(c). Tee. a Tee is installed at the bottom end

of the assembled vertical pipe Sections, as

shown in Figure 30. The Tee has a removable

Tee cap at the bottom, for cleaning and

condensate removal. If the configuration of the

building permits it, a clean-out access gate is

recommended.

(d). Vertical Pipe Sections. Run the

assembled vertical pipe Sections (with the Tee

attached to the bottom), down the chimney,

until the horizontal branch of the Tee is

opposite the hole in the masonry.

(e). Adjust Height. Hold the assembled pipe

Sections in this position, and make a mark

even with the top surface of the masonry

chimney. The vertical pipe Sections should

protrude 12 inches (in most cases) above this

mark. If the top of the pipe will be near a steep

roof (more than 7/12 pitch), use the height as

stated in Table 2.

(f). Flashing. Bend and trim the base of the

Tall cone Flashing so it fits onto the top of the

masonry chimney. use masonry anchors and

non-hardening sealant to secure the flashing to

the masonry (Figure 28).

(g). Storm Collar. Slide the Storm collar over

the pipe down to top of the Flashing. Secure

the Storm collar in place with at least (3)

1/4” sheet metal screws (Figure 29). Do not

penetrate the inner liner. The Storm collar and

Flashing will support the weight of the vent

assembly. use non-hardening sealant around

the top of Storm collar to make a weatherproof

seal.

(h). Horizontal Pipe Section(s). Run the

horizontal pipe Section(s) through the hole

in the masonry, and connect it firmly to the

Tee, either by reaching through the hole, and

holding the Tee while twisting the pipe Section,

or by holding the Tee through the access door

while someone twist-locks the pipe Section to

it. use an adjustable pipe Length as needed
