Chimney Termination Requirements


The chimney must terminate a minimum 3' above the roof and 2' above any portion within 10'
(measured horizontally – see illustration below). This applies to flat and sloped roofs.

The chimney must have a chimney cap. A spark arrestor may be required in your area (check with
the local building department).

When using a chase to enclose a chimney, the chimney termination is not required to be 3' above the
chase as long as the chase is above the roof structure. The chimney cap must still maintain the 2, 3,
10 clearance to any other structure. See the illustration below.

Chimneys extending beyond a certain height (frequently 5') above the roof may require braces (check
the instructions included with the chimney for details)

Chimney termination must be a minimum 10' (3M) from any adjacent building. It must also be 2'
above any wall within 10'. Walls 10' or farther from the chimney termination may extend above the
chimney (this may negatively impact draft).

Follow the chimney manufacturer's requirements for installation in a chase (a roof radiation shield
may be required).
