NOTE:
• Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofline
due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue
to add pipe sections throughout the flashing until
the height of the vent cap meets the minimum
height requirements specified in Fig. 5 or local
codes.
• For steep roof pitches, the vertical height must
be increased. A poor draft, or down drafting can
result in high wind conditions, trees or neighbor's
roof lines. In these cases increasing the height
may solve a drafting problem. REMEMBER to
check that you are within the maximum vertical
height restrictions, and are placing the appropri-
ate vent restrictors as outlined in the venting
chart within this manual.
• Any storage spaces or closets which the vent
must pass through must be enclosed.
