A. Chimney Requirements
Vertical distances are measured from the base of the fire- place as shown in Figure 8.2
Minimum overall straight height | 13 ft | 3.96 m |
Minimum height with single offset/ | 14.5 ft | 4.42 m |
return |
|
|
Double offset/return minimum height | 20 ft | 6.1 m |
Maximum height | 50 ft | 15.24 m |
Maximum chimney length between an | 20 ft | 6.1 m |
offset and return |
|
|
Maximum distance between chimney | 35 ft | 10.67 m |
stabilizers |
|
|
Maximum unsupported chimney | 6 ft | 1.83 m |
length between the offset and return |
|
|
Maximum unsupported chimney | 35 ft | 10.67 m |
height above the fireplace |
|
|
Maximum unsupported chimney | 6 ft | 1.83 m |
above roof |
|
|
NOTICE: A maximum of two pairs of offsets and returns may be used.
Warning! Risk of Fire! You must maintain 2 in. (51
mm)air space clearance to insulation and other combus- tible materials around the chimney system. Failure to do so may cause overheating and fire.
NOTICE: You must provide support for the pipe during construction and check to be sure inadvertent loading has not dislodged the chimney section from the fireplace or at any chimney joint.
B. Chimney Termination Requirements
To determine the chimney components needed to complete your particular installation, follow the steps below:
•Determine the total vertical height of the fireplace installation. This dimension is measured from the base of the fireplace assembly to the point where the smoke exits the termination cap.
•Subtract the effective height of the fireplace assembly from the overall height of the fireplace installation (measured from the base of the fireplace to the bottom of the termination cap, 13 ft. (4m).
•Refer to Table 8.1 to determine what components must be selected to complete the fireplace installation.
•Determine the number of ceiling firestops, stabilizers, roof flashing, etc. required to complete the fireplace installation.

Caution! Risk of Fire and/or Asphyxiation! DO NOT connect this fireplace to a chimney flue servicing another appliance. Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system. These actions could cause overheating/fire in the chimney flue, or release of exhaust fumes into the living areas.
