1. Chase Top
The chase top must have structural support under it to sup-
port the cap and to provide anchor points for the cap. See
Figure 2 for minimum dimensions. Attach the chase top. Pro-
ceed to Step 2.
• Fasten and seal the four ends of the angle.
• Fasten and seal the cap to the angle.
• Caulk all screws (or nails) in the chase top.
If you are unable to put supports under the chase top to sup-
port the cap (as shown in Figure 2), we suggest using two
pieces of aluminum angle (1/2 inch x 3/4 inch).
• Cut the pieces so the lengths equal the depth at the narrow
outside dimension of the chase. See Figure 3.
• Center the base of the termination cap over the chimney
(inside the chase) and slide the inner ue inside the inner
ue of the chimney and the outer section over the outside
of the chimney.
• Adjust the termination cap so the cap is square with the
chase and mark the position using the holes provided in
the feet as a guide.
• Drill through the chase top using a 1/8 inch diameter drill at
the marked locations. Securely attach the cap to the chase
using the screws provided in the fastener package.
• Assemble the top of the termination cap.
• Caulk all screws (or nails) in the chase top.

2. Install Chimney Sections and Cap (See Figure 4)
• Assemble the SL Series chimney sections to between
4-3/4 inches below the chase top and 2 inches above the
chase top.
• Remove the top of the Terra Cotta Cap.
• Install the cap on the chimney pipe so it rests on the chase
top.
• Slip the two pieces of aluminum angle (wide ange down)
under the bottom lip of the cap on two sides. The angle
can be fastened down at the ends of the chase. Make
sure the pieces are tight against and supporting the cap
before you fasten the ends.
