height reference pdnt is established on the roof

edge. The lop of the chimney must be at least 2

the chimney cannot be less then 5 (914mm) above
the roof at the edge of the chimney.

The 2 in 10' ,ule is necessary in the interest of
salety bu! does not ensure smokefree operation.
Trees, buildings, adjoining rwf lines, adverse wind

the fireplace not draR properly (Figure 38).
If more than one termination islocsted in thesame
chase or wilhin !he same general proximity, we
suggest they should
be
separated in distance at
least 24' (610mm) horizontally from flue center lo
flue center and stacked or staggered venically at
least 18' (457mm) apart, from the termination of
one smoke exit tothetermination of another smoke
exit (figure 39).

CHIMNEY COMPONENT
CALCULATIONS
The minimum installed height ol the ST-1 series
lireplace sptem (including lireplace and chimney
mmponenls) is 15'0' j4.57m).
The
maximum sys-
tem height is 44'0' (13.41 m).
Todelerminethe number of chimney sedbns and
chimney components required, followthesestep:
I. Determine total vertical height ol the fireplaca
installation. This dimension is thedistance from the
surface the teplace sets on to the point where
smoke exns lrom the termination.

2. Determine the number of chimney mmponents
required, except chknney sedbns. This would
indude lirestop spacers, dabilizers, roo1 flashing,
