E. Chimney Termination Requirements
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for clearance, securing
flashing and terminating the chimney.
•
Must have an approved and Listed cap
•
Must not be located where it will become plugged by
snow or other material
• Must terminate at least 3 feet (91cm) above the roof
and
at least 2 feet (61cm) above any portion of the
roof within 10 feet (305cm).
• Must be located away from trees or other structures
D. Locating Your Stove & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in
Figure 27.1
the chimney should:
• Install through the warm space enclosed by the build
-
ing envelope. This helps to produce more draft, espe-
cially 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 obstruc-
tions.
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.

overdraft occurs.
NOTICE: Locating the appliance in a basement or in a location
