When selecting the location, the chimney outlet position and the direction of the wind are important factor affecting the chimney performance. To
allow a maximum draft and to reduce wind turbulence, the chimney must:
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof.
• Be installed as far as possible of roof offsets, trees or any other obstructions that may cause wind turbulence and back drafts in the chimney.
• The least amount of offsets (elbows) possible.
NOTE:
A maximum of 2 offsets is allowed.
