Finishing
The DVP-FBHT cap may be stained or painted. The cap is
subject to high temperatures and stain is preferred over paint.
Laxtex paints may be used, but light colored paints may
discolor slightly. A water-based stain is recommended for
maximum life.
CAUTION
Risk of Water Intrusion or Impaired Performance
• Do NOT use exterior finishing materials thicker than
1-1/2 inch cap base.
• The flashing bend at bottom of metal backplate MUST be
on top of exterior finishing material for proper drainage.
• Maintain 1-1/2 inch minimum overlap on telescoping
flue section and wall shield firestop when adjusting for
wall thickness.
If the firebrick section of the cap is going to be left off until
after the structure’s exterior is finished, do NOT place exterior
finishing materials over the metal backplate. Only the top 1
inch of the metal backplate can be covered with finishing
material (see Figure 1).
CAUTION
Water Damage Risk
The flashing bends on the bottom of the metal backplate
MUST be clearly on top of the exterior for proper drainage.
Caulk the outer sides and top of the cap. Do not caulk the
bottom edge with the flashing bends on it.
CAUTION
Potential Risk of Damage to Finish
• Do NOT expose this cap to acid.
• Remove the firebrick section of the cap if using acid
to clean surrounding masonry.
