English.......Page 1 Francais.....Page 5 Espanol......Page 8 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS 1. Install and secure the vertical vent, gas vent or metal chimney according to manufacturer's instructions or in accordance with NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas code or applicable local codes. The termination of the vertical vent or metal chimney MUST be installed in accordance with the height and roof pitch table (See Figure 1 or Table 1 or refer to NFPA 54 for requirements). These minimum heights may be used if the vertical gas vent is not less than 8 feet from any vertical wall. For other installations, the termination shall be not less than 2 feet above the highest point where the vertical vent passes through the roof and at least 2 feet higher than any portion of a building within 10 feet.

The vent termination MUST be at least 4 feet from or 1 foot above any window or opening into the building. 3. The Starkap™ is sized to the same diameter as the vent inside diameter (Example: 3" vent uses a SK-3 Starkap™). Page 2 Page 3 INSTALLATION 1. Before installation, apply two beads of high temperature silicone sealant or equivalent around the bottom of the storm collar and 1 inch above the end of the Starkap™ body. (See Figure 2) 2. Insert the Starkap™ into the inside of the vent termination pipe, making sure the Starkap™ is seated against the storm collar. Fasten the Starkap™ to the vent termination pipe by using three (3) sheet metal screws. Placement of the screws should be approximately 1/2 inch from the end of the vent termination pipe. (See Figure 3) The heads of the screws should be covered with high temperature. Figure 2 Figure 3 SPECIAL VENTING APPLICATION INSTALLATION SHEET This sheet covers the requirements for installation of the Starkap™ for use with attached buildings designed for the purpose of housing heating equipment outside of the living space of the structure. These requirements are based on A.G.A. test reports C-FT-5-90, C-FT-8-90, FT-C-12-93 AND FT-C-13-93. See Figure 4 and 5. 1. The maximum gas heating appliance (or multiple appliances ) up to 250,000 BTU/HR input. 2. Each appliance in the building MUST have its own separate vertical vent and Starkap™. 3. The connecting wall between the attached building and the main structure MUST be sealed to prevent flow into the main structure. Example: Attached garages must be sealed by lining ceiling and any wall adjacent to the living space with 1/2" thick gypsum board or equivalent. Openings from an attached garage directly into a room used for sleeping purposes shall not be permitted. Other openings between the garage and residence shall be equipped with either solid wood doors not less than 1-3/8" in thickness or 20-minute fire-rated doors, or equivalent. 4. Two make up/combustion air openings into the outside building shall be installed. Size of the openings shall be 10 inch by 10 inch or based on 1 sq. inch per 4000 BTU/HR. 5. Termination location shall have a 4 ft. 9 in. center line distance from any vertical wall up to 250,000 BTU/HR. Termination location for up to 40,000 BTU/HR water heaters shall be a minimum 1 ft. 6 in. center line distance from any vertical wall. A minimum height of 12 inches shall be maintained above the roof. 6. The vent termination shall be located at least 4 feet from any window or opening into the main building structure.

Installer et fixer l’event vertical, l’event a gaz ou la cheminee en metal conformement aux instructions du fabricant, au code national des gaz combustibles NFPA 54 ou a tout code local applicable. Le bout d’un event vertical ou d’une cheminee en metal DOIT etre installe conformement au tableau de hauteur et de pente de toit (Voir Le Schema 1 ou le TABLEAU 1, ou se reporter a la NFPA 54 pour les exigences). Ces hauteurs minimales peuvent etre utilisees sir l’event a gaz vertical n’est pas a moins de 8 pi d’une paroi verticale quelconque. Pour d’autres installations, le bout ne doit pas etre a moins de 2 pi au-dessus du point le plus eleve ou l’event vertical passe a travers le toit et a au moins 2 pi au-dessus de toute partie d’un batiment se trouvant a dix pieds ou moins de distance.
