adjoining rooflines, steep pitched

roofs, and other similar factors can

result in poor draft, or down drafting.

In these cases, increasing the vent

height or switching to the High Wind

Termination Cap may help to solve the

problem.

Step 9. Slip the Storm Collar over

the Pipe Section, and push it down to

the top of the Roof Flashing (Fig. 18).

Use non-hardening sealant between

the Storm Collar and the Pipe Section.

Step 10. Holding the bottom of the

Termination Cap only, twist lock

the cap onto the last Pipe Section

protruding above the roofline.

Notes:

(1) For multi-story vertical

installations, a Ceiling Firestop is

required at the second floor, and any

subsequent floors (Fig. 19). Refer

to Table 1, page 8. Cut and frame a

square opening for installation of the

Ceiling Firestop.

(2) If Vent passes through any

occupied areas above the first floor,

including closets and storage spaces,

it must be enclosed. The enclosure

may be framed and sheetrocked with

standard construction materials, but

required clearances to combustibles

must be maintained. Consult the

appliance manufacturer’s installation

instructions for the minimum allowable

clearance between the outside of

the vent pipe, and the combustible

surfaces of the enclosure. Do not fill

required air spaces with insulation.

(3) If venting system passes through

an attic space the Attic Insulation

Shield or a chase enclosure must be

installed to prevent contact between
