Planning your Installation...

1. For vertical gas stoves installations, measure the height from the stove outlet to the ceiling to determine the length of black pipe required. Select a ceiling support/wall thimble cover or a cathedral ceiling support box.

2. To determine the length of galvanized pipe require, measure the ceiling thickness and the vertical rise in an attic or second story. Firestops are required at each floor level beyond the first floor ceiling suppot/ wall thinmble cover or cathedral ceiling support box. If an offset is required to avoid obstructions, use a pair of 45° elbows. For proper support, use elbow straps with offsets. Use wall straps for long vertical runs. Attic Insulation Shield is required in attic.

3. Measure the roof pitch. Select the proper flashing and storm collar. Determine the minimum height above the roof.

4. for horizontal installations, check the appliance manufature's instructions for minimum rise and maximum horizontal run. A snorkal termination may be used if height restrictions prevent adequate rise above the appliance. Select the appropriate Horizontal Termination Cap. To protect vinyl siding, select vinyl siding standoff. Check appliance manufacturer's instructions for wall thimble and firestop requirements.
