A. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney

Location of the appliance and chimney will affect 

performance.  As shown in 

Figure 11.1 

the chimney 

should:

• 

Install through the warm space enclosed by the building 

envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially 

during lighting and die down of the fire.

•  Penetrate the highest part of the roof.  This minimizes 

the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.

• 

Consider the appliance location in order to avoid floor 

and ceiling attic joists and rafters.

•  Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent 

structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.

Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and 

can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will 

easily correct your flue problem.
