4.3.2 CHIMNEY INSTALLATION NOTES

No other device must be added to the chimney con-
nected to the fireplace.
• All chimney installations must include at least one
support. Reducing the amount of chimney weight
on the fireplace will help avoid the noise created
when the fireplace expands. This can be achieved
by having the chimney supported by the supports.
The maximum chimney length that should be
supported by the fireplace is 9 ft. (2.75 m) for 2"
solid-pack chimney and 12 ft. (3.7 m) for 1" sol-
id-pack Chimney.
• The chimney must extend at least 3 ft. (92 cm)
above its point of contact with the roof and at least
2 ft. (61 cm) higher than any wall, roof or building
within 10 ft. (3.1 m) of it.
• Deviations should be avoided whenever possible,
especially the most pronounced. Each deviation
adds some restriction to the chimney system and
may lead to draft problems.
• If the chimney extends higher than 5 ft. (1.5 m)
above its point of contact with the roof, it must be
secured using a roof brace.
• A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney.
Failure to install a rain cap may cause corrosion
problems.
• Cut and frame square holes in all floors, ceilings
and roof that the chimney will go through to pro-
vide a 2" (51mm) minimum clearance between the
chimney and any combustible materials. Do not fill
this space with insulation or any other combustible
material.
• Portions of the chimney which may extend through
accessible spaces must be enclosed to avoid
contact with combustible materials or damage the
chimney.
• To limit creosote buildup, it is strongly recom-
mended that an empty enclosure space be left
between the chimney stack and the outer framing
of the chimney. Make sure that at all points a
minimum clearance of 2" (51 mm) separates the
chimney and any combustible materials.
