4. Remove the shingles around the opening
measured. Cut out this section.
5. Add the next sections of the pipe until the
end penetrates the roof line. Check to see that
the proper clearances are maintained. Extend
chimney by adding sections of double wall
pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above the
highest point of the roof cutout. Termination
and chimney must extend a minimum of
36" above the highest point where it passes
through the roof.
FLASHING INSTALLATION (V6F-10DM
OR V12F-10DM)
Determine the flashing to be used with the roof
opening chart. Slide flashing over pipe until base
is flat against roof. Replace as many shingles as
needed to cover exposed area and flashing base.
Secure in position by nailing through shingles
(see Figure 13). DO NOT NAIL THROUGH
FLASHING CONE.
Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof
When installing the flashing on a metal roof, it is
required that putty tape be used between the flash-
ing and the roof. The flashing must be secured to
the roof using #8 x 3/4" screws and then sealed
with roof coating to prevent leakage through the
screw holes. A roof coating must also be applied
around the perimeter of the flashing to provide a
proper seal.
