Vacu-Stack Mesh Screen Installation Instructions

Step 1: Note the Spacers. The three spacers located on the underside of the TDW Air Cooled Vacu-Stack chimney cap maintain ventilation space between the bottom of the Vacu-Stack and top of the chimney. This is essential for uninterrupted air flow through cooling channels in air-cooled chimneys.

Step 2: Fitting the Vacu-Stack inside the flue. Vacu-Stack chimney caps fit inside round metal and masonry flues. Press the pipe end of the Vacu-Stack into the flue until fit is snug.

Step 3: Applying a Watertight Seal. Apply a thin layer of silicone caulking to seal joint between Vacu-Stack and top of chimney. The chimney silicone is an optional add-on for this product. If you are installing on rectangle or square flues, please visit the masonry adapter page.
