10.6 Minimum Chimney Height
The top of the chimney should be high enough to be above the air turbulence caused when
wind blows against the house and its roof. The chimney must extend at least 3 ft. (1 m) above
the highest point of contact with the roof, and at least 2 ft.(60 cm) higher than any roof line
or obstacle within a horizontal distance of 10 ft. (3 m). The total system height, from the floor
the appliance is mounted on to the top of the chimney, should never be less than 15 feet
(4.6 m).

10.7 Chimney Location
The location of the chimney is crucial for
the proper functioning of the appliance.
The chimney should be installed within the
house rather than up an outside wall and
should rise straight up through the tallest
part of the house. This installation benefits
from being enclosed within the warm house
environment, produce stronger draft,
accumulate fewer creosote deposits and
will be unaffected by cold temperatures or
harsh winds.
