6.  Install the ceiling support cathedral ceiling support 
box assembly, as appropriate.
7.  Determine the distance from the appliance outlet to 
a point just above [approximately 12” (305 mm) to 24” 
(610 mm)] either the cathedral ceiling support box or 
the ceiling support plate and assemble lengths of pipe 
to satisfy this distance. Do not attach assembly to appli-
ance.
8.  Loosely position the support collar around the as-
sembled lengths (flared end down).
9.  From above, lower the assembled pipe sections 
down through the cathedral ceiling box or ceiling sup-
port plate and attach it to the appliance adapter. The 
support collar should then be adjusted so that when 
the assembled lengths of pipe are attached to the ap-
pliance, it rests on the bottom of the cathedral ceiling 
support box on top of the ceiling support plate.
10.  Tighten the tabs of the collar. Secure the sup-
port collar by inserting three (3) #8 x 1/4” sheet metal 
screws through the support collar and the outer wall of 
the pipe.
NOTE: If the cathedral ceiling support box assembly is 
being used, it may be necessary to temporarily connect 
the assembled pipe to the appliance. Determine and 
mark the location of where the support collar will be at-
tached to the pipe. Disconnect and remove assembled 
pipe. Attach the support collar per Step 10 (where 
marked) and reinstall assembly. This is due to limited 
space within the cathedral ceiling support box. Install 
any required offset supports.
11.  Add lengths of pipe and firestop as necessary 
until assembly extends to a point above the roof which 
complies with local code requirements for minimum ter-
mination height and with the appliance manufacturer’s 
installation instructions. (Fig. 47)

NOTE: Whenever DIRECT-TEMP penetrates through a 
ceiling, a floor or a wall, it must be firestopped.
12.  Using a level, make sure the system is perfectly 
vertical.
13.  Slide the flashing, suitable for the roof pitch, down 
over the pipe protruding through the roof. Recheck 
orientation and use a silicone sealant around and under 
the perimeter of the flashing where it is in contact with 
the roof. Secure the flashing with roofing nails. Finish 
roofing around the pipe, covering the sides and upper 
ares of the flashing base with roofing material. How-
ever, be sure the lower unnailed portion of the base 
covers the roofing material.
14.  Position the storm collar around the pipe and slide 
down until it is in contact with the flashing. Secure the 
storm collar by inserting the two (2) tabs into the raised 
slots and fold tabs back. Seal the area between the 
storm collar and the vent pipe with a silicone sealant to 
prevent rain infiltration.
15.  Install the vertical termination (VC) by inserting it 
down into the top most section of pipe until it is fully
