INSTALLATION

CHIMNEY HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS

A masonry chimney or a factory-built chimney must be the required height above the roof and any other nearby obstructions. The chimney must be at least three feet higher than the highest point where it passes through the roof and at least two feet higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within ten feet of the chimney, measured horizontally. See Figure 6. These

are safety requirements and are not meant to assure proper flue draft.

We recommend using a minimum total system height of 12' (365.7 cm), not including the chimney cap, measured from the stove flue collar to the top of the chimney.
