large enough to reach through and hold the Tee, while connecting the horizontal
Pipe Section. An alternate procedure is to make the hole only large enough for
the Pipe Section to pass through, and construct an access gate on the other side
of the masonry chimney. Do not mortar to the pipe..
(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). Termination Assembly. Trim the Base Plate of the Termination
Assembly to cover the masonry opening. Refer to Figures 28 and 29. Slip the
Base down over the protruding Pipe Section. If necessary, use masonry
anchors and non-hardening sealant to secure the Base to the masonry or bend
base to secure.
(g). Clamp. Pull the Pipe up
through the Base to the mark, which you
made previously. Slip the Clamp down
to the mark, and tighten it securely to the
Pipe. The Clamp will then support the
entire venting system. Slip the Storm
Collar down over the Pipe Section,
and seal the joint with a non-hardening
high temperature RTV.
(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
