Field-fabricated spacers (1/2 in./13 mm tall, 24 ga/.024 in. galvanized steel) must be used to support the chase top flashing or chase pan, in order to provide air flow.

14 in. (345 mm) DuraChimney II pipe must extend at least 6 in. (152 mm) above the chase pan/flashing.

A DuraChimney II cap must be used inside the shroud.

The shroud must not be in direct contact with any of the DuraChimney II components (other than the chase top flashing).

All open areas of the shroud must be covered with 1/2 in. (13 mm) stainless or galvanized steel mesh screen to prevent debris from entering the shroud.

Shrouds must follow the dimensional requirements specified in Tables 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3, depending on the syle of shroud used. The three basic shroud styles are a) House, b) Arch or Mailbox, and 3) Pyramid. Most factory- fabricated shrouds will fall under one of these basic style categories.

B. House Style Shroud

The house-style shroud is roughly square or rectangu- lar with a closed top and exhaust openings on four sides (Figure 10.2). Table 10.1 lists the minimum shroud d9imen- sions, the minimum open area per side, and the minimum total open area for the shroud.
