Remove the extension. We have found that when the Vent Stack Charcoal Filtration Device is placed over an extension, the whole extension and device assembly act as a “sail” in the wind. The assembly will begin to oscillate in the wind. This could potentially damage your rooftop vent flashing and create a leak in your roof.
