the exposed sections, bend
the support straps outwards,
and push the elbow strap
down to the roof level, as
shown in Figure 15. Tighten
the clamp around the pipe
section. Use a level to make
sure the pipe is truly vertical.
With roong nails, secure the
support straps to the roof.
Seal the nails holes heads
with non-hardening mastic.
Trim the excess length of the
support straps that extend
out beyond the edge of the
ashing.
STEP 7. Slip the ashing over the pipe
section protruding through
the roof. Secure the base
of the ashing to the roof
with roong nails. Use a
non-hardening sealant between the uphill edge
of the ashing and the roof. Insure the roong
material overlaps the top edge of the ashing as
shown in Figure 15. Verify that you have at least
the minimum clearance to combustibles at the
roof line.
STEP 5. Cut hole in the roof centered on the small hole placed in the roof from Step 2. The hole should be of
sufcient size to meet minimum requirements for Clearance to Combustibles, as specied. Continue to
assemble lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling support box up through the roof
line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roof line. The galvanized
nish is desirable above the roof line, due to the higher corrosion resistance.
STEP 6. Once the pipe sections have been joined, and run up through the hole in the roof, slip an elbow strap over
