SPARK ARRESTER (SA)
Use a spark arrester if you have a shingle roof or live in a forested
area. If the chimney is used for venting a gas appliance, use a
spark arrester to keep birds out.
For 6" to 8" diameters a pre-formed spark Arrester is available.
1. Place the pre-formed Spark Arrester directly over the dome and
skirt of the Round Top (Figure 40).
2. Ensure the flanged end of the Spark Arrester is on top of the
dome and the bottom folded edge overlaps the skirt.
ROUND TOP (RTS)
1. Place RTS Top over an installed chimney Length so that the
three legs slide down over the outside of the chimney (see Figure
36.
2. Press down evenly on the lower skirt so that the skirt seats
tightly on the upper edge of the chimney Length (see Figure 37).
3. Be sure the RTS Top is level. Place the Cinch Band over the
Length and all legs so that the Cinch Band rests evenly on the
turned-out flanges (see Figure 38).
4. Firmly tighten the Cinch Band with screw and nut provided
(Figure 39). To remove the RTS Top, simply loosen the Cinch
Band and slide RTS Top off the Length.

NOTE: Do periodic inspection of all fasteners including the hose
clamps as high winds can cause the chimney system above the
roof to vibrate and in time loosen some of the fasteners.
Spark
Arrester
If clogged:
If the Sp
ark Arrester becomes clogged with creosote, it should be
cleaned or replaced. Remove Round Top by removing cinch band.
Lightly tap away (from the outside of the Spark Arrester) any creosote
residue. If necessary use a soft bristle brush for assistance. If
Spark Arrester is to be removed from the Round Top, release the
bottom edge of the Spark Arrester from the skirt edge and raise
Spark Arrester from Round Top.
