Chimney Termination Requirements

•
The chimney must terminate a minimum 3' above the roof and 2' above any portion within 10'
(measured horizontally – see Figure 26). 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)
