waterproof sealant. Secure in place with screws or rivets.

Termination:
NFPA 211, “Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances”,
states that chimneys shall extend at least three feet
above the highest point where it passes through the roof
of a building, and at least two feet higher than any portion
of a building within ten feet.
(Figure 38)
If the horizontal distance from the chimney edge
to the peak of the roof is greater than 10', a chimney
height reference point is established on the roof surface
10' horizontally from the chimney edge. The top of the
chimney (point where exhaust gases exit) must be at least
2' above this reference point. In all cases the chimney
must terminate a minimum of 3' above the highest point
of the roof opening.
The ten foot rule is necessary in the interest of
safety and does not ensure smoke free operation. Trees,
building, adjoining rooflines, adverse wind conditions,
etc., may require a taller chimney should a smoking
problem exist.
