TERMINATION
Many building codes specify a minimum chimney heights above the
roof top. These specifications are summarized in what is known as the
“Ten Foot Rule”. This rule states:
If the horizontal distance from the side of the chimney to the peak of
the roof is 10 feet or less, the top of the chimney must be at least 2 feet
above the peak of the roof, but never less than 3 feet in overall height
above the highest point where it passes through the roof (Figure 34).
If the horizontal distance from the side of the chimney to the peak
of the roof is more than 10 feet, a chimney height reference point is
established on the surface of the roof a distance of 10 feet from the side
of the chimney in a horizontal plane. The top of the chimney must be at
least 2 feet above this reference point, but never less than 3 feet in height
above the highest point where it passes through the roof (Figure 35).
These chimney heights are necessary in the interest of safety and do
not ensure smoke free operation. Trees, buildings, adjoining roof lines,
adverse wind conditions-etc., may create a need for a taller chimney,
should smoking occur.
Additional support is required above the roof if the chimney height
exceeds four (4) feet.
Select the proper support for your application-using either a roof
brace (Figure 36), or a support band with guy wires (Figure 37)

1. Assemble the attachment support band (SPSB) around the chimney,
and clamp it in place at the desired height using the nut and bolt provided.
2. Loosely attach the support legs to the bolts on the attachment band
using hardware provided.
3. Position the support legs as shown in Figure 36. The length of the
support legs can be adjusted by loosening the bolt on the leg clamp.
4. Secure legs to roof using screws provided. Seal screw holes to
prevent roof leaks.
5. Tighten all hardware.
