Figure 8

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.
