E. Chimney Termination Requirements

Follow manufacturer’s instructions for clearance, securing 

flashing and terminating the chimney, Figures 3.13 & 3.14.
•  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  (91  cm)  above  the  roof 

and

 at least 2 feet (61 cm) above any portion of the roof 

within 10 feet (305 cm).

•  Must be located away from trees or other structures

NOTICE:

•  Chimney performance may vary.

•  Trees,  buildings,  roof  lines  and  wind  conditions  affect 

performance.

•  Chimney  height  may  need  adjustment  if  smoking  or 

overdraft occurs.

D. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney

Location  of  the  appliance  and  chimney  will  affect 

performance. As shown in Figure 3.12 the chimney should:

•  Install through the warm space enclosed by the building 

envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially 

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.

NOTICE: 

Locating  the  appliance  in  a  basement  or  in  a 

location of considerable air movement can cause intermittent 

smoke spillage from appliance. Do not locate appliance near

•  Frequently open doors
•  Central heat outlets or returns

•  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 obstructions.

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.
