B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its flue system. Vertical flues that
run on the outside of a building may be, but are not re-
quired to be, installed inside a chase.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build-
ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require-
ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST
be checked.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out-
side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-
lems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fire-
stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced in-

required if attic shield is used.
• Frame opening for attic shield.
• Attic shield may be installed above or
below ceiling (see Figure 6.4).
• Secure with three fasteners on each
side.
• Fold tabs at top of attic shield in toward
flue pipe. Tabs must keep flue pipe cen-
tered within shield.
• Field construct additional shield height if
insulation is deeper than height of attic
shield.

8 Installing Flue Pipe
Figure 8.1 Adding Flue Components
Install Support Brackets
ForHorizontal Runs- Theflue systemmust besupported
every 1.5 meters of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe
support.
To install support brackets for horizontal runs:
• Place the pipe supports around the flue pipe.
• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.
For Vertical Runs - The flue system must be supported
every 2.4 meters above the appliance flue outlet by wall
brackets. To install support brackets for vertical runs:
• Attach wall brackets to the flue pipe and secure the wall
bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.
Attach the First Flue Component to Starting Collars
To attach the first flue component to the starting collars
of the appliance:
• Lock the flue components into place by sliding the
concentric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced
interior beads into the appliance collar or previously
installed component end with four (4) equally spaced
indented sections.
• Whenthe internalbeads ofeach outerpipe lineup, rotate
the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter (1/4) turn
(see Figure 8.1). The flue pipe is now locked together.
• Slide the ceramic rope ring over the firstflue section and
place it flush to the appliance. This will prevent cold air
infiltration. High temp caulk may be used to hold the part
in place. Continue to add flue components.
Continue Adding Flue Components
• Continue adding flue components, locking each
succeeding component into place.
• Ensurethat eachsucceedingfluecomponentis securely
fitted and locked into the preceding component.
• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an
elbow does not end up in a locked position with the
preceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2)
sheet metal screws.

B. Installing Firestops and Horizontal Termination Cap
DoNOTconnectapipesectiontoaterminationcapwithoutusing
the telescoping flue section found on the termination cap.
NOTE: Where required, an exterior wall flashing is available.
When penetrating a brick wall, a brick extension kit is avail-
able for framing the brick.
Installing the Horizontal Termination Cap
Flue termination must not be recessed in the wall. Siding
may be brought to the edge of the cap base.

on both sides of a combustible wall through which the flue
passes.
NOTE: Model SLK-01TRD does not need an exterior
wall shield firestop on an exterior combustible wall as
the shield is built into this termination cap assembly.
To install wall shield firestops for horizontal runs that pass
through either interior or exterior walls:
Cut a 25.4 cm x 25.4 cm hole for SL-D-series pipe. The
center of the framing hole is 2.54 cm above the center of
the horizontal flue pipe.
• Position the wall shield firestops on both sides of the
hole previously cut and secure the wall shield firestops
with nails or screws.
• The heat shields of the wall shield firestops MUST BE
placed towards the top of the hole.
• Continue the flue run through the wall shield firestops.
