4. Pull up slightly on CTD to ensure locking joint
has firmly engaged.
Note: It is recommended that all exterior
exposed metal fireplace components; such
as terminations, flashings, storm collars and/
or flue be painted with a premium quality,
high temperature, rust preventative paint
designed for metal. This is especially impor-
tant when installations are made in abnor-
mally adverse or corrosive environments;
such as near lakes, oceans or in areas with
consistently high humidity conditions. Con-
sult the paint manufacturers instructions for
proper preparation and application.
Using an FTF8/FTF10-CTDT Chase Termination:
Refer to specific installation instructions in-
cluded with the FTF8/FTF10-CTDT chase termi-
nation for clearance and installation details.
Using an FTF8FTF10-CT1 Chase Termination:
Refer to specific installation instructions in-
cluded with FTF8/FTF10-CT1 chase termina-
tions for clearance and installation details.

Step 9. Security Chimneys locking bands, Model
FLB, may be required if the chimney extends too
high above the roof flashing. As a general rule, if
the chimney extends more than 6' above the roof
flashing, the use of locking bands is advisable to
strengthen the chimney assembly. Align the lock-
ing band at the chimney joint. Locking bands wrap
around pipe joints equally covering the joints of
both pipe sections. Use the nut provided and
TIGHTEN snugly. Do not overtighten as this might
damage the chimney section (
refer to Figure 29
).
Note: If chimney extends more than 8' above
roof surface, guy wires are also recommended.
Use three (3) guy wires, attach to locking band
assembly, extend and secure to roof in a trian-
gular pattern (Figure 29 ). Guy wires are not
supplied by the manufacturer.

Step 10. Using an FTF8/FTF10-CTD Round
Termination:
1. Hold the FTF8/FTF10-CTD over top of last
chimney section (

).
2. Center inner slip section in inner flue pipe-
slip down.
3. Center outer locking section over outer flue
pipe. Push down until locking tabs are firmly
engaged.

TEN FOOT RULE SUMMARY
The minimum chimney height above the roof
and/or to adjacent walls and buildings is speci-
fied by all major building codes.
If the horizontal distance from the peak of the
roof is less then 10', the top of the chimney
must be at least 2' above the peak of the roof.
If the horizontal distance from the chimney
edge to the peak of the roof is more than 10' a
chimney height reference point is established
on the roof surface 10' horizontally from the
chimney edge. The top of the chimney must be
at least 2' above this reference point. In all
cases, the chimney cannot be less then 3'
above the roof at the edge of the chimney.
The 2' in 10' rule is necessary in the interest of
safety but does not ensure smoke-free opera-
tion. Trees, buildings, adjoining roof lines,
adverse wind conditions, etc., may require a
taller chimney should the fireplace not draft
properly (
Figure 31
).
MULTIPLE TERMINATIONS
If more than one termination is located in the
same chase or within the same general prox-
imity, we suggest they should be separated in
distance at least 24" horizontally from flue
center to flue center and stacked or staggered
vertically at least 18" apart, from the termina-
tion of one smoke exit to the termination of
another smoke exit (
see Figure 32
).
