1.4.6

 

Angled Radiation Shield 

 

When passing through a combustible wall with the chimney at a 30

 or 45

 angle (30

 or 45

 in 

Canada and 30

 only in the USA), an angled radiation shield provided by the chimney 

manufacturer must be installed. Only one is required. Follow the chimney manufacturer’s 
installation instructions. 
 
In cold climate locations, it is recommended that you use the insulated wall radiation shield since 
it will maintain the home’s thermal barrier.

Chimney Support Installation 

1.4.7.1

 

Universal Roof Support 

 
This support has three possible uses: 

1.  It must be used on a roof to support the chimney. 

2.  It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof above an offset to support the chimney above the 

offset. 

3.  It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof as a supplementary support. 
 
For roof support installation, refer to the instructions provided with the support by the chimney 
manufacturer.  Many manufacturers will provide the maximum height of chimney that can be 
supported by the support. Make sure you respect those parameters.
