the floor and ceiling holes and table 2 (page 28) for the roof holes.

chimneys, place the first
chimney length on the fireplace. To lock it in place, turn _ of a turn clockwise. With the
ACBI chimney, you must use a starter section before installing the first chimney length
(figure 30). Continue installing chimney lengths making sure to lock each length in place.
3. Every time the chimney passes through a ceiling or a wall, install the appropriate firestop.
When you reach the desired height, install the roof support. (Refer to instructions included
with the support). For an ACBI chimney use an universal support AC10SU.
4. Put the roof flashing in place and seal the joint between the roof and the flashing with
roofing pitch. (see figures 31 & 32). 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.
5. 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.
6. Install the chimney cap.
