The RF24 is approved for Vertical Co-Linear Termination Only. Two

3" diameter liners are required from top to bottom. The vent liners must

be connected to the proper collars (intake and exhaust) or the unit will

not operate properly. The method of ﬂ ashing will depend on whether

the liners are installed into a rectangular masonry or round factory-built

solid-fuel burning chimney. It is important to seal the gap at the top

of the chimney in either case to avoid convective air loss up the

chimney. The integrity of the air-cooled function of factory-built chimney

systems must be maintained when installing terminations. Termination

of the chimney may need to be completed after the RF24 ﬁ rebox is

installed and the slack vent liner pulled up—see Section Firebox

Installation.

Existing Square Chimneys

559CLT Co-Linear Terminal and 559SFK Square Flashing Kit are

recommended—see list of approved venting accessories on page 27.

Cut ﬂ ashing kit to size. Allow extra around perimeter for drip edge to

be formed on site. Seal ﬂ ashing to top of chimney using sealant (not

supplied). Fasten terminal to ﬂ ashing using sheet metal screws as

shown.

Existing Round Factory-Built Chimneys

The 559CLT terminal is designed to ﬁ t existing 7" or 8" diameter factory-

built round chimneys without requiring additional ﬂ ashing. Ensure the

installation of the terminal seals off the top of the chimney space to

avoid convective air loss. The diagrams below show a typical terminal

installation for an 8" diameter air-cooled chimney system.
