How to Install a Dura-Vent Through the Roof Chimney Kit

Plan your installation before beginning. Set the appliance in its intended location and try to position the flue collar so the stove pipe can run between ceiling joists. You may need to use flex piping to penetrate the roof and avoid rafters and obstructions.

Connect stove pipe sections to the flue collar, ensuring they match the flue collar exactly.

Determine the location where the piping will penetrate the ceiling between the joists. Drill a starter hole and use a jigsaw to cut out a square hole based on the size of the ceiling support box.

Mount the ceiling support box in the hole and secure in place with screws, allowing it to hang down 3 inches.

Cut holes through any additional ceilings as needed to extend the chimney up to the roof. At each additional floor, you must install firestop radiation shields with screws. This protects the frame of your home if a fire occurs. Mount an attic insulation shield in the attic to protect insulation from combusting, if it is present.

Cut a hole in the roof of your home, using a drill and jigsaw. Review the specific manufacturer or code clearance guidelines for required clearances between the pipe and combustible roofing. In many cases, you should allow 2 inches on all sides. Based on these clearance requirements, cut the hole for passing the chimney pipe through.

Extend the chimney pipe sections so they extend at least 3 feet above the roof line.

Install roof flashing around the exposed pipe by carefully prying up the shingles and sliding the flashing in place. Hammer roofing nails into the shingles to secure and create a watertight seal.

Place a storm collar around the exposed chimney pipe and fasten with bolts.

Secure a chimney cap on the top of the chimney with screws.
