of the fl ashing with roofi ng material. Apply waterproof caulking,
provided with the fl ashing, around the chimney, 1" above the top of
the fl ashing and push the storm collar down into the caulking. Insert a
rain cap onto the top of the last chimney section.

TYPICAL EXISTING MASONRY

The appliance may be connected
to either a lined or unlined masonry
chimney.
IF THE CHIMNEY IS LINED:
The fl ues must be made of vitrifi ed
clay and be in sizes of 8" square or
8" round (inside diameters) or
8"x12" with a minimum height of 15
feet above the appliance.
Eight inch round fl ues are
recommended.
Installation must conform to
both national and local code
requirements.
IF THE CHIMNEY IS UNLINED:
A stainless steel liner listed to
either Standard ULC-S640M in Canada or UL-1777 in the USA,
must be used: Liners for New Masonry Chimneys, may be
used to connect the appliance to the chimney. The liner must
be continuous from the appliance to the chimney cap and be
installed only per manufacturers instructions.
In both cases, the chimney structure must be supported by angle
iron anchored into the masonry walls. The allowable masonry
used in chimney construction is 3-1/2" brick, solidly mortared and
must fully encase the fl ue. Ensure there are no leaks.
In no case is the masonry enclosure to be supported by the
appliance. Allow a 1" (one inch) air cavity for expansion. Use the fl ue tile support accessory, see your local
authorized dealer / distributor.
NOTE: The fl ue tile support is to be suspended on appropriate lintels.
