ENGLISH
• The chimney must have at least one support . The maximum chimney length that should
be supported by the fireplace is 9 feet (2.75 m) for 2" Solid Pack chimney (5 cm) and 12 feet
(3.7 m) for 1" Solid Pack chimney.
• The chimney must extend at least 3 ft. (92 cm) above its point of contact with the roof and at
least 2 ft. (61 cm) higher than any wall, roof or building within 10 ft. (3.1 m) of it.
• WARNING : IF THE CHIMNEY IS INSTALLED IN A CHASE, IT MUST EXCEED THE TOP
OF IT BY AT LEAST 3 FEET (92 CM) IF IT’S MADE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS OR
AT LEAST 1.5 FEET (46 CM) WHEN IT IS MADE OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
• Avoid deviations as much as possible, especially the sharp ones. Each deviation adds
restriction to the system and can lead to draft problems.
• If the chimney extends higher than 5 ft. (1.5 m) above its point of contact with the roof, it must
be secured using a roof brace.
• A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney.
• Cut and frame square holes in all floors, ceilings, and roof that the chimney will go through to
provide a 2" (50 mm) minimum clearance between the chimney and any combustible materials.
Do not fill this 2" space with insulation or any other combustible material.
