chimney will pass. At the attic level, install an attic radiation shield from above. (Figures 23 & 24). For Secure TempASHT+ / Nova TempHT6103+ and Secure TempS2100+ / Nova TempHT6000+ chimneys, place the first chimney length on the fireplace. To lock it in place, turn Âź of a turn clockwise. With the AC chimney, you must use a starter section before installing the first chimney length (figure 25). Continue installing chimney lengths making sure to lock each length in place. Every time the chimney passes through a ceiling or a wall, install the appropriate fire stop. When you reach the desired height, install the roof support. (Refer to instructions included with the support). Then, put the roof flashing in place and seal the joint between the roof and the flashing with roofing pitch. (See figures 26 & 27). For sloping roofs, place the flashing under the upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles. Nail the flashing to the roof, using roofing nails. Place the storm collar over the flashing, and tighten it with the bolt supplied. Finally, seal the joint between the storm collar and the chimney, using silicone caulking. Install the chimney cap.
