national codes and regulations.

measurements for clearances and floor protection, before
actually beginning the installation
Consideration must be given to:

• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector.

appliance where there will be a clear passage for a
factory-built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.

location of the vent termination.
