7. If additional lengths of flex liner are needed to span
the chimney height, use a flex coupler to connect the
pieces of flex liner together. Connect the flex to the
coupler by using four sheet metal screws for each side
(Figure 5.27).
8. Secure the top adapter to the flashing. Use three sheet
metal screws through the side of the top adapter into
the flange on the flashing (Figure 5.28). Twist lock the
high wind termination cap on to the top adapter.

• Do not let the fl ex liner sag below the level
at which it will connect to the appliance
or connector. This could allow hot gas to
become trapped and potentially become a
fi re hazard. The fl ex liner path should always
be sloped up toward the termination cap.
WARNING
4. To determine the length of flex needed, measure from
3 in. (76 mm) above the top of the flashing down to the
level of the opening. Add the distance from the center
of the chimney out through the wall. Cut a piece of 4
in. (102 mm) flex to this length (extended to its nominal
length). Be sure to leave 2-3 in. (51-76 mm) of flex
above the existing chimney to allow for connection to
the termination kit.
5. Connect the flex liner to the top adapter using four
sheet metal screws (Figure 5.21).
6. Feed the flex liner through the flashing into the
chimney. Carefully feed the flex liner down the chimney
to the bottom and out the opening in the masonry wall,
forming an angle to line up the flex liner with the vent
opening on the appliance.

3. Secure the flashing to the top of the masonry chimney
using a bead of non-hardening sealant-adhesive. If the
flashing is larger than the top of the chimney, cut and
fold flashing as needed to fit chimney (Figure 5.26).
