always follow the chimney manufacturers instructions.

NOTE: Type of chimney: Class A All-Fuel also referred to as Low-Heat appliance type chimney per Uniform Mechanical Code:

Chimney, low-heat appliance type is a factory built, masonry or metal chimney suitable for removing the products of combustion from fuel-burning low-heat

appliances producing combustion gases not

in excess

of 1000°F under normal operating

conditions but capable

of producing combustion

gases of 1400°F during

 

intermittent

forced firing for periods up to one hour.

All

temperatures are measured at the appliance flue outlet.

7.The chimney should be relatively straight and vertical.

8.The portion of an all-fuel metal chimney that extends above the roof should be well secured.

9.A masonry chimney should be built on footings and not attached to the house.

10.A rain cap, complete with an animal or bird screen, should be installed on top of the chimney.

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumu-

lated,

it should be removed to reduce the risk of a

 

 

chimney fire.
