4.8.1 General Rules
CAUTION: Follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions for correct chimney installation,
unless otherwise
specified in these instructions.
Installing an interior chimney system will provide optimal performance. Exterior chimney systems may cause
drafting issues and an increased creosote buildup rate.
The height of the chimney, including the fireplace, must be between 15 and 35 feet.
The chimney must be connected only to the fireplace to be installed: it must not be connected to any other
appliance.
Portions of the chimney that extend through accessible spaces shall be enclosed by an enclosure.
The clearance between the chimney and any combustible material must not be less than 2 in.: this free space must
not be filled with insulation or any other material.
At least one support must be incorporated in the chimney installation.
A fire stop is required at each joist where the chimney goes through a ceiling or floor and through a wall.
Avoid deviations whenever possible. Deviations (especially more pronounced deviations) may cause drafting
issues.
The chimney shall extend at least 3 ft above its point of contact with the roof and at least 2 ft higher than any wall,
roof or adjacent building within a radius of 10 ft.
If the chimney extends 5 feet or more above the contact point with the roof, a roof brace must secure it in place.
A rain cap must be installed on the top of the chimney in order to avoid internal damage and corrosion.
Always start with a 6” anchor plate from your fireplace.
For clearances to combustibles when installing a combustible chase enclosure for above roof chimney sections,
consult with the chimney manufacturer.
Obtain the chimney installation instructions from your vendor, prior to the installation of the chimney. The chimney
installation must comply with the chimney manufacturer's instructions, unless otherwise noted in these instructions.
An anchor plate, supplied by the chimney manufacturer, must be fixed on the fireplace top with four self-tapping screws.
The connection of the chimney to the fireplace is done by installing the first chimney section (or an elbow) to the anchor
plate
.
