•Mark the Exit Point of the Roof

Locate the point where the chimney will exit the roof by plumbing down to the center of the chimney. Drive a nail up through the roof to mark the center. See Figure 26.1.

• Cut Out the Hole in the Roof

Measure to either side of the nail and mark the 14‑1/2 in. x 14-1/2 in. (368 mm x 368 mm) opening required. This is measured on the horizontal; actual length may be larg- er depending on the pitch of the roof. Cut out and frame the opening. See Chapter 25 of the Uniform Building Code for roof framing details.
