ing chart. Slide flashing over pipe until base is
flat against roof. Replace as many shingles as
needed to cover exposed area and flashing
base. Secure in position by nailing through
shingles (see Figure 15). DO NOT NAIL

Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof
When installing flashing on a metal roof, it
is required that putty tape be used between
flashing and roof. The flashing must be se-
cured to roof using #8 x 3/4" screws and then
sealed with roof coating to prevent leakage
through screw holes. A roof coating must also
be applied around the perimeter of flashing to
provide a proper seal.
Storm Collar Installation (SC1 or SC2)
Place storm collar over pipe and slide down
until it is snug against open edge of flashing
(see Figure 16). Use SC1 for all round ter-
minations and SC2 for all terminations with
slip sections.
Note: Storm collar is required but can be
installed after home is sited.

Terminations/Spark Arrestor
The fireplace system must be terminated with
the listed round top termination. In any case,
refer to installation instructions supplied with
termination. The terminations approved for
this fireplace are RT-8DM and RTL-8DM.
Figure 17, shows an RTL-8DM round top
termination.
IMPORTANT: Terminations are required but
can be installed once manufactured house
is sited.
CAUTION: Do not seal open-
ings on the rooftop flashing. Fol-
low the installation instructions
provided with the termination
being used.
Terminations with 16" slip pipe sections are
available. The RTT-8DM and RTTL-8DM are
approved for flashing installations. When
needed, these adjustable terminations may be
used in combination with the pipe assembly to
achieve the correct chimney height.
Note: In the rare instance there is a problem
with side driven rain or wind or chimney is
not drafting properly, an ADS-8DM Anti Draft
Shield can be used with round terminations.
