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 the side driven rain or wind or the chim-

ney is not drafting properly, an ADS-8DM

(Anti-Draft Shield) can be used with round

terminations.

CHASE INSTALLATIONS

Instructions for chase installations are

included with the chase style termination

chosen. In a multiple chase installation, be

sure to provide adequate distance between

terminations to prevent smoke spillage from

one termination to another. We suggest that

terminations be separated at least 24", center

to center and stacked at a vertical height dif-

ference of 18" (see Figure 16).
Note: If a decorative shroud is to be installed,

contact the manufacturer for specifications.

10 FOOT RULE

All flue gas outlet chimney terminations must

extend a minimum of 3 feet in height above the

highest point where it passes through the roof

and must be at least 2 feet above the high-

est point of the roof that is within a horizontal

distance of 10 feet (see Figure 17).

FINISHING FIREPLACE

Combustible materials, such as wallboard,

gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,

etc. may make direct contact with sides and top

around the fireplace face. It is important that

combustible materials do not overlap the face

itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncombustible

materials may overlap the front face provided

they do not obstruct essential openings like

louvered slots or any other opening. When

overlapping with a noncombustible facing

material, use only noncombustible mortar or

adhesive.
