Chimney Requirements
¥
Minimum 15' system height (measured from the floor)

necessary to reduce wind-induced down drafting and back puffing, or to increase draft, thereby
improving fireplace operating characteristics.

The mantel must be a minimum of 4" below
the header (a maximum 61" above the floor)

top of the Fireplace Xtrordinair to form an
expansion buffer between the fireplace and the
