5. Assembling the Chimney Vent

This section covers the steps necessary to assemble

the Hired Hand 24” and 36” Chimney vent.

Instruction for installing the vent into the building

roof can be found in Section 6.

5.1 Unpack the Parts and Assemblies

Verify with the shipping invoice that all parts are

present.

5.2 Assemble the Chamber

1. Align the four Side Panel Assemblies as shown in

Figure 1. NOTE: All of the Side Panel Assemblies

are identical, but they need to be identified (labeled)

now for ease of installing additional assemblies.

2. For ease when inserting the Baffle, first connect the

Front and Left sides together. Then connect the

Right and Rear panels together. For the 4 foot tall

vent use (4) ¼ x 1-3/4 inch bolts, (4) ¼ metal

washers and (4) ¼ inch lock nuts on each aluminum

corner channel. For the 10 foot tall vent use (8) ¼ x

1-3/4 inch bolts, (8) ¼ metal washers and (8) ¼

inch lock nuts on each aluminum corner channel. Place the lock nuts to the inside of the chamber.

Install, but do not tighten, the bottom screws in the Chamber. These bolts will be removed in a later

step. NOTE: Tighten other lock nuts securely, but do not distort the extruded channels or foam panels.

3. Slide the two assembled sections together. If a Vent Extension is not used, insert the pivot pins of the

Baffle into the predrilled pivot holes in the Left and Right side panels. If a Vent Extension is used, the

Baffle will be installed in a later step in the Vent Extension.

4. Bolt the two side panel assemblies together. For the 4 foot tall vent use (4) ¼ x 1-¾ inch bolts, (4) ¼

metal washers and (4) ¼ inch lock nuts on each aluminum corner channel. For the 10 foot tall vent use

(8) ¼ x 1-¾ inch bolts, (8) ¼ metal washers and (8) ¼ inch lock nuts on each aluminum corner

channel. Install, but do not tighten, the bottom screws in the Chamber. These bolts will be removed in

a later step.

5. If the Baffle was installed, install a Baffle stop bolt. See Section 5.3. Otherwise proceed to Section

5.4.

5.3 Install a Baffle Stop Bolt

Locate the predrilled hole in the center of the Front Side panels as identified in Figure 1. Drill the hole

completely through the panel. Insert a ¼ x 2-½" bolt through the center hole from the outside. Use ¼"

washers and ¼" lock nut as shown in Figure 2. Verify that the Baffle can rotate freely and is stopped

by the Baffle Stop Bolt.

5.4 Attach Canopy Support Brackets

1. Locate the four Canopy Support Brackets and install to the

outside angle brackets of the assembled chamber as shown

in Figure 3. Use (2) ¼ x 1 inch bolts, (2) ¼ inch washers

and (2) ¼ inch lock nuts in each bracket. The Canopy

Support Brackets also provide stability to the Chamber, so

after they are installed, verify that the Baffle still rotates

freely (if a Baffle was installed as in Section 5.2).

2. If a Vent Extension is used, continue to Section 5.5. If an

Extension is not used, proceed to Section 5.7.

5.5 Assemble the Chimney Extension (if required)

1. Align the four extension panels a shown in Figure 4.

2. Drill a ¼ inch hole through the foam using the

top, middle and bottom hole in each of the four

aluminum angle brackets.

3. For ease when inserting the Baffle, first connect

the Front and Left sides together. Then connect

the Right and Rear panels together. Use (4) ¼ x

1-3/4 inch bolts, (4) ¼ metal washers and (4) ¼

inch lock nuts on each aluminum corner channel.

Place the lock nuts to the inside of the chamber.

Install, but do not tighten, the bottom bolts in the

Extension. These bolts will be removed in a later

step. NOTE: Tighten the other lock nuts

securely, but do not distort the extruded channels

or foam panels.

4. Slide the two assembled sections together. Insert

the pivot pins of the Baffle into the predrilled

pivot holes in the Left and Right side panels.

5. Install the Baffle Stop Bolt. This is a ¼ x 2-½"

bolt through the center hole in Front Panel. Refer back to Section 5.3.

6. Bolt the extension together using (4) ¼ x 1-½ inch bolts, (4) ¼ inch washers and (4) ¼ inch lock nuts

in the middle and bottom holes.

7. Do not tighten the top bolts in at this time. They will be removed when the Extension is added to the

Chamber.

8. Do not tighten the bottom bolts at this time. They will be removed later to install additional

hardware.

5.6 Attach Extension Brackets

1. See Figure 5. Locate the four Extension

Brackets. Bolt the extension brackets to

the chamber using the predrilled holes.

The upper bolts go into the Chamber.

Attach with (8) ¼ x 1-½ inch bolts, (8)

washers and (8) and ¼ inch lock nuts.

2. Set the chamber on the Extension and bolt

the lower eight holes with the remaining

(8) ¼ x 1-½ inch bolts, (8) washers and (8)

¼ inch lock nuts.

3. Do not tighten the bottom bolts of the

Extension at this time. They will be

removed later to install additional

hardware.

4. Verify that the Baffle can rotate freely after

bolting the Extension together.

5.7 Attach Pulley Bracket Assembly

1. Locate the Pullet Bracket Assembly. This

assembly must be located parallel to the

axis of rotation of the Baffle. See Figure 6.

Bolt the pulley bracket assembly to the

bottom of the chamber (or the Extension if

used). Use the (2) ¼ x 1-¾ inch and (2) ¼

inch lock washers that were placed in the

bottom holes of the Chamber/Extension in

an earlier step.

5.8 Attach Wire Guard (Bird Screen)

Note the orientation of the flanges on the Wire

Guard. See Figure 6. They are perpendicular to

the Pulley Bracket Assembly. Recess the Wire

Guard inside the Chamber/Extension. Place the

Screen Brackets over the flanges and attach with

the bottom bolts in the Chamber/Extension. Use

(2)¼ x 1-¾ inch bolts and (2) ¼ inch lock nuts in

each Screen Bracket.

5.9 Attach Winter Door

1. The Winter Door must be placed on the

opposite side from the Pulley Bracket

Assembly. See Figure 6. For ease of

installation, slide the door from the hinge

channel. See Figure 7. Then position the

hinge and channel on the inside of the

Chamber/Extension. Bolt using existing

hardware at each corner of the door. Slide the

Door into place after installing the hinge

bracket and channel.

5.10 Attach Cables to the Baffle

1. Referring to Figure 8, run the

Baffle Cables with and without

the spring down through the

Pulley Bracket Assembly.

2. Run the Door cable up and

around the Pulley Bracket

Assembly. See Section 8 for

cabling and pulley installation.

6. Installing the

Chimney Vent in the Roof

This section covers the

necessary steps to install the

Chimney Vent into the roof of

the confinement building.

Assembly steps in Section 5

should be completed before

proceeding with Section 6.

6.1 Install the Chamber

1. See Figure 9. Construct a

framed opening in the roof that

is 26.5 inches (67.31 cm) by

26.5 inches (67.31 cm) for the

2 foot Vent. For the 3 foot Vent the

opening should be 38.5 inches (97.79 cm)

by 38.5 inches (97.79 cm).

2. Hoist the chamber up through the opening until

the top of the chamber extends 18 inches (45.7

cm) above the roof. See Figure 9.

3. Connect the chamber to the framed opening

using lag bolts that go through the

aluminum angle brackets at the corners of

the chamber. Drill appropriate pilot holes

for the lag bolts through the angle bracket

and foam.

6.2 Attach Flashing

See Figure 10. Attach the two Ridge

Mount Flashing sections. Attach the two

Side Mount Flashing sections.

Additional caulking may be required

depending on local requirements.

6.3 Attach Canopy to Chamber

See Figure 11. Place the

Canopy over the Support

Brackets and align the Canopy

evenly on the Support

Brackets. For the 24 inch

canopy, mark the location of

the eight holes in the Support

Brackets on the Canopy. Drill

a 3/8 inch hole for the

mounting hardware.

The 36 inch canopy has the

mounting holes predrilled.

Line up the mounting holes in

the Canopy and bolt the

Canopy to the Canopy Support

Brackets on the chamber using

(8) 5/16 x 1 inch bolts, (8) 5/16

whiz nuts and (8) fender

washers. The washers and the

heads of the bolts go on the

outside of the Canopy.

7. Operation of the Chimney Vent

The linear actuator should be adjusted

so the tension on the cable and spring

assembly uses no more than half of the

spring travel when the vent is closed

completely. See Section 8.

8. Actuator Cabling

The following shows one example of a method to open and close the Chimney Vent Baffle and Door. The

Linear actuator is connected to a rod running the length of the structure. The rod is connected to a spring

which is in turn fastened to the end wall. When the linear actuator operates, the rod is pulled to the left in

the example below hence opening the baffles. When the actuator reverses, the spring force closes the

baffles.

The door cable can be fastened to a cable tie on the wall beneath each Chimney Vent.
