Installation Notes

• Pipe and firestops: the pipe, elbows, ceiling firestops and supports below the roof are sold separately.
• Roof opening: the roof hole depends on the pitch; keep 1" between the vertical pipe and all combustible material. Frame the hole with lumber the size of the rafters. The flashing must be anchored to the frame to stand up to high winds, and the storm collar goes over the joint, sealed with non-hardening sealant.
• Height above the roof: the manuals set the minimum height from the roof to the lowest opening of the cap by roof pitch: 12" up to 6/12, 15" to 7/12, 18" to 8/12, 24" to 16/12 and 36" to 21/12. Raise it in high wind, near trees or next to taller roof lines if draft is poor.
• Installation: must be installed by a qualified installer following the fireplace manual and local codes. In Massachusetts, gas work must be done by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
