E. Chimney Termination Requirements
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for clearance, secur-
ing fl ashing and terminating the chimney.
• Must have an approved and Listed cap
• Must not be located where it will become plugged
by snow or other material

roof and at least 2 feet (61cm) above any portion
of the roof within 10 feet (305cm).

tures
D. Locating Your Stove & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in Figure 27.1 the chimney should:
• Install through the warm space enclosed by the build-
ing envelope. This helps to produce more draft, espe-
cially during lighting and die down of the fi re.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.
• Consider the appliance location in order to avoid
fl oor and ceiling attic joists and rafters.
•
Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstruc-
tions.
