Installation steps:
1. A suitable hole for the chimney is opened into the rubber
collar as follows:
• Cut a knife mark into the front of the ripping tab at the
correct spot for the chimney’s external diameter:
• Pull by the ripping tab to remove a piece that leaves a
smaller hole than needed.
• Stretch the rain collar carefully over the chimney mantle.

The rain collar is glued to the roof (using, for instance, Wurth or
Sikaflex glue/sealing compound or an equivalent product). The
roof must be completely dry before you glue the chimney root’s
sealing into place. It is not enough that the surface feels dry. It
must be internally dry, as well. The glue manufacturer’s instruc-
tions regarding temperatures must also be accounted for.
2. Check that the rain collar settles evenly on the roof accord-
ing to its incline. On a tile roof, the collar is pressed against
the roof to make it bend into the correct shape and installed
by at least 50 mm underneath the upper tile and by the
same amount on top of the lower tile.
3. Make sure it does not overlap the lower tile’s border and cut
it to size, if necessary.
4. Glue the parts of the rain collar that contact the roof into
place with glue/sealing compound.
5. The rubber’s upper end is sealed against the chimney with a
clip (included in the package).
3.1. CHIMNEY SWEEPING
Make sure that the chimney is swept regularly and check it
visually at least once a year. The lifespan of the chimney is most
affected by the material burned in the furnace and the way it is
burned.
3.2. CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
Good chimney maintenance includes regular check-ups at suf-
ficiently frequent intervals, i.e. monthly, and, if needed, with the
help of the chimney sweeper. If the chimney has been unused
for a long period, make sure before you use it that it is in good
condition and not blocked (for instance by a bird nest).
A Kastor Chimney Set should be swept with a stainless and
acid-proof or nylon brush.
